I am more a fan of continental geolocation accuracy when it comes to IP
addresses.

If your static IP address has a reverse name in DNS, it's a short hop
through whois to your actual location.
Well, usually. It is possible that none of the contact addresses are
where the IP address is located - especially for large organizations.
And there are the whois proxies that obscures your physical location.
My whois information is there, if someone wanted to know.
But I was thinking to get the LOC for city hall and use that.
Police/fire are right next door. :)
We don't have any above-ground water to use for the GPS LOC ;)
Afterall, my desire is to show that my servers are in Oak Park, not
Plymouth MI.
Still, it's pretty hard to hide. (Even in a Kansas lake.)
Depending on your situation, you may wish to have different accuracy
and/or precision in internal and external LOC records.
But on the original topic: Contact Maxmind and see if they'll fix
your address.
https://support.maxmind.com/geoip-data-correction-request/ They may
require evidence that Comcast has delegated the address to you.
Worth doing. I have the contract for the static address assignment.

AFAIK Maxmind et al don't lookup LOC records. That being said if
enough people published LOC records they might start.
For Google you can update the location using a app which uses the
phone's GPS.
