My location shows Bend Oregon, I have Centurylink DSL, but when I use the locator sites posted elsewhere on here, it shows I am in Portland, close enough

My location on my computer and phone show Bend Oregon, but when I run 

 http://whatismyipaddress.com/
 http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/network-location/

Both show I am in Portland, Oregon, which is close, I am across the river in Vancouver, WA. I don't know why it shows Bend, never been close to there and the ipaddress sites have always shown me in Portland. My region setting is Current Region. 

Google maps knows where I am on both my computer and my phone.

Hey there, can you try to open the same page that you are having issues with in a different browser? It is more likely that those problems are actually related to how your ISP assigns IP addresses.
