anybody else does this?

my iphone hotspot is hooked up to my macbook for about 1 1/2 years now

How much data u spend on avg in a month? Been thinking about doing this with 100 mega

That seems like such a bleak existence

My friend stopped paying her wifi bill & uses her bf's phone as hotspot for everything. It makes simple s*** like playing music on youtube unnecessarily slow. If we put something on netflix we basically have to wait for the entire movie to buffer first. It made me lowkey hate going over their house.

Hotspot is convenient when you're on the go and just need basic browsing capabilities.

Idk why but the WiFi on my phone is so slow. On my PS4 or PC it’s nice, it’s only slow on my phone, so I just use data at home

Doesn’t your s*** throttle after like 20GB?

what does that mean? (srs)

its costs 26 euros for Tele2 unlimited data in the netherlands. unless u mean how much data i use

*data since 20 Dec 2017

i use a usb connection hotspot. i have no lagging issues like ur describing

In America, unlimited data typically entails the network slowing down your speed after you use so much. I believe there are exceptions.

oh no thank god. none of that happens over here. i abuse the data like crazy

That sounds awful

I currently do this too, and done for a few years. I have a small mobile hotspot device with its own SIM-card but it’s connected to my current phone bill and phone data plan which has unlimited data. Not the best we can get but my fam been moving a lot and bringing a mobile hotspot with us was much easier than getting new internet contracts with binding periods and all that jazz. Not as good as fiber but it’s more practical for us right now.

how far away are we from this s*** being as free as air or water

That's what Elon Musk is trying to accomplish with his Starlink satellite system

will that affect your battery?

used to happen with tmobile here in nl but it stopped i think

yup its at 82% capacity. but dont see a better alternative till wireless usb connectivity comes along

seperate mobile hotspot device hmmmm.... so u pay for 2 phone bills? or do u swap out the sim card every day? im intrigued. this might be better cuz im slowly killing my battery

i had t mobile like 4 years ago with a samsung galaxy s7 but tele2 had a better deal for unlimited data

i was thinking of getting tmobile bc they have like the discount bc ill have home tmobile fiber too soon

i live in a student building with s***ty shared internet, thats why im using my phone data

oh. can it cause damage?

my provider doesnt allow those mobile hotspots, so i guess this is it for me

nope apparently its normal after 2 years to get 80% of use. im exactly on 2 years. bought the iphone x in december 2017

kewl..👌🏿
