Not being very technically minded, why does my IP address still show as New Jersey in the USA?
Basically, in the world there are something called IP Geo Database. What this means is ISP (such as Yayzi) inform these Geo Databases that the IP block they own/rent is located in London. As such they will input this info into the Geo Database where other providers such as BBC can query. They mainly use it for Geo Restrictions, this is why its causing such an issue here. The Geo Database also is used so that people who say provide a website can make sure your getting it in the native language. There are many many other reasons for the Database but this list could be quite big lol.

Hi All
Still need help as nothing happened since I posted my topic here
Databases have all been update, we’ve also published a geofeed for them to pull from live - We are now having to wait for them to update said databases. Any database anyone spots please let us know and we can conact them right away!
I am also having the same issue. I cannot get on to national-lottery.co.uk for example. I thought this was resolved a while back but it seems to have returned.

Add Screwfix account login to the list too 
Scxrewfix main site is fine, just get an access denied message when logging in to my account.
National lottery app doesn’t work.
That’s your account lol
We’ve reached out to both National Lottery and Screwfix about this

Ok it looks like it’s just their login page, but yes still the same thing, I must have been off the WiFi when I logged in.

I have to question why this is such an Issue for Yayzi, while not for other ISPs. Why are the 3rd party providers not treating Yayzi the same as others ?

Other providers are definitely having issues too, I think the difference is we engage on active public forums - We don’t try to hide issues
Yayzi is very very transparent. Not to mention that others like virgin have a bigger IP block.

Their IP addresses have probably been around longer as well, such as virgin had been around longer.

Agreed, never had an ISP that updates and responds this fast ever!

After sky refused to acknowledge this issue I got rid of Sky. I had countless arguments with tech Where i caught them lying saying my account was not suitable for on demand content.
