Hi,
Our Customers get US mirrors while using our IPv6 subnets (range 2a04:92c0::/29) and UK mirrors while using our IPv4 subnets (range 185.42.223.0/24), while all subnets are used, and marked as GB.

As a result of that IPv6 enabled host have very slow download speeds and use international connectivity while they could use local mirrors.

How to fix that ? I suppose that's something to do with geo IP database, can you fix on your end or shall we contact someone (which geo IP DB are you using in that case?) ?

Thanks!

With Kind Regards,
