That is incorrect... your speed is only as fast as what is available to your phone... which means potentially you could just download 40 gb from a server with your phone... or you could wifi hotspot it and download 40gb from the internet... Why should it matter how we use our internet?

Imagine getting a cable internet connection for your home PC, but your cable provider wants to charge you an extra 20$ bucks if you want to online game with your XBOX with it. It shouldnt matter HOW you use what they are saying is included. Unlimited data is data downloaded to your phone, how can they charge you more just because your phone then passed it on to your PC / laptop?
