When I first got my Comcast (business) connection in this house it
showed my location in a small town in Colorado (Craig), which is
approximately 4 hours away from Denver, where I am.

I don't know if it ever got updated because when they came out for the
5th time to fix something they replaced the modem and claimed they had
to assign me a new IP.
