It lists the location of the user's registration -- which could very well  
be a lie as they do nothing at all to verify it. AND that has zero  
correlation with where the tunnel actually goes. There in is the  
problem... your tunnel isn't nailed to a physical line ["T1"], or a  
physical device ["cablemodem"]; it's loosely pinned to an IPv4 address. An  
address that can change in an instance. An address that can literally be  
any where.
