Phone Tethering

[Goku1814]

I'm currently moving and didn't want to pay the internet bill BC I would be moving to a new house and would have to pay it again. So right im using my phone data, to tether to my computer to get internet but the speed is barely over 1-2 Megabytes yet my phone has speeds around 10 to 20 Megabytes, so why is my computer internet slower? I'm using USB 3.0

Is it faster if you use wireless?

My computer doesn't wifi. Only Ethernet

Are there any bandwidth caps on your computer or perhaps on the hotspot itself

What do u mean? I have it plugged into a 3.0 port which is capable of 5 gigbit per second way more than what my phone could make

Its a known fact that cellular providers in the US can and will throttle hotspot/teathering traffic. Most providers have a small amount of data you can use Thethered before they throttle. T Mobile for instance is like 20 Gigs. Cellular providers don't intend on you using hotspot or Teathering for Home Internet. Its just how it is.

There is some aps, that can fool isp so they dont know you use data as hot spots.

Ummmmm.... They will figure it out. When you start pulling down a TB or more data they will figure it out and throttle you or kick you off the service. They have done it before.
