Not anymore. Now you have to change the packet time-to-live on your PC to match it for your phone, and that's not fullproof. Google put code into the OS to snitch you out.
Degoogled os
I've got a 100% degoogled OS and they still detect it. To make it not get throttled I have to go into my linux system and change the packet TTL, make sure my browser metadata like it's user agent doesn't give away that it's not mobile, and you have to do some hackery in android to keep the OS from snitching you out, I don't remember what I did because I don't tether anymore, but I played the arms race on this for many years, it was my main internet connection for a long time.
jesus. im glad i dont have to do that, as we dont have wifi where i live
Carriers have always been able to tell you were doing it. I used to get calls from AT&T everytime I tried to do it.
what’d they say to you?
To stop using it or they would automatically upgrade my plan to one that includes tethering (which at the time, would have taken away my grandfathered in unlimited data)
wouldn’t expect anything different! man the carriers must have really hated the grandfathered unlimited people lmao
also, just fuck at$t
edit: though thinking back now i would use my hotspot like a maniac on my HTC Inspire and Galaxy S4 and somehow i never had any issues. i’m talking torrenting hundreds of GBs a month lmao
