I have had my best luck with getting google to correct geo-loc issues by =
sending it in as a business end user instead of as an ISP.
If you have a user who is being affected directly by the incorrect =
geo-loc data (My store is showing in the wrong country), Google takes =
that much more seriously than the issue affecting dynamically assigned =
blocks.=20

Message me off list and I can explain a little better.=20
