IP Locator Connection Speed Advisory
Beginning the week of January 23rd, 2023, Melissa’s Global IP API will be updated with new possible values for connection speed. This gives the API the ability to return more detailed information on different types of connection speeds.
The update may or may not require an update to your code depending on how your implementation consumes the API. It is important to review the information below to see if you are affected. Here are the changes for the possible values for connection speeds.

*Users whose implementation restrict the addition of new values for output fields should review their code. It is recommended that you allow for the dynamic addition of new values for all fields to allow for improvements to be seamless.
