    • @AliciaBurrito

      To respond to the why, this was a couple years ago in college when my dorm internet was 5mbps down and 1 up... shared between two people. As you could have guessed, that wasn't exactly practical. Thankfully T-Mobile service was stellar on campus, and we had a cell tower a mile away so I got speeds of up to 85 down and 40 up and shared with my roommate so we could actually get work done without crippling the connection when someone decided to use Google... or God forbid UA-cam. We routinely used up 2 - 3TB of data per month. I live in my own apartment now with real internet so I obviously don't do this anymore, hah.

      If you are on a prepaid MVNO carrier that buys time/data in bulk lots from AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and/or Verizon then you are limited on your data anyways with some plans as low as 500mb a month, so I can see why in that case they would block tethering so they don't get calls from customers complaining they can't use their phone after a few hours.
      I'm personally on Net10 via AT&T towers, and my mobile data plan limits me to 4GB of 4G LTE data a month then they throttle you down to slower 3G(AT&T 2G towers where shut down end of last year so they can no longer throttle you as bad as they use too unless you go way overboard then they can cut you off totally), and tethering is blocked even on my unlocked Moto G4 with Android 7.0, and when I try it I get a message to call an AT&T to have it enabled on my phone, which I can't because Net10 won't do it, but the plan is cheap, and I'm usually covered with WiFi most places I go in a day as AT&T has free WiFi hotspots for customers in town, along with most other businesses, so I rarely hit my cap anyways in a month unless I'm on vacation at the lake streaming music with my phone since I'm usually the only one who gets signal lol!

      @Pandainapandasuit 4 роки тому +2

      I'll answer it. The set of people that got away with 2Tb a month +/- faked the hotspot connection through there phones data. They like used programming or apps and mabey possibly a rooted/jailbroken phone to use there phones unlimited data but attached the tether to be run through it to look like normal. But the usage wasn't normal, because it was in the terabyte range.. Something like 2-14 tb a month for like 30 people or something. I think it was said that like there were 30 top highest data consumers. I know there wasn't many. But boy were they frickin leachin the bandwidth with there network loading. Odds are it wasn't normal data. They could've been doing anything from bitcoin to hosting there own wifi selling setup... But mabey most likely just something simple like extreme gaming or using it for everything everywhere. Why the need to buy home internet your know? And mabey run everything in there entire house... I assume they just watched shitloads of Netflix and data sucking platforms. Or torrents.... Perhaps. Idk but I do know how they did it and it was through the phones unlim data not the tether. They faked it through the phones data. And there's an article about it, he actually showed the one I read I think. I think it's the popular one... It describes what they did, how and what tmos reaction was. If I remember correct they banned the 30 people or however many. LOL. Odds are they're identified now. Either way tmo knows about it now and prevents it. You can still do it through the apps and what not but if tmo catches you, they'll ban you.

      Oh crap. That's slightly vague. I was thinking thirty. But that makes more sense now. It was like a small Percentage of the network but 3000 people using terabytes is a ALOT.

    I have been using smartphone tethering for years and was one of the primary reason why I bought my first smartphone. I use the portable hotspot function on my smartphones at least once a week. And while my current cellular provider doesn't prohibit tethering on their limited plans, I think that it's bullshit that cellular networks block tethering as if streaming UA-cam on a laptop connected through a phone would put more strain on and use more bandwidth then watching it on the phone itself. It's kind of like if you had a mains water utility that charged one price to pipe water into the kitchen but if you want to have water in the bathroom, that's extra. If I pay for my five, ten, twenty gigabytes of data, I should be able to use it however I want

      To be even safer add an ipv6 as well.

    I can't really understand data limits because they basically don't exist in Finland. Stuff I like about Finland regarding mobile phones/data:
    1. For about 30€/month you can get unlimited LTE data, calls and texts
    2. There are no carrier-locked phones
    3. If you go switch from other carrier you'll usually get about 20% off for your first 6 months/year and your current carrier tries to give you an even better offer so you can save quite a bit by switching carriers (or not switching)

      Think about this the size of the US, vs. size of the Finland, and also the size of the population of the US vs. Finland. That explains a small % of why the US has mobile data limits as there is only so many connections a cell tower can make for an area that it's serving. Also we have greedy ass Mobile carriers, and landline ISP(mainly ISP like Comcast) who refuse to fully upgrade their infrastructure to handle more customers, and an FCC(Federal Communications Corporation) who has been ran for the past decade and 1/2 by nothing but assholes (Tom Wheeler under Obama only caved after a mass amount of the US protested him and his anti net neutrality rules, and the new admin under ajit pai cares less what people think one way or the other long as his pockets are filled with cash from the highest paymasters aka ISP Comcast, AT&T, etc..). So it's not so easy to say one country knows how to do it, and another does not. ;-)

    some prepaid providers in Australia (like optus) forbid tethering, if you have the old unlimited data plan ($2 days)

      unless your like me and live in a shared house with 3 other people and have no control over the internet and have to share 1.5MBs (thats like 0.37MBs per person)
      thats why i have two contracts, one with EE with 50GB of 4G upto 90MBs and my phone giffgaff with unlimited (unlimited but after 6GB limit your speed between 9AM and midnight to 50Kbs)

    • @CommodoreFan64
      @CommodoreFan64 7 років тому +2

      There are still some places where you can't even get a POTS line ran to your house without hassle, like my g/f who lives in the southern part of GA, and her only options for internet are Hugh's Net Satellite(will cost you over $100 a month for capped speeds that can sometimes be worse then dial up), or mobile data so she has a prepaid LTE 4G hotspot for home to use with her, and her daughters Chromebooks, and prepaid 4G on her phone, and both give her 4GB a month of 4G LTE then throttled down to 3G speeds for the rest of the month which is at least usable, so again remember not everyone can get hard lines for highspeed internet because of where they live, and greedy, lazy 1/2 assed ISP companies like Comcast who have monopolies and no compete contracts in many areas of the US, and even Canada.

  • @PhazonBlaxor
    @PhazonBlaxor 7 років тому +3

    I'm using tethering all the time. I don't even have anything else but 4G LTE connection, even at home. Here in Finland we have unlimited everything for real, for around 30 bucks per month, or around 10 bucks per month for unlimited LTE connection only. No limitations, no strings attached, blast with full speed and download all you want all the time anywhere.
    Also, if you decide to get a phone with your plan, you just basically pay it in parts (12, 24 or 36 parts) and there are no other fees added. You pay in the end exactly the same you would if you simply just buy the phone normally, so there is basically no reason not to pay the phone in parts.
    I don't know how you people can live with data caps or without unlimited tethering, must be horrible. :(
