I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot.
What is the difference between cellular data being used on my phone and cellular data being used on my notebook? Data is data.

I've read somewhere that USB tethering bypasses this very easily.
Is easytether still a thing? That app saved my butt several times.
I'm not sure tbh, my ISP doesn't throttle my speed or data when used as a hotspot, luckily, so I didn't have to look into it for a long time.
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.
