Hotspot fee?? Never heard of that one before!
In Australia, Aldi mobile gives unlimited calls and sms and 120 gigabytes of downloads for A$49 a month prepaid and operates on the Telstra network.
It seems the USA is paying too much for too little. Why would a mobile ISP restrict downloads or make you pay extra to hotspot your phone?? It's a wonder they have any customers.

Besides T-Mobile 5G Home Internet we have two mobile lines with hotspots. Live in the U.S. and don't pay anything extra to use the hotspots and each line allows for 20GB of hotspot usage then it is throttled which they do let you know about up front. T-Mobile 5G Home where I am is throttled after 1.4TB and I can accept those terms for $30 +fees/taxes a month for home internet. I also have an old grandfathered "unlimited" Verizon line/jetpack I refuse to cancel for obvious reasons.

It is very true; USA internet providers are reaming their customers left and right for very slow speeds. There is also the low limit of data consumption allowed monthly during downloads before they get throttled or stopped. There are no moving parts, it is beyond me that we are in 2025 soon, and still treating stuff like it is 2005, when speeds were just starting to pick up a bit. Imagine being on a cable modem that got 500 Kbps speeds.
They were the good days

Kindof how the DLS is set up.
Storage costs very little, but pushing bits around can get costly really fast. jointedrail.com alone moves over 6TB a month. When you want to have many users on the same structure you have to divvy it up somehow.
It is my suspicion that Netflix is too fast and is returning Acknowledgements before N3V is ready to process them.
N3V thus sees theACK as an :interruption" as per the error message.
Comcast is much slower and thus has no such issues. I have canceled my Comcast service due to serious security issues.
Now I need to report this but Support dos not recognize "download speed" as a legitimate reporting subject. They always assume the subject to be other problems with downloads and offer a series of fixes not relevant to my problem. I hate to spend more money for a VPN I have no use for, other than slower speed.
