If you said, "Hungh, What limits?", yeah, Me too.
I have a N4 that tethers A LOT. It's a BYOD.
So this morning at about the middle of my billing cycle , I get the following text message from The Mothership.
"You have approx 10% of your Mobile Hotspot left. For More MetroPCS Mobile Hotspot data add another $5 Hotspot Top Up today! See www.metropcs/terms"
<North Ga Mountain accent> What the F, Over? <North Ga Mountain accent/>
So of course, I waded into the TOS. All 582 pages of it. <eyerool> The first tidbit is there indeed appears to be a tether limit for unlimited data users and it's a new one, just made in June. 6 G's and your tether goes to 128 Mps. I don't even think you can load a webpage with just 128 Mps.
Seems a pretty good chance I'll exceed the limit this month. I Always tether a lot more than 6G's.
Strangely enough, a pretty thorough search yields squat on whatever this "$5 Hotspot Top Up" is. Another 6G to tether for $5 wouldn't suck too bad.
I can't get too terribly upset for several reasons.
I have used a horrendously incredible amount of data for $60 a month. Every month. Trust Me!(tm) I have More than gotten my money's worth. I would have paid Beelyun's from any other carrier. Yes, Tethering ISN'T *Supposed* to allow you to use your phone as your only data source. 6 G's is more LTE tether than from any other carrier.
I am somewhat curious though as for some crazy reason, the Date part of my N4 data usage meter has spazzed out. It's showing the data for the year 2072. Damn phones are amazing aren't they.
If they enforce it, I won't be thrilled but I wouldn't really have a leg to stand on to complain. (A somewhat unlikely occurrence for me. )
