Wrong location since broadband installation - apps think I am in Scotland, not Wales
Since I had my Sky broadband installed last week I am finding that apps requiring my location (dating apps etc) are saying I'm in Kinross, Scotland, when I'm in Wales. I was blaming my Android phone (which gives the correct location on its home screen weather widget), but the same thing is happening on my iPad, so it must be the broadband?

@jubs15 Switch your hub off for a couple off hours if you are not using it, may help get you closer to home, i'm in the Scotland area but it thinks im a Londoner at present with the IP location assignment, do not really care as it is hitting a good responsive server somewhere that sky have!
