idmfactory.com?

Tell us what ISP you are on
to populate this section!
(we think the domain name is: idmfactory.com)

Why is it the DSL Reoprts thins that I am using idmfactory as my ISP?
The url idmfactory.com leads to a Microsoft Office Live site that has not yet been worked on. I would be interested in finding out how DSLReoprts determines the ISP.

As far as I know, they are looking up your IP address in a database. The database seems to be incomplete and not completely accurate.

In my case, they don't even have the "we think the domain name is" clause, though I would have though that the rDNS lookup result would provide a big hint.
