Part 5/10:
Hotspot functionality is available for both plans, but with differences:
Unlimited plan users experience no speed restrictions on hotspot, but tethering speed is capped at 600 Kbps.
Pay-by-the-gig plan users have no speed restrictions beyond LTE limits but are limited to 600 Kbps as well when tethering.
While streaming on hotspots is possible, expect buffering and lower quality at this speed. For critical streaming or work, a Wi-Fi connection remains preferable.
Video Streaming Quality: Plan-Dependent
Video quality varies depending on your plan:
Buy-the-gig plan defaults to HD (720p) streaming.
Unlimited plan defaults to standard resolution (480p), which may not satisfy all users.
