- nasretdinov 7mo agoI think some (most?) carriers in the US charge for hotspot traffic separately from direct access from the phone (by looking at packet's TTL, it's lower by 1)
- actionfromafar 7mo agoMmm the Freedom of US Enterprise strikes again. Such a stupid billing rule.
- freehorse 7mo agoEven in that case, there are tethering apps that can bypass this issue.
