Google is so dumb with my ip address
Google thinks I live in Cloverdale CA, because they believe my ip address that was assign to me which came from santa rosa ca is from cloverdale california. Even though, my ip address came from santa rosa ca and my address is in forestville ca.
I couldn't find an xfinity store in cloverdale ca. I couldn't find my forestville ca address in cloverdale ca.

Comcast assigns your public IP address, but does not supply geolocaton info. Web sites get location information from third parties and it's a somewhat dark art. Essentially websites you provide location information to make extra $$$ by selling your location and IP address info to geolocation providers, who turn around and sell that information to companies who want to know where you are located. It's common for different providers to report different locations.
