How do you suppose an increase in connected IPs affect their ability to geolocate users behind a VPN?

Once they've calculated the VPN exit point, with sufficient data they can eliminate that and reveal the ping times 'behind the curtain' back to your actual ISP. That gives a geolocation radius that can be correlated with other data.
