WAN address change on April 1?

I was notified by Amazon and Steam Support that my WAN address had changed and I had to verify that it was correct.  I did several whois searches and it showed that it was a COX server in Lake Geneva, WI US.  I hope that there is no spoofing going on or we are all in deep dodo.

They check your IP? Weird. Easist way to confirm is just to Google "IP address" or try http://www.whatismyip.com/

Don't worry too much about the city and state. Thats called Geotag data, which is the internet equivilnet of Caller ID. However, since IPs change so often, the data is often wrong/old.  For example, some sites say my IP is in Arizona. Heck, some even give coordinates for the middle of the ocean! LOL
