Can you elaborate on what you believe they are doing?
The most plausible answer is that some website that has my address that
I volunteered to recieve a service or to buy something, matched my
street address to my IP address and sold the data to an IP gelocation
agregator.

My home IP address is officially registerd to a proxy server in San
Diego. I'm connected via satellite behind the proxy from a very
remote location in northern California, and yet the findme utility
properly identified my actual geographic position. The satellite
service provider has -not- revealed my actual address. ( I checked
with friends in their net ops center.) The data for local.live.com
was purchased from a commercial ip geolocation service who
determined my actual, rural location using undisclosed mechanisms.
