I am more a fan of continental geolocation accuracy when it comes to IP addresses.

If your static IP address has a reverse name in DNS, it's a short
hop through whois to your actual location.<br>
<br>
Well, usually. It is possible that none of the contact addresses are
where the IP address is located - especially for large
organizations. And there are the whois proxies that obscures your
physical location.<br>
<br>
<p>Still, it's pretty hard to hide. (Even in a Kansas lake.)<br>

Depending on your situation, you may wish to have different accuracy
and/or precision in internal and external LOC records.<br>
<br>
But on the original topic: Contact Maxmind and see if they'll fix
your address. <a

They may require evidence that Comcast has delegated the address to
you.<br>

AFAIK Maxmind et al don't lookup LOC records. That being said if
enough people published LOC records they might start.
For Google you can update the location using a app which uses the
phone's GPS.
