I imagine they could compile large datasets of ping times and server locations and do some extrapolation. I don't think it ever goes past a best guess but they'd have an idea (if what this person said actually happens).

    Companies dont really need to know where you are. They just need to know where you aren't. If you are not within a certain threshold of response time to certain cdn servers, then its reasonable to assume that you are outside their contractually obligated broadcast region.
