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.

Perhaps just a specific network? I can hotspot without issues on 2degrees.

Can't edit, but you are right 2 degrees specifically list Hotspotting included as a benefit of their plans

Maybe it's just the high limit plans.

When we travelled there in 2022 and needed to work remote, there was no plan over 50gb that didn't charge a huge amount to allow hotspots. Not sure about lower data plans though as we didn't look at them
