IP Location issue

I use fuboTV and using T-mobile home internet they will not provide you a local IP address, so a service like fubo will check your public IP to determine where you are, so I am getting local channels.

I contact the support they say that I need to speak with fubo, and that is not the case. fubo has an api to check what is your IP address that is api.fubo.tv/v3/location the same they use in their code to check your location and my IP returns not on my region,

But I am a point I can’t spectrum anymore, for local channel I am getting VHF/UHF/HD 4K antenna to at least get the local channels.

I would prefer that the support is more direct and honest and just say we don't provide local IP addresses, but for the price of internet and fubo TV it is enough a good reason for me to drop the spectrum monopoly. I try so hard with spectrum to try to make the price of TV+internet the same as t-mobile plus fubo, but that was an even impossible task, I lost my hope and patience.

If wasn't for the issue of local IP, I was going to be 100% satisfied with t-mobile hoem internet, but I hope they fix it at some point. On the mean time an antenna is coming my way.

 

Same here with fubo tv.  I call T-Mobile they tell me it's a fubo or ruko issue.  The customer service rep I got told me they have no issues with this and have never got complaints.  I told them we'll check your website because there are many complaints.  I hope they find a solution.  I guess I need to get an antenna too.  My husband almost lost it one Sunday when he couldn't get the Steeler game.  Thank goodness it was being streamed on Amazon or heck I was ready to pack my bags and move.  Lol.
