IP Geolocation for my static block...

So I have a /29 block assigned to my account and I consistently have to reassociate myself on certain websites for my actual location.  For example when I browse craigslist it thinks I am in Seattle.  Purchases on homedepot.com always suggest my closest store as being in Bellevue, WA.  This happens all over the internet and all within a very close proximity to Seattle.  I would be so very pleased if someone could reassociate me with a location much closer to reality like Spokane Valley, WA or something.  Thank you!!

There are four players in the geolocation provider game, but comcast isn't one of them. I'm pretty sure they all accept corrections or update requests, but I'm equally sure it's more trouble than it's worth (I've been shopping at some rather inconvenient Home Depot locations myself for quite some time now).

Homedepot and SpeedTest.net are now correct!!!  Thank you "J" for your help took a little bit of waiting but now they are all correct.

 

Oh and Maxmind was all I updated to make all my shopping, speed test and craigslist populate my correct information.

 

Filled out this form https://support.maxmind.com/geoip-data-correction-request/ and just days later it happened.
