Hey there, I had the same thing happen with me. You are the first one besides myself that I saw asked about this. I live in Iowa, USA and when I set up my account it all looked good. I work for a company that has it's parent company in Germany. I was totally unaware that when I was logging in at work, my data was going all the way to Germany to our main server and it would the show me as being in Europe. I asked the same question and got the answer you just got. After going home and logging in, sure enough it shows me back in the US. somehow it does pick up on your ip-address regardless of how your account is set up. I'm not asking where you are from but you might think when you are logging in, where are you doing this from? GIL is exactly right about this. Maybe you are unsure where your provider actually is going through, but I bet that is what is going on.
You might see your ip-address or goggle shows you as being in the US, but look a little deeper and see who actually owns the service. It might be going through a server here, but ultimately owned by a Canadian company, etc. I don't know the exact answer, just offer some opinions. Like I said I have the same situation, and I show my ip-address is in the US but it is a private organization owned by a company in Germany. |
