If you have cable, it's probably where the cable servers are, not your actual house address.


Frequenly those "geo-location" IP address things are off by a long way, so unless you can put it your *actual* location I wouldn't trust the answer you get. They're often going by the owners of netblocks and where companies are headquartered, etc. Sometimes they are very accurate and sometimes they are off by a *looooong* way.. (I have IP's in Edmonton that show up as being in Toronto in some of them..)
