What does this web page say about your location? http://whatismyipaddress.com/

With a wired internet connection, the location of the IP Address that you are using is reported by your Internet Service Provider to the "IP address services" on the web. That information is used by web pages to determine your location and the send you relevant information or advertisements. If the location is "off", you might want to ask your ISP about why you are "pegged" as 75 miles from your physical location.
