I've used the free MaxMinds database for a while but since the last year I've been using iplist.cc. It supports IPv4, IPv6, shows if an IP is tor, spam, which ASN and a lot more.

It's also free and fast but with services like these I always wonder how long they manage to stay free.

Right. The first worry is "will this be here tomorrow?" The second is "how much more will they end up charging?"

I had good success with maxmind's free database. I can't find tooth results for accuracy but my sampling was pretty good. They also have an incentive to keep it.
