Incorrect Location for my IP

Noticed the other day that my WAN IP had changed.  Unfortunately this IP address is associated with VM in Glasgow but I am in Peterborough (322 miles between them).  It is a pain as I now have to listen to adverts that are Glasgow orientated, not that I have anything against the Scottish.

How long will VM take to update the online database for this IP?  Or do I need to request VM to do it?

    It will take a long time but as long as you are listed in the UK everything should be fine like playing BBC iplayer.

    VM with subnets here there and everywhere its hard for Location systems to be then updated there dose not seem to be a system in place that updates them within 24hr of the ISP subnet a block else where where more IP's are needed.
