In the US it’s typical to have to pay extra for hotspot privilege. There are ways around this by obfuscating the IP of downstreat devices, but by default the android “hotspot” feature places nice with carriers and will even fail to start if it isn’t authorized.
I think the logic would be that it’s easier to use more data on a computer and while using multiple devices. On my phone I sometimes get full speeds while tethered, and sometimes get half a Mbps.
Do any cell phone plans allow for unlimited Hotspot data? That’s my largest issue with doing that, I use more than 50GB every single month.
Huh
Maybe it’s different in other countries, but why would there be a different allowance for tethered/hotspot data?
Surely unlimited means unlimited and it makes no difference whether the ones and zeros go to a phone or something connected to it?
I’ve never had any problems

Yes but they’re like $60 a month
