Re: IP Location issue

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. syaoran, are you saying this is T-Mobile's design and is inherent to the service? I'm apparently being located to a place 700 miles away. It's sort of humorous to get ads for New Mexico businesses on the Roku, but this could be a more serious problem with some websites and services.11Visto4likes0ComentariosRe: Home Internet - I do not recognize a device on my network
You made me look closer: If you've had any device connected even once, it's added to that list. I have the MAC of my PC that I had connected only once via ethernet in the list. It's apparently a historical list, not a current list.7Visto1like0Comentarios
