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.

Each home router has a MAC address and all they need to do is assign that MAC address and static IP that is assign to that tower.
I have worked in IT / networking for 30 years, so them saying it can’t be done is BS and frustrating.
1000 percent this. They could even tie the "address" you are required to use to sign up, to the Mac Address of the Gateway, and use that for proper geolocation. It's literally a line of code.
