I live in Nebraska.? Wondering why they would do this; running the Android app SpeedTest (by SpeedTest.net), the servers in Tennessee are only giving me ~300kbps download, whereas with a closer server, say Kansas, it's over 900kbps down.

If anyone knows Verizon's reasoning for assigning me an IP in Tennessee that's ~1/3 as fast as something closer, I'd be much obliged. (I've restarted the connection several times, and everytime it's the same IP.)
