5G Internet Showing Incorrect Location
Recently installed 5G home internet and it won't give me the correct location. Google Maps has no idea where I'm at but more importantly my local channels on FuboTV are not showing up anymore. How do...
Location for T-Mobile's 5G service reflects where the signal from the towers connects to ground based servers and infrastructure. This can sometimes be hundreds of miles away and even further. This is how the service works.
So when I am using my 5G Samsung on T-Mobile I get accurate locations. When using the 5G T-Mobile ISP the location is not accurate. I see that the 5G modem is just a stripped down mobile phone. Why is the location different. Is it because the phone connects with a local server at the tower? and the 5G ISP service is going thru a microwave connection?
