This site wont hurt, but it will tell you, possibly rather too exactly
(it certainly knew which exchange I was on ADSL wise, and I'd still like
to know how) where you are located.

I would be very interested to know how many people here find the same -
that it is more accurate than it has any right to be.


I use a fixed IP but this web site doesn't seem to get beyond the
identity and location of my ISP.
