My account is being seen in a country that is not my own

Hi,

I live in Ireland (Republic of Ireland) and I use Sky broadband which is a UK based IP provider who also sells it services in Ireland. I just recently moved from Dublin to the west of Ireland and subscribed to Sky, and since then, when I play Tiberian Alliances and try to buy funds, it tells me my country is not the correct one in my profile and I must use UK as my country as shown in the following error:

LOCATION ERROR

The current location setting in your Origin™ profile does not match your Actual Location. To proceed, please click ACCEPT to fix your location setting.

 
 

Your current location setting:

Ireland

Your actual location setting:

United Kingdom

I've done a  IP search on mine and found the following:
