Ironically, downloading huge items is easy to do without tethering.
And video streaming, probably most people's biggest bandwidth use, fits very well on phones.
Does anyone offer a tethering plan that's rate limited but not data limited?
Okay, 600kbps is acceptable. Beats a lot of networks. Things are improving since I last checked.
Though with how happily and loudly they've made 1.5Mbps video excluded from data caps, it would be better if the throttled speed was at least 1.5Mbps.
Verizon after 60GB is 600kbps on 5G/4G but up to 3Mbps on UWB. Pretty reasonable IMO. It’s AT&T that’s the holdout, 128k regardless of plan, after 60GB.

T-Mobile in the US; they give you a set amount of high-speed tethering based on your plan, then it rate limits severely until the end of the billing cycle unless you upgrade your plan or buy a a pack of data.
