Does my IP address 88.81.140.44 look different to other UK IP addresses ???

As many online places seem to class me as being in the US or somewhere else :mad:

I've just looked it up on two sites:

Code:

IP Address	Host Name
88.81.140.44	Unknown

City 		Region/State	Postal Code
LONDON 	 	ENGLAND		-

Country Name	Country Code	Time Zone
UNITED KINGDOM	UK		+00:00

ISP		Latitude	Longitude
CABLE & WIRELESS GUERNSEY ADSL CUSTOMERS	51.517	-0.105

Domain Name	Net Speed	IP Decimal
CWGSY.NET	DSL		1481739308

But the other put it as Funchal, Madeira, Portugal :confused:

Well the entire netblock is marked as Guernsey, it hasn't been updated recently and has been allocated for a while (so it's unlikely to be a recycled block). It has the correct country code set - If I had to bet I'd say somebody has marked it as unknown or non uk in their database - good luck finding who, best bet will be asking the people who's sites you can't access.
