Re: IP address geo location Error
Your external, visible, IP address is not a reliable indicator of anything. If you're not using a VPN then it just comes from a pool of dynamic IP addresses assigned to your ISP. Some people have static IP addresses that might be associated with a physical address, but this is quite unusual.

No, your IP address is not a reliable indicator of your EXACT location.

Re: IP address geo location Error
I am on Comcast and the IP address location is about where the local Comcast Transmission Center is at.
This center is about 10 miles away.
I just tried 3 different site and found
Whatismyipaddress.com is as stated above
Whatismyip.com says I am in New Jersey I am in Western Washington state
Iplocation.com is about 2 blocks from where I am at.
