[Connectivity] What is the best way to change / updated geo location on IP??

What is the best way to get my geo location on my IP updated? My IP address shows a different state.
My modem rebooted after 2 months of up time and it received a new IP address.
Yes, I tired to change my MAC address , I did get a new IP but incorrect geo location again, in a different state.

Thanks

It should change by itself eventually. You can try using »www.maxmind.com/en/correction though.

Geo-location is done by third parties, not by ISPs.

Here's a site that netcool had previously suggested:

said by netcool:

Comcast does not maintain a geolocation database.

I believe a user can submit a request to update their location with each of the geolocation data providers though.
