I just moved and sadly my ADSL2 Is a quarter of the speed of my old house. until we get fiber in march i will be tethering most of the time. my provider gave me an extra 30gb for $5 a month so now i have 60gb.
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.
Meme Wizard oh gosh $150 a month? that's too much.. I got 100mbps up/down unlimited for $10 a month...for $150 my entire neighbourhood can get a high speed unlimited connection[not all neighbours though]
In Finland we have this thing called "Cheap unlimited Internet". Nearly every carrier offers unlimited data for LTE/4G+, that means no data limits. Speed is up to 300Mb/s. 300Mb/s mobile network is starting just for 29,90€/ month
Or for the unlimited 4G connection only at around 10€ per month. I have one alongside with my main 4G plan, just so I don't have to tether the connection from my phone all the time when I'm at home. But yeah, we have pretty damn fantastic mobile connections here. Also no locked phones, the deals are actually fair Ja sitten vielä pakollinen torilla tavataan.
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 SHOOT. NO I WAS WRONG. LOL. 3000 techcrunch.com/2015/08/31/t-mobile-doesnt-like-customers-who-use-2000gb-of-data-per-month/ 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.
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!
+James Mathis It's more Ajit Pai's greedy ass fault then Trump's as it seems the big ISP companies like Comcast, Verizon have Pai in their pockets, and Trump just seems to not understand the whole Net Neutrality deal to start with. I'm not defending Trump on this by any means as he put Pai in as the head of the FCC, but we can't put all the fault for this disaster on one person.
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
Open command prompt as administrator and type: netsh int ipv4 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65 Press enter. To be even safer add an ipv6 as well. netsh int ipv6 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65 Press enter. You're done and have unlimited tethering via your mobile device that your carrier won't even detect. Probably won't even know if you don't use a VPN
"Your data speeds might be far worse than what you're used to" - I wish I didn't have connect to my data at home because it is faster than my home internet speeds.
+MeatSafeMurderer I agree, but most people don't have Nougat 7.0 or 7.1 yet, or even Marshmallow. I know a lot of people stuck on KitKat or lower, and don't even care enough to upgrade because the phone was cheap. personally I have a Moto G4 with Nougat 7.0
+Commodorefan64 i've been on KitKat for 2.5 Years now.... never had a problem Samsung Released Lollipop For my phone but KK runs better on low powered phones so i'll never update as long as apps still support KK
Thanks for this. I had no idea why my PC's internet was so slow when using mobile hotspot, but internet was fast on the actual mobile device hosting the hotspot. I'm not sure if this is the exact answer, but it's a good hint
Armand Bernard PDA Net with FoxFi will NOT work on newer Android OS. My understanding is Samsung Galaxy S6 and earlier will only work with PDA net. So maybe that's why
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) Niin ja ennen ku ehitte kommentoida niin joo torilla tavataan
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. ;-)
Also, I would recommend changing the name of your AP form default "AndroidAP" to something more unique, since creating AP will fail if there is another AP with same SSID.

[VIDEO REQUEST] Hi! Could you make a video about how to charge your battery, specifically your phone battery. Should you empty it completely before charging. How often should you charge? Etc... Think this would make a great video! Cheers!
LOL. I do this all day at school. My classmates consume all my mobile data within a week, but I don't use it anyway. I think I should start charging for it, heh. I am impressed at how the signal reaches the whole building, and it seems like people can't stop using their cells all day. My password is password btw. Heheh.
It's not me the one who pays my plan, and we need it at school to work and stuff. There's nothing wrong with being nice and sharing Internet connection.
neonlent I live in Loudoun County (the richest county in the US(shameless self promoting I know but shhhhhh)) and it's because they don't let us use our phones anyways so in case anyone tries to be sneaky... but on the contrary they have free wifi (however you need a vpn to access social medias)
my phone company, messed up on my data plan. I used all my high speed data. but one week later my tethering became unlimited. I've downloaded 30 gigabytes of demos on my xbox & downloaded music on my other phone.lol win!!
