[AusNOG] Speedtest.net and other 'ISP' lists

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

They simply use Maxmind.  You can submit a correction here:
http://www.maxmind.com/en/correction

They will set it to whatever you want, within reason (i.e. APNIC won't put
my trading name on my netblocks, but I don't want 'Gardner, Damien' coming
up in speedtest for customers, so I contacted maxmind, and now it shows the
ISP as Rendrag Networks :)

 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
 and tore the world asunder
