Choosing a free geolocation database

1.2k views Asked by At

We are looking for a free (or not so expensive) downloadable geolocation database (not the online service). Would like to get following information:

1. IP -> Country
2. IP -> City
3. IP -> Connection Speed
4. Lat/Long -> City

I found many online services but that's not what I am looking for. I found following options for downloadable databases although they don't provide all the features.

1. maxmind GeoLite2  
2. ip2nation
3. ip2location lite

Any comments on relative accuracy of these databases? Also, any suggestions IP --> connection speed db? Maxmind provides IP --> connection speed DB but quite expensive and at this moment we do not have budget.

Any recommendation?

Both Maxmind and IP2Location are doing good in term of accuracy. They have been in geolocation industry since the very beginning.

Both of them also offer connection speed database.
