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.
Funny it shows this issue as being SOLVED because someone answered. "Its just how it is".
We have been using 5G home internet for almost a year now. Works well enough maintaining connection and speed wise for $30 a month. LOCATION is an issue with some streaming services. The IP address changes and so does location along with it as described above. We had YouTube TV and it worked just fine after setup. They clearly use an alternative method to determine location. HULU is broken and their support readily admits it. FUBO works after they set it. I haven't found a way to fix this. Would be best if T-MOBILE fixed it in their 5G cellular router. YouTube TV also worked well on other device when traveling using internet or starlink. I don't think YouTube TV cares. They set the location and that is what is used for Local TV no matter where you are.
