Seems a bit young to be masterminding a covert marketing campaign though. Might just be a coincidence but there’s an Alicia Fortunato on Facebook listed in Buffalo, NY.

It could be that their headquarters are in Horsham and so that's the address they decided to put in the whois database. They have a list of dial-up numbers on their site which seems to cover every state in America which indicates that they're nation-wide. As for the lag, it depends on how their network is set up.

I don't know. America is a big place. Would someone in Buffalo have a Horsham server? Wouldn't that give Alicia some badass lag?

It does not necessarily follow that "she" is located there. Horsham, PA is the address of her ISP who own the IP (or rather, block of IPs) you performed a whois on.
