Geolocation Consensus: True
Multiple Sources: 2 geolocation sources confirm Finland placement
NOTABLE DISCREPANCY: Historical traceroute observations indicate transit through Comcast networks with geo-signals pointing to New York, US. This discrepancy may reflect routing path variations rather than endpoint location. The primary geolocation consensus remains Finland with 2500km accuracy radius.
