I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot. - eviltoast

What is the difference between cellular data being used on my phone and cellular data being used on my notebook? Data is data.

    Especially given:

    • Limited to 15GB
    • Then limited to 128kbps

    The 15GB is going to be variable based on the link speed available. If full 5G, that can be erased with 15 speed tests in a few minutes.

    From there, it’s 128kbps * 3600 (to hours) * 24 (to days) * 30 (to month) = 331,776,000 kilobits -> 41.472GB + the original 15GB -> 56.472GB is the limit each month for “unlimited”, roughly. A hard limited number.

      And some douchebag could come in and say “um, actually, it’s always going to be limited because the internet speed isn’t infinite” as if the 3TB my mobile data is capable of downloading at full speed is at all comparable to the 0.05TB I can get after they rate limit me
