Relevant Online Advertising Program
https://www.verizon.com/support/residential/announcements/direct-digital-marketing
Verizon Relevant Online Advertising program helps make ads you see online more interesting and useful and helps advertisers understand the effectiveness of their ad campaigns. Relevant Online Advertising program does not use information about non-Verizon websites you visits or your precise location. Your postal address is used.
Postal address may be extrapolated from the public IPv4 address assigned to your home router. Each neighborhood distribution hub only assigns IPv4 addresses in a certain pool, so a neighborhood's public IPv4 address is predictable based on this pool.
