Root [Sprint/Cricket] Question for Wifi Tether users

[DragonSlayer95]

Hey guys

So I've recently started using the built in hacked sprint hotspot (wifi tether), I've used it for occasional browsing, downloading a few things for the new laptop.

My question here, does it eat up alot of data comparing it to usb tethering? According to my data usage via settings, I've used nearly 1gig in tethering within 2 days.

Could this be right since what I downloaded is totaled around 100mb if that with no streaming.

Chances the nearly 1 gig via tethering could be wrong?

Depends on what os the computer uses. It's completely possible you used more than you thought

It's also possible that that reading is simply wrong

Hoping the reading is wrong as I've heard stories of people getting booted off sprint for using amounts of data like that being tethered without the tether plan.
