There's something wrong with my BSNL connection these days as my location shifts to England. When I am chatting with my friend on FB, it shows that I am in England. When I google search anything(like a cell phone), it shows price in punds. LOL HELP!

My BSNL BB has constantly showing my address at about 300km away from my location.

Probably as BSNL have moved to a new IP range and location metrics of sites still haven't updated their data.

Happened with me too when I first logged in to my Wnet account (forgot the country name which was displayed)
Its the temporary problem with ISP server

I jut want an opinion or valuable suggestions of sort.

My BSNL Broadband network (Plan : BBG Combo ULD 1445) is showing location as Kolkata correctly onto my desktop across all OS(Windows 7 & Linux OS...)

Whereas in case of me DELL Inspiron 14 5447 Laptop, under Linux Mint-17.1(64-bit) OS, location is again correctly shown as Kolkata.
But in Windows-8.1(64-bit) OS, location within "Yahoo" webpage is shown as "Hong Kong"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it a problem with the Windows-8.1 OR the DELL Inspiron 14 5447 notebook itself???
