When browsing it often says I'm in Calgary but I'm in Edmonton. How would I fix that?

This hasn't really bothered me before, but as I am trying to look for an apartment on various sites, and it keeps giving me options for Calgary instead of Edmonton I'm finally starting to get fairly annoyed with it. I'm not even at all sure if that is a problem with you guys, or a problem with the building wi-fi as I currently live in a student res. Please let me know if there is any way that i can fix this.

Thanks for your time.
