When I'm at home, websites think I'm in San Diego (92110) instead of the East Bay (94563).
Google knows better but once I get to a site, it invariably directs me to wrong locations.
I've looked in my modem and hardware settings but it seems to be something external to my LAN - like something set to my IP address.

How do I fix this?

It might be a mistake in the geo databases for the IP you are on.

You can check it via:
https://www.iplocation.net

I am on FTTN, so am on AT&T ip space. My look up results are pretty accurate.

I have this problem too. Every time I go to Bestbuy.com, it thinks I'm in Santa Rosa. I live in San Francisco. How do I fix this?

Thanks! So the IP location test shows I'm in San Diego.

But now what? is this something that Sonic can fix or is it ATT?
