IP Location issue
We are sort of running like a VPN… a 464 tunnel, actually. Just like a VPN, it can drop you out in a completely different area than your physical location.
I am typically “homed” out of Charlotte, NC even though I live in Florence, SC.
As such, my Sling TV wants to give me local content for the Charlotte area. Kinda annoying, but this solution is saving me a substantial amount against Spectrum's standard rates… and I was tired of haggling constantly with them for a little $10 discount here and there just to TRY to keep the cost somewhat reasonable.
Once in a blue moon I will get shot off somewhere in left field. Sometimes a simple reboot resolves it. Have had to do a full power down for a few minutes a couple times though.
While it isn't exactly ideal, it is one of those pros/cons things you sometimes have to deal with if you are trying to save money or otherwise just want to try an alternative option. I miss the ability to open ports properly as well. So far it hasn't been a critical issue, as I am not doing any multiplayer games that REQUIRE it--but if I do get around to that again, I will likely have to go back to Spectrum on their intro rate if TMO doesn't figure out a better way to do dual-stack IP's.
