Why does my home internet gateway list my location as Detroit when my location is 4 hours away in Ohio? It’s not ideal when searching online for “places near me.”

I guess what I meant by inherent was the cellular connection could connect wherever they decide you connect( over simplification) . I wasn't trying to imply that Detroit would be it, sorry.
