IP Location issue

I'm having issues with the t-mobile geolocation with my wife's VPN. Her job requires her to connect through VPN, but the "Okta" service reroutes all her traffic to the closest VPN server from the IP she is connecting from. Although we get good bandwidth with our gateway, all traffic is being re-routed from AZ to WA or CA and that brings it to it's knees. Right is experiencing 1% of the capacity with her VPN connection because it is not local to her company in AZ. I know there are multiple DBs out there that get refreshed every week to every month on the location of the IPs by the providers, but this has to be a job of the provider, not the customer since most of us get a dynamic IP anyway.
There are several locations for customers to “fix” their IP locations:

… but then again, this should not be the job of the customer since the IP given, can change at any time.
