Change to Comcast Business ISP name
November 8, 2016This release note is more than two years old and may no longer reflect
current behavior. View the
latest release notes.
We’ve updated any GeoIP database or service providing ISP and Organization data to return Comcast Business rather than Comcast Business Communications. We are doing so in order to use the trade name of the ISP and also because it is shorter.
Please note that if you use this data point, for example, to flag a visitor if they change ISP, you may need to adjust your implementation in order to avoid false positive or negative flags.
The following GeoIP databases and services are affected by this change:
- GeoIP2 ISP database
- GeoIP2 Enterprise database (Update will apply to November 15th release)
- GeoIP Legacy ISP and Organization databases
- GeoIP2 City Plus and Legacy City Web Service
- GeoIP2 and Legacy Insights Web Service
