You might want to take a look at

    http://www.akamai.com/html/sv/edse.html

I don't know anything more about this service other than what it says 
on the Web pages, but from that it would seem to be what you are 
looking for. They claim to be able to tell you:
 
    Country from which user is accessing site
    Geographic region within that country (i.e., state or province)
    Name of user's origin network
    User connection type: dial-up, DSL, ISDN or cable

Also, I can see how you could do the first three items, but I am at a 
loss on how one could do the last item with any accuracy.  Any 
guesses?
