I can't get fibre in my area and am in the middle of switching providers and am currently without normal broadband, so I've just connected it to my TV/netflix via my hotspot and it's working seamlessly!</P><P>I was just wondering if this would be viable as a full time option or is there a cap on how much data you can use via the hotspot option? I've used it previously with a couple of phones connected over the course of a week on holiday and didn't have any issues or extra charges, but if I was to use this as my main source of internet for connecting the TV to Netflix/streaming services and use browsing the internet on one of two devices (mobile and iPad) at that same time am I likely to experience buffering or slow service and will I be charged extra for using it in this way?</P><P>Any help much appreciated <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:">😊</span></P> Sun, 08 Jun 2025 17:03:26 GMT Dcm1991 2025-06-08T17:03:26Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Mobile-Data/5g-unlimited-hotspot-usage/m-p/1539727#M159896 <P>Hi all,&nbsp;</P><P>I'm on a 5g unlimited data plan and I just wondered does this include using it as a hotspot full time instead of normal standard broadband?

However there is a 600GB pm FUP for personal use on all unlimited data plans however you use them..</SPAN></P> Sun, 08 Jun 2025 17:30:39 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Mobile-Data/5g-unlimited-hotspot-usage/m-p/1539731#M159897 XRaySpeX 2025-06-08T17:30:39Z
