 2a0b:f4c0:16c::/48:
 as: AS205100
 country: server: DE; operator: DE; hoster: =operator

 not listed :-)

 185.220.101.0/24:
 as: AS208294
 country: server: NL; operator: DE; hoster: GB

 maxmind: as: AS200052 (outdated since some weeks)
 maxmind: country: DE <--------------------- Ops, but not completely wrong
 new-db: as: AS208294
 new-db: country: NL <--------------------- for me it looks better

 as: AS60729
 country: server: DE; operator: DE; hoster: DE

 maxmind: as: AS60729
 maxmind: country: DE
 new-db: as: AS60729
 new-db: country: NL (wrong!) <--------------------- Ops
 ----

 185.220.103.0/24:
 as: AS4224
 country: server: USA?; operator: USA; hoster: USA?

 maxmind: as: AS4224
 maxmind: country: DE (wrong!) <--------------------- Ops
 new-db: as: AS4224
 new-db: country: NL (wrong!) <--------------------- Ops

 ----

 Sumup:

 AS Wrong:
 - Maxmind: 1 (okay, this is just outdated, maybe they need some more weeks
 (years?))
 - New-DB: 0
 Country Wrong:
 - Maxmind: 1.5 (listened the operator as country)
 - New-DB: 2

 My personal experience with maxmind is, that they just don't response to
 contact about wrong entries. Maybe it would be a good idea to the that on
 the New-DB.
