Current location issue

Hi all.

To get to the point, my Hero picks up the wrong current location for all applications, including the weather, homescreen clock (when set to current location) and even Hoccer when set to use my mobile network. When it is set to use WiFi, there is no issue, but when it is set to use the Mobile Network, then it seems to believe that it is in Dubai. I am in South Africa at the moment, and more specifically, Cape Town. Obviously using WiFi, I get the location right down to my suburb.

This leads me to believe that obviously the local tower that my phone uses in the area is a reference to another location on the location servers. Now, I have two questions:

1) Does anybody perhaps know a way to solve this?

2) If there is no direct solution, is there a way to either A) manipulating the phone into reassigning the correct location number if it is getting signal from the tower that puts it in Dubai. In other words, IF tower ID is 452(Tower that gives out Dubai), then SET tower ID to 123(Another tower in the area). :( Is there perhaps a way to loge a fault for whoever controls the location servers to perhaps fix this issue?

Thank you for your help!
