Re: t-mobile Home Internet - Location Issue
BTW, does Verizon 5G Home have similar problems???????? I'd try it if it was available in my location. This problem is worse than described, at least for me. When browsing to various websites, my location is determined to be one of a number of places. It may be either New Orleans, Orlando, or Jacksonville FL for many shopping sites such asbig box stores, restaurants, and state government service. But various'geo-locators' such as"iplocation.net" show it to beinMobile AL. This causes problems such as inaccurateinventory and pricing, wrong 'near me' lookups, and as others have reported, denial of service because of wrong state! Additionally there are similar problems as reported by others on this thread for sports apps/websites such asESPN, CBS Sports, Fox Sports, NBC Sports, etc. (Although I would appreciate receiving the "wrong" NFL games at times given I have no interest in the chosen local broadcast, the selected city has never been far enough to allow for an more interesting alternative.) All of that and also video streaming and/or television services! Come on T-Mobile! There has to be a solution to this. This is systemic to your network! BTW, none of this makes sense to me. Since this is cell-based network connection, our location should be easilycorrectly determined. After all a cell-phone can be tracked to a physical tower, so surely a fixed location cell-based-gateway could also be tracked to a tower and that location be utilized for all geolocation requests!!!15Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: t-mobile Home Internet - Location Issue

The rep looked at my account and said she noticed some incorrect location information and she suggested re-checking things in a couple of days. I was a bit skeptical but now we are correctly gettting Phoenix content on the Roku TV at last (instead of Los Angeles). I can't say for sure exactly what she found that was incorrect but I would suggest taking the time to give them a call…it just may help! Great - NOT! A "one of" fix is not needed!! This is SYSTEM-wide. Why isn't T-Mobile communicating about this??57Visto1like0Comentarios
