Not entirely my experience. Sometimes it is a location about 7km away, sometimes about 2km away. A few weeks ago it pointed exactly to a large building I was visiting. Used cellid's do change every now and then, even if you are not on the move.

If you really think your cell tower coordinates are incorrect, you could report it at http://www.opencellid.org. Providers keep there celltower locations secret, the information is purely bases on community input.
