Why is my mobile hotspot so much slower than my regular data connection?
Hello all. I'd like to know why my mobile hotspot speeds are so much slower than my regular data connection. I have the old $70 unlimited plan from several years ago, when T-Mobile first started ...
There were a bunch of Simple Choice plans that you could choose from and not all of them included that. I'd recommend contacting us over the phone or Facebook/Twitter so we can look at your account and let you know exactly what's going on.
Some carriers do throttle hotspot, and/or limit the speed. Not sure if Verizon does, but I know T-Mobile does depending on your plan. The devices can also be a source of the problem, and of course the fact that it's a wireless connection can be an issue.
