You have to remember that the ISP might have a physical location if this is a paying customer on a landline, but that's not usually the case. Reverse IP address

You have to remember that the ISP might have a physical location if this is a paying customer on a landline, but that's not usually the case. Reverse IP address location lookups are unreliable as worst and inaccurate at best. That house in Kansas that they mentioned? It's the default "middle of the US" location that is returned when they don't actually know where you are.
