I have a Android cell phone with unlimited data. It is quite fast and I can watch youtube with no issue. Can I use it to get internet for my daughter's tablet or my laptop? If yes, how can I set it up?
i think tethering/hotspot is no longer a big deal on most cell-fones. many cell-fones put arbitrary restriction on it since 4g was a fairly new resource and cell-fone companies put pressure on manufacturers to limit access to it so they can sell that functionality as a premium and limit internet throughput consumption.
these days most fones are fairly easy to root and bypass that restriction and most carriers no longer care.
Most carriers do not allow you to use your phone as a hotspot without adding it to your plan. It is bundled with some plans, however... but not unlimited.
Ah man, that sucks! Verizon must have made a deal with the devil (the cable company).
The grandfathered plans are pre-Verizon.
