This is an argument over the accuracy of georeferencing IP addresses and in my experience it is adequate for my needs.

Je suppose que le Texas est au Québec.
What was the point of replying in French?
> My home in Texas had an IP address which a lot of databases had as supposedly being in Montreal.
J'ai dû apprendre le français parce que les bases de données géo-IP sont des déchets.
So many sites defaulted to French due to shit geo-ip databases. So many account lockouts because of fears credentials got hijacked due to shit geo-ip databases. So many "sorry this isn't available in your country" messages because of shit geo-ip databases. So many stores defaulting to Canadian dollars because of shit geo-ip databases.
They're so annoying to be on the receiving end.
