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.

    Are you trying to connect up to a computer? Look up “USB tethering” in your settings - you should be able to plug your phone into your computer through a USB port and share its data connection no problem. If you’re only using one device, it’s actually better than a mobile hotspot. You can also do it over Bluetooth if for some reason you want lower bandwidth. YMMV as I’m across the pond, but I get stats from my telecom company about my usage and it doesn’t list anything USB tethered as hotspot related so I think it should go under your company’s radar.

    But also like, what the absolute fuck man? How? Why?

      Bluetooth tethering is also not allowed and my phone charger doesn’t fit into my computer.
