> We're the trusted source for IP address information, handling 50 billion IP geolocation API requests per month for over 1,000 businesses and 100,000+ developers

This page shows where other providers might _think_ an IP address is located vs where we _know_ it is actually located. As we have discussed, we use our 700 servers strong ProbeNet to generate the most accurate IP geolocation database in the industry, so it is vital to show the capabilities of this improved accuracy method.

> Trust but verify. Get evidence-backed data to verify IP geolocation. The [IPinfo IP data pages](https://ipinfo.io/what-is-my-ip) come with ping latency-based IP geolocation evidence for “disputed” IP geolocations. In some instances, we have discovered that other IP geolocation providers may use older/stale databases, unverified data or exclusively rely on self-reported location data to identify locations of IP addresses. At IPinfo, we use [our globe-spanning 350+ server-strong probe network infrastructure, ProbeNet](https://ipinfo.io/blog/probe-network-how-we-make-sure-our-data-is-accurate/). To …

You can learn about inaccurate location information regarding WHOIS data as well as the IPs shown on this page. Check out the “Range” page from the IP address and see the “Country”. The country shown on the range page is derived from the WHOIS records.

In this example, you can see the IP is geolocated in Singapore, but the `/24` range locates it in Poland. Moreover, other providers think the IP address is in Argentina. Amidst all this location confusion, only IPinfo shows the actual location of the IP address using ping-based data from our Probe Network.
