It's my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we're paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone refuses to open one. Everyone responsible for this shit should be ~~fed to alligators~~ locked away in a fucking gulag. We have no rights and live in a corporate plutocracy.

Ah if you need it for work then teams/skype/zoom work calls will quickly burn through the 5GB. I'm not sure who the comments about bitching are directed to

The OP complaining about their mobile provider not having free tethering. Like brother, you knew that when you signed up for the service (or you should have if it was an important thing you needed). It's not meant to replace a home internet connection. If you need a sizeable amount of hotspot, don't skimp on your mobile plan.

Like I can understand being annoyed that you have to pay more for it but it shouldn't be a surprise that you don't have access to it. Learn what you're paying for before you sign up for it. If your internet goes out and you need to rely on it, it shouldn't come as a surprise that you don't have it.

Don't assume companies are going to do what's best for you. They won't. They will try to screw you over. So, understand what services you're paying for and if they don't meet your requirements, find something else. I'm not defending the companies but you should know what you're paying for.
