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

    It may be easier to just run a VPN on the phone and route the traffic through it? WireGuard runs on Android. I’ve never tried configuring it to forward data through it though, but it should work.

      I tried that, the carrier could still differentiate it from local traffic (or at least my speed test results were vastly different).

        It’s possible they’ve gotten smarter these days.

        I don’t know how ISPs are allowed to do this when it’s a very obvious violation of net neutrality.

          If I recall correctly, they justify it by claiming they need to do deep packet inspection to balance traffic. There’s a fuzzy line between them needing to optimize their network equipment and respecting privacy, and the rulings seem to favor the former.
