How do you get a lat long for your IP? The only info I can find points
to my Internet provider rather than myself. Some of the locations
provided are hundreds of miles from here.

See the user reported accuracy chart near the bottom of the page.
Notice that about 15% of those reporting show locations 1000+ km off.
From my house, I show some obscure location in the hills about 15
miles away. From my office, about 6 miles off. If you're using
satellite internet (Exede, HughesNet, etc), give up now, the
geolocation software often returns non-routeable IP's or the location
of the ground station or gateway. Basically, IP location is useless
unless augmented with GPS and a decent location database.

I have no experience with 4G+ yet, so I have no clue how that works.
However, if you know the tower ID and it's location, you can at least
determine the general area.

Crowd-sourced location databases are not perfect, but sometimes work
as long as users are not contributing intentionally erronious data.
