I'm going to have to try this. My Comcast IPv6 address locates
to New York instead of Silicon Valley.

I may have mentioned this point before, but allow me to throw a

When Aereo launched I noticed they were using geo-ip-restrictions,
limiting subscribers to designated geographic areas.
So for shits and giggles I set up a VM in one of their areas, port
bounced my local home network, and circumvented their system.
Apparently their geo-ip lookup is fairly amateur and doesn't take into
account IP blocks assigned to AWS, Joyent, RS, etc.
So what are the legal implications for them if I am able to sign up
for their service in Virginia when I reside in.. California?
Amusing to say the least.
