Largest networks in British Indian Ocean Territory

The operators holding the most IPv4 address space that geolocates to British Indian Ocean Territory, from the same data that answers a lookup.

How accurate is geolocation in British Indian Ocean Territory?

Country-level accuracy is reliable — the address blocks allocated to networks operating in British Indian Ocean Territory are well documented by the regional registry. City-level accuracy is not a guarantee anywhere: an address is mapped to where its network announces it, which is often a provider hub rather than the user's suburb.

Every response carries an accuracyRadius in kilometres. Treat the coordinates as the centre of a circle that size, not as a pin. Mobile and corporate connections in British Indian Ocean Territory routinely resolve to a different city entirely, and anyone on a VPN will resolve wherever the exit node sits.
