What is the difference between cellular data being used on my phone and cellular data being used on my notebook? Data is data.

    This is why I love Google Fi. I go anywhere on earth, and I have coverage. Unlimited everything. Never worry about nothing, ever, and has carrier bonding for when you’re really out there.

      Google Fi will throttle you after you hit a limit depending on your plan. I unknowingly hit mine after using my phone for a hotspot, watching a few hours of soccer and I think Windows downloaded a bunch of updates too. It was towards the beginning of the billing cycle so the rest of the month really sucked. Might want to double check your plan.

      This is the Unlimited Plus plan. Their Simply Unlimited plan throttles you after 5 GB of hotspot usage, but phone data is unlimited.

          I never claimed you did. I just clarified which plan you were on, and added how their other plan works. This could be nice for others to know. I don’t know why you’d take that as a personal attack, but I certainly didn’t intend it as one.
