More Log-in Experiments:
I am located at Sahara and Sloan, 1.5 mile east of Sahara and Nellis. But my IP address shows up over 10 miles away in Henderson. I left my phone at home and took another road trip with just my laptop.
McDonald's at Charleston and Sloan, 1.4 miles north. The wifi IP address shows up at Bonanza and Eastern(about 5 mile away), UP Log-in Verified Location
Starbucks in same shopping center. Wifi IP address locates the same. UP Log-in Verified Location
Starbucks at Sahara and Nellis, The wifi IP address shows up as generic USA in the middle of Kansas, UP Log-in Failed To Verify NV Location
McDonalds at Vegas Valley and Nellis(2 miles from home), The wifi IP address shows up as generic USA in the middle of Kansas, UP Log-in Failed To Verify NV Location
The phone never moved from my house! The cell towers certainly did not move! The only thing that changed was the IP address I was attempting to log in from.
I am sure that the UP people think I am crazy at this point(they may be right). Anybody else, with a non Verizon phone, who is having problems(and even people who are not) go to:

and prove me wrong.
Later today I am going to have someone take my phone to Henderson while I attempt to log in from home. I'll report back.
