Are you talking about a cell phone service or Comcast cable service ?  Comcast HFC / coax (DOCSIS) uses hardwired coax cable and fiber optic cables that are land-based. Cell service uses wireless / air-based "towers".

@Johnnyeagle​ That doesn’t answer the question that was asked. Are you referring to Xfinity Home Internet or a Cellular/Mobile service?

Your home internet is through line that are coax and fiber which would be over land. I'm not sure what is reffered to. 

I no longer work for Comcast.

What exactly is your question / issue ? Is it that your location information is incorrect ?

How does that show anything except for your public IP address ? I had to make to make that post private because that is considered to be private information. The posting of personal / private information is in violation of their forum guidelines... You should edit out that link.

Mine used to do that and I would get a notification text that someone connected to my home network when I was at work and nobody else is in the house. So I ended up having to talk to Comcast and I went ahead and a router and got my list of my firewall outgoing and ain't going to see where it was but back then I was using the WPS button on the top of the modem and don't ever use that because you think they can get packets off the cell towers said they can walk in front of your house with their Stingray pull everything passwords everything they shouldn't even have that button

Wireless networks with WPS enabled are highly vulnerable to cybersecurity threats. Attackers can easily target the WPS function to steal network passwords, regardless of how complex the password is. In essence, there is no point in creating a strong password in a weak network.
