Bug Description

Ever since switching internet provider, geoip.ubuntu.com/lookup is showing USA as country. I am however living in the Netherlands, which was reported as my country before the switch.
Other services, like ipinfo.io, are returning the correct information.

Why does the Ubuntu geoip service show incorrect information? One of the side effects of this is that in the package sources I see a list of American mirrors, instead of European mirrors.

I asked the internet provider, but they could not explain why this is happening.