2 terabytes per month!? What did these people do, stream 4K video all day long, every day? If you've got a family of five and they're all using your cellular wi-ft hotspot, it's time to get a home connection.
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)
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.
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. :(
PhazonBlaxor yup I use PdaNet/foxfi to avoid Hotspot caps sometimes is a little shitty and it can get slow I live in kinda like a rural area so speeds aren't that good my carrier told me that capacity upgrades are coming in September 2018 let see what happens
here is my tethering story: I was building a new gaming PC but didn't have a WiFi card so I got impatient and tethered my cell phone. I had my cell phone connected to my homes WiFi, and i checked to make sure it was using my WiFi and not mobile data, so then I started downloading all my Adobe software. After about 6GB of downloading I realized my cell phone switched to mobile data, and I have a 100MB plane. $300 over data limit charge, imagine the WiFi card i could have gotten for that.

I live in Ireland and I'm on a plan that has "All You Can Eat Data, which Is 4G as well. I'm supposed to be Restricted After 60 GB as per the T&Cs but after being on my mobile provider for over 2 years, never once was I restricted. They apparently don't allow tethering, yet they block tethering on their phones. On Average, I'd say I use over 250GB per month on Data, which is pretty crazy!!
I like setting up a hotspot with a nearby business' name and running a little script a friend made for me that disables internet access every 25 seconds. Hilarious when they ask the business to reset the wifi
I was one of those T-Mobile customers leeching free data through custom Phone OS. Dragged from the top down for the settings and saw hotspot button. Pressed it and it worked when it wasnt even available to me in my phone plan
Am I only one who was looking for information on how to share your internet connection with your laptop at the fastest speed possible and instead watched tunnelbear add?
yeah but most of time the speed isn't the problem, it's the data limit. using a mobile hotspot is no different from using cellular data because it is cellular data. cellular data is basically the modern equivalent of packs of aa batteries that you chew through while you're playing your gameboy or rocking your boombox outside. they're both expensive af and meant to be use on the go.
The bit about T-Mobile getting mad about data consumption, all I picked up from it is that they can provide terabytes of data with no cost to their business outside of charging outrageous prices.
Sadly, my home internet is slower than my mobile internet.
same. Mobile internet is the future of the internet

Julian it's the S3 (running jelly Bean) since that's how the settings looked on there. Jelly Bean without TouchWiz looks different
Yeah, that's what I was trying to point out. Only the S3 had TouchWiz with Jelly Bean on that screen size.
samtherat6 I have an s3 running jellybean. It is. Though couldn't it possibly be a note 2 ?
best channel we want more about tech
please use up to date android/touchwiz screenshots. nice video
Daniel // pixelFlow my Galaxy S8+ ;)
Daniel // pixelFlow anyone with Samsung handset... I prefer the Sony's ui, it's lighter, and more elegant
my phone company, messed up on my data plan. I used all my high speed data. but one week later my tethering became unlimited. I've downloaded 30 gigabytes of demos on my xbox & downloaded music on my other phone.lol win!!
the fact that I've been using this the past 6 says xD
Days? Lel
That moment when you see this video because you are don't know wth "Tethering" is... and you are actually using it! (00:40)
Who is watching with their mobile hotspot.
Linus' hands are always grabbing the viewer and pulling them in
ISPs as fast as posible pls
That holster goes well with socks and sandals
2 terabytes per month!? What did these people do, stream 4K video all day long, every day? If you've got a family of five and they're all using your cellular wi-ft hotspot, it's time to get a home connection.
cgraham6 that's exactly what I was thinking. Now because they were stupid they lost their privilege
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)
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.
Commodorefan64 thankfully we don't seem to have that issue here in the UK where isps are idiots well not that I have experienced anyways
D-Tronics UK In some remote parts of the country, 4G can be a lot quicker than BT's offering.
OUTSTANDING! Even the ad 4 apps was entertaining and informative.
DO YOU HAVE FREEDOM MOBILE / WIND Linus?!
If I go on UA-cam and search IT I see this guy on any video.
linus you are great
I am surprised that Ting was not the sponsor for this one, with their tethering policy and all.
