IP Address

I live in Boalsburg, Pa but my signal comes from Philadelphia, Pa.  It has been this way since signup. I have complained to tech support, customer service and in person at T-Mobile stores. I can not get local content or WPSU.  Ads from Philly businesses and politicians, etc. is very annoying. Anyone else having this issue or having any ideas of correcting?

    You could try a VPN service to obtain a location closer to where you are.  IP addresses are assigned where the tower connects to the ground.  Not all towers connect to ground infrastructure.  Your connection is relayed across the network to the closest connection to ground fiber, which is where your IP address is provided.
