I use around 300 GB average a month using my phone. I would like to install home internet but they offer mediocre speeds for the price.

[@AnTran-ie7vq]

Meme Wizard Really ? $150 for 250GB a month ?? Is that ADSL or fiber ?

[@AliciaBurrito]

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 KZbin. 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.

[@anujgupta3397]

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]

[@random67839]

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

[@PhazonBlaxor]

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.

[@TheWolfHowling]

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 KZbin 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

[@anotherstupidchannel777]

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

[@oliverjepp3113]

Click bait KZbin vid, works, still informative though

[@Pandainapandasuit]

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.

[@Pandainapandasuit]

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.

How scummy can ISPs be in America? Like WTF blocking tethering??

[@BrianFurios]

Murmeli In Italy Vodafone blocks tethering as well

[@CommodoreFan64]

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!

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

[@slicedpineapple1992]

Uumas8 I agree, Finland knows how to carrier

[@medokn99]

wat

[@CommodoreFan64]

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. ;-)

[@UrielSuarezElectro]

Well, Finland has a population under six million and your major cities are mostly under 500k and so close in distance to each other.

[@CommodoreFan64]

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.

[@PhazonBlaxor]

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. :(

I played the arms global test punch on hotspot while in a car. It worked pretty well. The alternative was missing the test punch.

USB tethering is better if you're using it for one device, since you can still use wifi on your phone if your PC can't use wifi for some reason.

I'm a smart phone debutant. A lot of really good info here for me - thanks!

In Australia we have hugely expensive and extremely crap services. One arena we are very behind the world

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.

0:41 "Which *effectively* turns your phone into a WiFi personal hot spot." > Proceeds to explain how to enable *literally* personal hot spot in iOS. (emphasis mine) Also (*laughing in European*) your ISPs and carriers are dickweeds. Disabling or setting different rates for tethering.

[@serialexperimentsdave7213]

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

That holster goes well with socks and sandals

2TB a month??? Jeez... I could only do max 400GB a month with "stolen" 3G data from my corrier... Got banned from using mobile data afterwards tho... totally worth it!

[@enriquecabezuela8696]

if you have unlimited data does it also include the hotspot as unlimited???

PdaNet is the only app I've ever purchased and it's WELL worth the cost

[@crazymatt2685]

Perhaps a Techquicky on roaming data would be useful :)

[@seantraynor6493]

That subtle finger move at the end there... I saw it Linus.

[@RedMambaYard]

Thanks for the interesting video! Do you think it is possibile to use an ethernet tethering from phone to notebook? (of course, using a usb-c / ethernet adapter...)

[@dato02]

Bluetooth isn't a bad option actually. even tho you get less speed and you can only share your connection with one person, it uses lot less energy then wifi. for chatting and browsing even for media consumption it's pretty good option for battery economy.

[@oldtwins]

Real-world is about 2-3 mbps. Plenty fast even for 720p streaming. Gets choppy at 1080p. Indeed, just regular web page browsing is perfectly fine.

[@dato02]

oldtwins i just use that mostly when i know ill need battery 😋
