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’ve used root or unlocked devices for years and have never had an issue with throttling or a portal. I use a hotspot on my laptop weekly.

      Well it’s different per carrier. Some carriers sell some GB limit for hotspot with their data plans.

        I used ATT for ~ 5 years and then switched to Verizon for ~ 2 years, now I’m on straight talk which is a reseller for Verizon and ATT. Never had an issue using unlocked or rooted hotspots.
