Slowness of your computer has nothing to do with your IP address. If your computer is acting slow or behave abnormal, you may have spyware or virus on your computer. Getting an IP address that shows remote location (Utah) does not slow down your computer, or cause it to act abnormal. As ISPs servicing multiple cities, they may allocate their IP address how ever they desire, and this may cause location of IP address to be incorrectly shown. This does not mean you're sharing this IP address with someone else, as you've just assigned a new IP address and your old IP address may have been assigned to a new person in Utah. When you disconnect from your ISP and reconnect to the Internet, you're getting a new IP address from your Internet Service Provider and this IP address may or may not be the same as previously assigned. Chances are that you're getting your IP address dynamically from your Service Provider whom may be servicing multiple areas. One of the user is telling us his IP address used to be 64.3.x.y in Dallas and now it's 67.72.x.y located in Utah (per ip lookup) and hence his IP address is stolen, and his computer is running very slow and acting abnormal.įor a non-computer person, this may sound like a user's IP address has been hacked but in reality your IP address cannot be hacked. Many readers of our website are contacting us for help on *allegedly* hacked IP address, and remedies for getting it back.
