What a Quito IP address tells you
Quito's peering concentrates in NAP.EC - UIO, which holds 19 of the 51 participant records the city's four exchanges list between them. PIT - Ecuador - Quito follows with 14, PIT LATITUD 0° - IXECUADOR with 10 and BGP.Exchange - Quito with 8. Colocation forms a second layer, with nine facilities on record sharing 15 network presences, 8 of them at Cirion Quito - QUI2 and 4 at EdgeUno Datacenter Quito Ecuador (UIO1). Both Ecuadorian carriers that have a mobile ASN on record peer at NAP.EC - UIO, where Movistar's AS19114 and Claro's AS23487 sit in the participant list.
A database can place an address in Quito while the equipment using it sits elsewhere in Ecuador. Operators register address blocks against a company record, and that record carries the company's own address rather than the location of any device. Mobile traffic widens the gap, because a carrier routes large subscriber pools through a small number of gateways, and everyone behind one gateway shares its public address whatever province the handset is in. Geolocation databases read what the operator publishes, so they repeat the location the operator chose.
The origin ASN on the specific prefix answers more than a city label does. A route originating from Claro's AS23487 or Movistar's AS19114 is mobile access wherever the lookup places it, and the netname with the registered holder on that prefix names the company the block belongs to. A block held by one of the facility operators on the Quito list, such as Cirion or Telconet, points at hosting rather than a handset. Reading the prefix record against the participant list at NAP.EC - UIO is as close as public data gets.

Questions
Which internet exchanges are in Quito?
PeeringDB lists four. NAP.EC - UIO has 19 participants, PIT - Ecuador - Quito has 14, PIT LATITUD 0° - IXECUADOR has 10 and BGP.Exchange - Quito has 8. Together they account for the 51 participant records registered in the city.
Do Ecuador mobile carriers peer in Quito?
Two of the three carriers in the registry do, at NAP.EC - UIO. Movistar's AS19114 and Claro's AS23487 both appear in its participant list. The other three Quito exchanges list no mobile carrier ASN, and CNT has no mobile ASN on record, so its peering cannot be checked this way.
Does an IP that geolocates to Quito mean the device is there?
No. The city label reflects the address an operator registered for the block, and mobile carriers route many subscribers through few gateways, so a handset anywhere in Ecuador can appear on a Quito address. Check the origin ASN and the netname on the prefix instead.
