Re: Geo IP tool
Apparently I'm in Bickley - somewhere in South London. In fact it seems it's cleverly worked out that I'm on ntl's Bromley platform, since Bickley is just next door to Bromley

Oddly enough my office appears to have been relocated 25 miles to the centre of London too.

Re: Geo IP tool
My IP is shown as being near Greenwich station, which is odd, as I work about a 15 minute walk away from there. I then assumed it was picking up where our computer department is (they are off campus to prevent students going to them with queries), but, IIRC, they are in a building nearer Maze Hill station. So, nearly right but not quite.
BTW, I am sure that last time I checked with Visual Route, the BBC website was shown as being hosted at LINX in docklands.

If your referring to Uni, it's not. The main router is on one of the comms rooms in the building next to the one were I work.
If you are referring to the BBC, yes, it's entirely possible..
