Slow Teathering With PinePhone

[kujo_marble]

There are three possibilities that I can think of. One, Verizon is throttling tethering on my "unsupported" device. I doubt this. It hasn't always been that way and I don't know why they'd just throttle tethering without throttling the phone itself. 

I'm really kind of stumped on this one. Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions as to what this might be.

My vote is for you to check your Cell Phone plan. I just ran a hot spot all day with no issues. Cell companies can tell the difference between hot spot data and regular cell data. 

Phone: PinePhone 32G (Not Pro)
OS: Arch Linux Arm with Phosh

So, I've been doing some A/B testing and I'm coming around to the phone plan side of things. If I run my Android phone through a VPN, I get much better performance, so I think it may be some kind of de-prioritizing going on. I've also noticed other problems, as well. The modem isn't discoverable from mmcli, even after I flipped the hardware toggle off and on again. I don't know. It's all really frustrating.
