this is already well documented from my understanding. jio was blocking 5g dongles and restricting speeds on hotspots. there has always been restrictions on using mobile internet as regular broadband for your computers i think.

If not unlimited, how much data can we consume via Hotspot, I couldn't locate this details anywhere.
Some amount of data (4-5 GB per day) should be allowed via Hotspot.

Few weeks back, I was trying to download 13 GB ISO file using Mobile Hotspot. Downloading stopped exactly after 5 GB of file was downloaded.
I have Postpaid connection, but back then there was no unlimited data option, rather I had 250-300 GB data balance.

it consumes your allocated data from the plan iirc. i guess there might be a daily limit to stop you from consuming your monthly/yearly data pack? mobile companies have always disliked hotspots. they really should offer 5g dongles with plans for them officially. not sure if they do already.

I have seen vi reduce speeds significantly it it detects hotspot usage

Jio would stop connecting to 5G and use LTE under such

"Shall not be allowed" seems more just like a standard T&C than an enforcement. I'll test this today; let's see what the damage is.

When was airtel 5G unlimited or for that matter VI? I have never used Airtel and will continue on my path. This will be their final nail to their cofin

Airtel doesn't block Hotspot usage at all. It's just there in TnC for the sake of it. But it's only 300GB of usage so it can act like a backup for Broadband or working on the go.
