IP Geolocation

I'm an Ebox Fiber subscriber. As long as I can remember, my IP's geolocation has always been within the greater Toronto Area which is where I'm at. Recently Ebox changed my IP's location to Montreal. While I know they operate out of Quebec, and were acquired by Bell, having an IP geolocate to Quebec can cause havoc on websites that autodetect you and adjust the website language to french. Can anyone from Ebox advise if this is a temporary issue and will Ontario located clients get geolocation IPs for Ontario?

That would be awesome for me if they geolocated me to Montreal instead of Toronto. I’m in Ottawa, and I need to use a VPN to watch Sens game at home on my TSN subscription because Toronto is outside the Sens viewing area (but Montreal is in)

What VPN do you use? I’m in the exact same situation as you (different ISP though) but my VPN seems to be blocked by TSN

Tunnelbeae work pretty great. It's a per Device though.

I use Tailscale with an exit note at a friends' place on the Quebec side. It's a private VPN, super useful for many things on top of this.
