Comment on I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 months agoThe concept of abusing unlimited data makes no sense.

This might not apply everywhere, but I live in a rural area and actually most of my Internet used is through cell networks. When there are a lot of people in the area for some reason, I’m much more likely to lose service completely for web and calls.
I don’t think that a reliable network is the reason why communications companies are limiting people’s data, I think they’re doing it for profit, but it could be a rationale to do so.

But isn’t limiting an unlimited service a form of false advertising? I’m sure they’d argue that a ToS was signed, but I don’t know that you can legally bind people to accept a false advertisement.

Yeah you don’t have to make that point to me. I’m just saying there could be a legitimate reason to want to make service limits. Obviously, if they really wanted to limit service to prevent network outages, I wouldn’t be getting network outages 😂😭

It’s unlimited data for your phone and not for all the devices you can connect to. I agree with you sentiment. Just trying to point what the companies have in their ToS. I will be glad to hotspot to all my devices from my phone and not pay for WiFi.
