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.

    Is this an American thing I’m too European to understand.

    Are you really paying to just activate wifi hotspot? How is thst justifiable by any means?

      In the US, anything that can be sold, will be.

      How is any of the crap they and isps in general do justifiable? Charging overages for data?? I guess I missed the part where they have a big ol data tank they are supplying us from that might run dry… It’s all fucking horseshit. You either have the infrastructure to provide the speeds you’ve promised to every customer you’ve promised it to, or you don’t. Get out of my ass, Cox.

      Not American, but funny enough from what I’ve seen, apparently it’s a thing. For my service it’s usually been assumed with no extra fees. But I bought an ESim for Europe and I did notice that while shopping around, probably 1/5 companies had mentioned something about no hotspot/tethering allowed without paying an extra fee.

      Where I’m from our Teleco plans are truly shit but I guess we have that over the Americans.
