You asked a question and everybody gave you the correct answer. The fact you don't like it and believe something that is patently wrong is not our problem. You're the only time-waster here giving false info based on bad research.
MAC addresses are not sent over the internet, so cannot be used for location purposes. On cable IP addresses are assigned dynamically from a pool. When you plug in a new Superhub (refurbed or brand new) it's allocated a random IP address from that pool. So naturally the location given by geo location databases will be tied to that IP address.
