   Anyone have any hacks that actually work? I pay good money to not be throttled!

   how much is your phone bill and why don't you just use cable or dsl? i use a discontinued t-mobile smartphone plan and put the sim card in a stand-alone cellular modem/wifi router and typically use around 200-250gig/mo on it with no issue but its about 85/mo per line.
   
   i would probably start by keeping your plan and trying the pdanet app. it's available in playstore for around 5 or 10 bucks and lets you connect your lappy via usb, bluetooth, or wifi and has abilities to circumvent some of the more basic carrier hotspot detection. its pretty cheap and worth a shot if you have a hotspot data cap and not just an overall usage data cap
   
   you can buy sim cards for plans like i have or grandfathered verizon unlimited data plans and they will transfer the billing into your name but i don't think any of them are gonna be cheap 30 bucks a month type of things.
   
   but unless you live in the woods or are a transient why not just get cable or dsl

   you could try tunneling traffic through ICMP, in most cases that traffic doesn't get counted toward limits but it's not ideal

   I live in the woods as you said. No internet is installed in this area which is mind-blowing in 2020. I have metro and everything month I call them and say my voicemail isn't working and they reset it but that also resets the data so I get an extra 15gbs from that. But only 30 total for the month which isn't enough. They will only reset once a month too so isn't something I can continually use.

   Why isn't it ideal? Discuss.

   it's connectionless/stateless like UDP, which makes it very unreliable for data transmission that's more than a few bytes. there are going to be a lot of resends which will impact speeds and responsiveness

   Originally posted by blaster master Yo, so I'm on an "unlimited data" plan from metro pcs with 15gbs of hotspot. With this program called PDANet I can bypass my hotspot and use 150+ gbs a month on a wifi direct tether.

   
   Will you be able to use the hotspot for other devices? Help a brother out.
