Verizon assigns an IP from their pool. If the wireless router reboots it 
may or may not get the same apparent external address.

I'll say it again. slowly. Verizon wireless. Figure out how CGNAT works. 
The edge server may be in Colorado or Utah. I've even seen Kansas. If I go 
to a site like https://whatismyipaddress.com/  it's going to reflect where 
the server is. 

For most purposes it doesn't make a difference. However if I go to a site 
like homedepot.com  and click on an item it will tell me I can pick it up 
at the Castle Rock Colorado store, which is close to 1000 miles away.
