AMAZON: IP and Physical Address
 

Lets say my physical address is in Michigan.BUT my IP traces back to Miami.

Has Amazon suspended ay of you guys for such differnces?

I don't think they catch you for doing that but I could be wrong

Let me explain how this works:

The locality/address on your IP address COMES FROM YOUR ISP, NOT YOUR REAL ADDRESS. You need a court order to get the address behind any IP address! If your IP address shows up as very close to your real address, it's just because you use a local ISP and is a total coincidence.

Example, my high speed cable registers as within 5 miles of my real address. My Sprint 3G IP usually shows up as a Los Angeles address.

Bottom line, as long as the countries match, don't worry about it!!

Good stuff ovidiu.

My IP for dongle is always Kansas which is over 1000 miles from my real physical address. Never been restricted for it...
