ATT Air IP Location - can I change it if it's in a different state?

While it's annoying to do an internet search for a "local food near me" and get hit on Renton, WA and I am in San Jose, Ca - I am going bananas because I have HULU Stream and it's streaming Seattle news and stations.  

Can I change my IP location using ATT Air to a SF area station or is it just something I have to live with?

You don't have any control.  It might change to Maine tomorrow.  Or Florida.  And then be Omaha next week.  Your IP address on Internet Air is not fixed.  IP Geolocation is not provided by AT&T, but by some third party service that's doing nothing more than guessing... badly.

Why offer a phone number for assistance when the AIA product is working as designed. The OP is literally getting exactly what the product is built to do.  Don't feign a solution when none can be given.

Seems to me I guess I get what I pay for. I was looking for a less expensive Internet and I have to decide if I want to listen to whatever news I get through my Hulu Live/Stream.

I was literally getting ripped off by Xfinity paying a ton per month for not bundling.  

Nothing is ever easy, is it? Thanks to you you guys that we’re honest, I appreciate it!

Just as a follow up to this for the ATT persons that told me to call, I did.  After spending over an hour on the phone, I was told that I needed to contact HULU to resolve the issue.  This means, that nothing could be done about it on your end, so there is no resolution.

I am cancelling the Air today, I spent way too much time (and money now) to address the issue.  I went back to my old internet provider yesterday and I am curently watching KGO TV in San Franciso on my Hulu Live.  

You are really doing your customers a dis-service with not warning them.  The man I eventually spoke with said he has dealt with this before so it's a known issue.
