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

    The ISP shouldn’t care what kind of traffic is going through the network and show it down by type. It should be neutral to it

      Right… they can still impose data caps. They’ll just do the cap at the plan level, like most already do. OPs just on a cheap plan.

      They can care about what device they’re providing internet to. Net neutrality is about where content is coming from.

        They provide internet to the phone. What the phone does with it (e.g. provide a hotspot), is another story.
