Yeah that's what I mean - for many countries, you'll never narrow it down to a city. The best you can do is narrow it down to the city that the user's ISP is in - you can't say that you'll be able to narrow down to the city the user is in.
FWIW, the www.geobytes.com site doesn't strike me as particularly professional either, and their flash demo doesn't work for me, I don't get anything. I would not be inclined to pay them for their services.
