Hi, I just got my Sonic fiber install and its great! I was wondering about my location though. I’m in San Francisco, but many websites think I’m in Santa Rosa or Cherry Reservoir in Kansas??. Is this something that will be updated, as I only got service yesterday?
I’m not referring to the phone, as I’ve not even plugged one in, but this does bring up the issues of 911 and emergencies as well.

Thanks

You can dial 933 from a connected telephone to get a read-back of the e911 address.

IP address geolocation is a guess at best, by third party entities that try to work out where folks are located. It's pretty easy to isolate by country, but beyond that, it is all deduction on their part. WE certainly don't tell anyone where any of our customers are located, that would be a privacy issue. So, we can't really say how, or what they might guess your location might be.
