Home internet IP is showing different city
We just received the T-Mobile Home Internet device and we could not get more than 2 bars on any spot in our house, even tried outside the house. We noticed that the IP location is showing Los Angeles...
I'm also in Phoenix, and there's a 5G tower 1000 ft from my house, which is where my HI router usually connects. When they were setting up the tower, I'd see it bounce between a Phx IP and an LA IP. I was told that once the 5G service was fully operational, then I'd see a Phx IP all the time. As far as I can tell, the 5G has been steady for months, but I haven't seen a Phx IP since last summer.
Why did T-Mobile decide to break the internet?
Geo-IP simply does not work with T-Mo Home Internet connections, and it does not even register with them that it’s a problem.
I can see their argument about “privacy” in certain circumstances, but I’d prefer it if they’d let me choose rather than forcing things to look like I live in Compton, California.
Is there a way I can run a VPN that gets me a Phx-based public IP address that won’t slow down my service noticeably?
