Just noticed that when I go to default Google page, it takes me to the Irish domain, not the UK one.

i.e. http://www.google.ie/



If Google thinks I'm Irish, I guess the BBC might do also (and I know IPlayer is blocked from access outside the UK)

BUT I'M NOT IRISH...AND I DON'T LIVE IN IRELAND. I'M ENGLISH AND LIVE IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE!!!

So the question now, is why do these sites think I'm Irish. Country location is set to UK on all my PC's. How else do they decide which country you live in?

G
seems like the routing is done through Ireland and it causing issues with Google and BBC Iplayer as well.Can you paste tracert report to google and bbc as well?
