Ctv Website Thinks I 'm Not In Canada...

[jeffopentax]

We recently switched from Bell to Primus for internet service. When my wife tries to watch shows on ctv.ca, it says we are in the wrong geo region. Never an issue when we were using bell. Is this a Primus issue, or possibly the $20 wireless router we bought? I've not had a chance to try without the router since the cable is on the opposite side of the house (unplugging and moving the computer is such a pita!).

Any Chance you have changed your IP Address to be able to watch American Netflix?

with my service (vMedia) I could not go wireless on the tv, had to connect with the cable (hmia or what ever its called) and went wireless on the computer..

Weird. Pretty sure all the IP address ranges that they use are listed in Canada. You can go to https://www.whatismyip.com/ and it will tell you your external IP address and location of that IP. Update after you check that out.

Agreed.
Should tell you exactly where you are.

Ok. Can someone explain how this can be?

Lol. There is your answer. My IP isn't code to where I live, but at least it is in Canada. You will have to call them to get it sorted if possible. On the plus side, Amy US sites that wouldn't work before will work now

Seems strange this can be legal (maybe it isn't), given all the region restrictions. If primus can't fix it, they better let me out of my 2 year contract!

Weird thing is that when I look at your ip it shows brantford Canada. Something is wierd for sure

I did remove your attachment. I should have said not to show your IP.

I wonder if this router is doing something crazy. Guess i'll have to try connecting directly to modem.

Haha apparently it's a magic ip so I'm not concerned!

For some reason, the ctv website videos now work without a problem, and my ip address now comes up as being in canada. Never got around to calling primus to ask "wtf?", so no idea what was going on!
