It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone refuses to open one. Everyone responsible for this shit should be fed to alligators locked away in a fucking gulag. We have no rights and live in a corporate plutocracy.

    I’m in the US. I remember being told it was a thing on Verizon. But I’ve used my mobile hotspot many times and never had an issue.

      Us vzw customers are almost all on some version of an “unlimited” package now, which includes hotspotting. If you had one of the lower valued plans, hotspotting can still be expensive. Hitspotting can still push you over your “unlimited” data allowance however, at which point your traffic gets deprioritized aka slow af.
