german adverts

anyone on gateway ptn bng02?
speedtest.net says I am on infonet and adverts on web pages are for german companies

Could you post the first three parts of your IP address please.

It isn't related to the gateway but to the allocated IP address - probably beginning 146
This may be worth a read http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,1309...

146 first numbers of ip

The problem of IP block trading and third parties keeping up to date with stuff as it moves around.

Your IP Block is registered with Plusnet but may take some places longer to catch up

In August 2014, a Plusnet staff member admitted the IP whois was a "mish mash" of detail: http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,1309...

And it still is, now in 2016.

In reference to whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-146-200-0-0-1/pft:

Name INFONET Services Corporation
Handle INFO
Street 2160 East Grand Avenue
City El Segundo
State/Province CA
Postal Code 90245-1022
Country US

I meant the first three parts, not first three digits (i.e. like 123.456.789.*)

sorry not read it properly
146.199.89

hows this for a laugh
just gone onto my laptop and on
http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news
and the ads are all english and have refeshed it a few times
but on same page on my desktop the ads are german and refreshed a few times
desktop linked via cable and laptop wifi

You may have different URLs on the two PCs-

http://www.msn.com/de-de/news

http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news

Jumping between the two, the "news" content is significantly different.
