Don't tell the people who are convicted / took a plea deal based on "Telco location" this.

As you can tell from your experiment, these locations are... rough to say it nicely. This is truly helpful for the investigating party, since their counterparts are not aware and they can move / interpret your device's location to that point they would like you to be. The accuracy is however... not so great as they will present it to you / the judge.