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. :(
PhazonBlaxor yup I use PdaNet/foxfi to avoid Hotspot caps sometimes is a little shitty and it can get slow I live in kinda like a rural area so speeds aren't that good my carrier told me that capacity upgrades are coming in September 2018 let see what happens
this was absolutely NO HELP making my tethering faster.
What version of Android is that??
Carlin Ngai looks like jellybean or kitkat
video suggestion: what electronic devices are safe to use during a thunderstorm
Ones that aren't plugged in (assuming you're indoors.) The same goes for landline phones.
update your Android Screenshots
here is my tethering story: I was building a new gaming PC but didn't have a WiFi card so I got impatient and tethered my cell phone. I had my cell phone connected to my homes WiFi, and i checked to make sure it was using my WiFi and not mobile data, so then I started downloading all my Adobe software. After about 6GB of downloading I realized my cell phone switched to mobile data, and I have a 100MB plane. $300 over data limit charge, imagine the WiFi card i could have gotten for that.
Open command prompt as administrator and type:
netsh int ipv4 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65
Press enter.
To be even safer add an ipv6 as well.
netsh int ipv6 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65
Press enter. You're done and have unlimited tethering via your mobile device that your carrier won't even detect. Probably won't even know if you don't use a VPN
Pdanet is the best
It is I just wish it was faster I don't even get 1mb
I live in Ireland and I'm on a plan that has "All You Can Eat Data, which Is 4G as well. I'm supposed to be Restricted After 60 GB as per the T&Cs but after being on my mobile provider for over 2 years, never once was I restricted. They apparently don't allow tethering, yet they block tethering on their phones. On Average, I'd say I use over 250GB per month on Data, which is pretty crazy!!
Why are you promoting apple products
my car gives off WiFi I name it funny things all the time 😂
Is that the S3 he's using to represent Android? Why? at least use the s6
Javian Brown I know right
Jansel Kenneth Tolentino plus he even has an s8
Techquickie became way quicker today
HELOU WE ARE ELISA MISSIONAARES FROM FINLAND
WITH ELISA SAUNALAHTI YOU BASICALLY GET UNLIMITED EVERYTHING
Tru rho
Thanks. That details about tethering are very useful.
Explaining Tethering in 2017.
SMH
I knew as soon as he started explaining what tethering is ...this video was not going to solve my problem
Great vid.
Finally early to something
That subtle finger move at the end there... I saw it Linus.

As far as I know, you can't show dislikes.
Portable batteries are the new dorky phone holders
Chutia
I like setting up a hotspot with a nearby business' name and running a little script a friend made for me that disables internet access every 25 seconds. Hilarious when they ask the business to reset the wifi
I'm a smart phone debutant. A lot of really good info here for me - thanks!
Why isn't tethering more popular
I was one of those T-Mobile customers leeching free data through custom Phone OS. Dragged from the top down for the settings and saw hotspot button. Pressed it and it worked when it wasnt even available to me in my phone plan
Am I only one who was looking for information on how to share your internet connection with your laptop at the fastest speed possible and instead watched tunnelbear add?
2012 called, she wants her Android OS back...
Never know how basic or complex Techquickie is going to be...
i had a ad that linus was in it lmfao
Perhaps a Techquicky on roaming data would be useful :)
Watched on tethered connection for maximum awesomeness.
I am tethering to watch this video
yeah but most of time the speed isn't the problem, it's the data limit. using a mobile hotspot is no different from using cellular data because it is cellular data.
cellular data is basically the modern equivalent of packs of aa batteries that you chew through while you're playing your gameboy or rocking your boombox outside. they're both expensive af and meant to be use on the go.
Man, I love hotspots.
The bit about T-Mobile getting mad about data consumption, all I picked up from it is that they can provide terabytes of data with no cost to their business outside of charging outrageous prices.
Ok i was just going to watch and move on but i really needed that hug lol
Really Linus... This was relevant in 2008.
This guy sounds like he's doing a Sonic impression
I watched this video on my laptop, which is tethered to my Nexus 6P. We can't get wired internet at our house, and this is the best option.
