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.

    Definitely a USA thing since Comcast were mentioned.

    Here in New Zealand I have a friend who uses his Mobile hotspot to connect his Xbox to it to play games online at no extra cost from the mobile provider.

      Doesn’t that introduce lag? I remember testing mobile vs wired fibre, it’s about an extra 100ms lag.

        I thought it would but surprisingly he seems to get into matches with a latency of about 80ms which isn’t too bad honestly.

        It still makes me laugh though.
