Incorrect Location

  1. When I am connected to my WIFI and I am using a site that shows my zipcode, it is never correct. Is this something that needs to be corrected? If so how do I do this? Also, I am thinking about getting a streaming service such as HULU< YOUTUBETV FUBO etc, if I do this do I use the zip code that it automatically puts in, or should I change it to the correct zip code? So many questions about this and not sure if I should continue to ignore it and correct it or just leave it alone. 
  • From what I've read is you will need a VPN since wireless internet doesn't have a fixed IP address.

    I live in the Phoenix area and Google search sees me in the Tustin, CA on my phones internet.

  • The address you see is the location T Mobile aggregates their signal and connects to the internet.  It can even move around.  YouTubeTV can deal with this, as it lets you manually select a location.  Other services like Hulu TV have a problem with it….for those you will need a VPN that allows you to set an address.
