T-Mobile internet service "drifting"
Hi, I’ve had t-mobile internet for a week and several times I have had to call HULU because the internet was showing I was in another state. Has anyone else had this issue? I was told by the rep at H...
I use a couple of internet resources to find where the IP actually is. If I goto whatismyipaddress.com and find the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses it reports both. You can run the “my IP” 4-5 times you will see various IPv4 addresses reported. I usually see 4-5 and it seems to report the same one after a few different ones. The whatismyipaddress site tells me Nashville but going to ipinfo.io and using the search for the IP I discover that is NOT actually the location where that IPv4 address resides.
If you copy the IPv4 address and then navigate to ipinfo.io and use the search box to find where that IPv4 address resides it will tell you the city/state. I am in east TN, east of Knoxville and the rotating IPv4 addresses I find associated with my external IP are in Atlanta, GA actually. So, yes the IP address can be seen in a location/state different from the one you live in.
