I'm going to take this further, I think they get the Geo-coding that's added too your IP address (probably the reverse look up of it). The reason I say this I'm with Verizon DSL (going to Frontier soon) and I live in NW Ohio and ever since I got DSL with them any places on the internet that tried to autodetect where I"m from would put me somewhere in Northern Indiana/Ill near Chicago.

As the X as just shown up for me.....I just wish I could afford to get it!
