For the last few months when sites try to detect where my location is, they return with either WA or SA as my state.
This frustrating. I am in Melbourne, so why is my location being detected as SA (currently) or WA (a few weeks ago).
I was building up a Linux pc the other day and it automatically set my location to SA.
Anyone know why this is happening?
I have a Mailchimp account and just logged into it and got an email saying that someone from SA with my IP address logged into the account???? But this was me and I am not in SA.
Cheers.
It's because the IP adresses that used to belong to the various ISPs got tossed into the bucked and get doled out randomly by the NBN systems, I have been in Queensland a few times, and parts of norther NSW as well, all whicle safely ensconced in Melbourne. :-)
Geolocation by IP address has always been unreliable, it's just worse now.

I have the same problem but it is only a bit frustrating, is not actually causing any problems as I can redirect google to where I need it. The most frustrating part is using streaming tv services like i7 or 9now as those services rely on geolocation address for advertisements - so I get to see all Adelaide adverts!
