Your devices are obviously getting an IP address that is sourced from the St. Louis area.
Note that Verizon does offer a fix for the issue. You can upgrade to their Business plan and get a static IP address which would solve the problem.

It still makes no sense to me to not do it the way I suggested. But whatever. I've dumped them for now, and may not go back. I may miss some Chiefs games but so be it. Push comes to shove, I may reinstate it for the playoffs.
As for the business plan, I didn't know that was an option but I'm assuming it's cost prohibitive. By switching from Mediacom I'm saving around $65 a month and it would be foolish to wipe that out with an upgrade. I might as well go back to Mediacom. But again, thanks for that info.
