What is the difference between cellular data being used on my phone and cellular data being used on my notebook? Data is data.

    Does it? Interesting. I’ll have to try that. I wonder why?

      There used to be other ways to bypass it as well, like PDAnet, rooting, flashing custom OSes, etc.

      From what I heard is that a phone used as USB tether identifies as a modem on the computer, and then the traffic is somehow detected differently. I haven’t tested this personally though since my ISP doesn’t cap or throttle me when using hotpsots.
