Note: I'm not using any proxy servers/spoofing my ip address.
Hello Lebanese Fellas!
I'm live-chatting an Activision support guy, we're talking about the fact that i'm getting into US Lobbies on COD:Black Ops II; He told me that it shows that my IP Address is located in, and i quote :" Let me start with what I have mentioned a while ago that we can see your location here via your IP, and what I can see here is that you are currently in London, United Kingdom and your ISP is Beyond The Network America"
What?
I would really appreciate if some specialists would help me.
Thank You

Try whatismyipaddress.com for a start, it should show your public IP and location

Maybe he misread it? These guys chat with a few people at once if I'm not mistaken..

I'm pretty sure he didn't, or else i wouldn't have had the issue in the first place.
Really weird, i'm the only one facing it at the moment, like in the whole country.

No this has also happened to me, from Guildwars 2 authentication when loggin in with a new IP, it says that I'm from London, I think it only happens with American servers.

Well a friend of mine with TerraNet as ISP, has a bad connection. Once we test it on speedtest.net it shows London as his location. I think it might be related to the NAT translation. Your ISP is most probably doing this.

Is there a workaround or am i gonna have to deal with this ?

I found something important.
I kept on searching on different websites for my IP, and all of them show my real location using my ip address, so i logged on BOII, Options then pressed Select, and to my surprise my External IP is 63.216.121.*** --> USA,Virginia IP.
Geographical Location is AE, which is probably because my account is UAE.
Now i do remember using the PS3 Proxy Server to download a Battlefield 3 patch, dunno if that may help any of you guys.
Thanks For The Support.
EDIT: It started right after i used PS3 Proxy Server

I used to get my ISP shown as "Beyond The Network America" which also showed my location to be London,U.K based on speedtest.net, however one thing I noticed is that it only happens on IPs starting with 63.xxx
Not sure why this happens, one of my theories is that Ogero is running out of Lebanese IPs so they use international ones lol
A quick fix to this is just to disconnect/reconnect your internet to obtain a new IP, and based on what I've seen, Ogero has 5 ranges:
1- 63.xxx
2- 77.xx
3- 89.xx
4- 94.xx
5- 178.xxx
This is just from my connection, could be other IPs, but so far only the 63.xxx gives you that London location
