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.
Yeah, but carriers can see that it’s hotspot traffic for 2 reasons: packet time to live is different on computers and android (and AOSP) snitches you out. So they throttle it or send you to a captive portal.
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.
