Not happy with service
100% my fault for not reading the new plan I signed for, but just found out that my hotspot from the phone is rare limited to 600kpbs while the unlimited on my cell phone is at 5g speeds. My plan with US Cellular dropped me to 4g when I went over the data limit, hotspot and phone included.
I am just flabbergasted by the notion that my cell phone gets 5G speeds, but when I connect a device to my cell phone to use the internet that is streaming through my cell phone, I am rate limited to 600 kilobits per second.
I am not the most tech savvy person, but I don't understand how my carrier is able to limit the modem inside my phone from providing the same speeds that it is downloading from the towers. Nor do I fully understand the distinction from a consumer's point of view other than the willful desire from greedy overlords at tmobile trying to suck every last nickel from me by putting a paywall in front of 'features'.
Very disappointed, cancelled and have just switched to google Fi. I was with Us Cellular since the early 2000s. It was great while it lasted.
