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.
Not just living in the US. I’m thinking they’re on some legacy plan where just using mobile hotspots were extra.
On my kind of old t-mobile plan, I can use hotspot. And when I was a grandfathered Verizon plan I could use it too. Same with the MVNO I played around with a few months ago.
There are limits though, which is BS. But just using it to get through a temporary residential internet outage is included in a lot of plans in the US.
