This release note is more than two years old and may no longer reflect current behavior. View the latest release notes.

We are updating several ISP names in our data. We expect to release these changes in new database updates and web service requests beginning Friday, July 12, 2024.

There are two kinds of changes to expect.

First, we will update several popular ISP names to match their current naming and branding conventions:

Current ISP name in MaxMind data	Updated ISP name in MaxMind data
`Korea Telecom`	`KT`
`Telecom Italia`	`TIM`
`Telecom Italia Mobile`	`TIM Mobile`
`SaudiNet`	`stc Saudi`
`Lg Powercomm`	`LG Uplus`
`Versatel Deutschland`	`1&1 Versatel`
`Telefonica O2 UK`	`O2 UK`
`INDOSAT Internet Network Provider`	`Indosat`
`Telefonica del Peru`	`Movistar Peru`
`TDC Danmark`	`TDC Net`
`T-mobile Polska`	`T-Mobile Polska`
`Atlantic Broadband`	`Breezeline`
`Vodafone New Zealand`	`One NZ`

Second, we will be updating the ISP name for a number of AT&T networks. About 1,000 (0.003%) AT&T networks in the United States will have an updated ISP name, either AT&T Internet or AT&T Wireless.

Updated AT&T networks will have corresponding updates to their connection_type value as well. For most networks, this will mean:

Updated ISP name	Updated connection type
`AT&T Internet`	`Cable/DSL`
`AT&T Wireless`	`Cellular`

Please note that some AT&T networks may not have the corresponding connection type, because connection type values are dependent on additional signals.

These changes will be reflected in the following products and services:

GeoIP Insights web service
GeoIP City Plus web service
GeoIP ISP database
GeoIP Connection Type database
GeoIP Enterprise database
