My ISP recently changed my IP address after 10 years on the same IP.
That's OK, but...
whatismyip.com and whatismyipaddress.com and others like this return a city name for my IP address that is either of two cities. One is correct. The other city name is 100 miles away and is in another city served by my ISP.
Could this be that my ISP has done something wrong to get the region for this new IP address to proliferate to all DNSes? My ISP is huge Time Warner Cable.
Impact to me: For some reason, this causes me to be considered risky in posting on one forum and I get jammed on to CAPTCHAs for all postings. Also, I'm getting spam and the like related to the other city.
