When you tether from your phone . . . unless that's the only thing you are using the phone for . . . it's impossible to know how much of your data usage is coming from the "hot spot/tether" bucket and how much was other usage.
Only the "hot spot/tether" data usage counts toward the 10GB. Remember that "hot spot" refers to both an independent physical hotspot (like a jetpack) or when the phone's hot spot feature is being used by another device.
Since Verizon doesn't separate the usage on a phone, it's hard to know how much data usage was applied to each "bucket".
I have had the new unlimited plan for a few months now. I also tether my Iphone and have not been throttled. And the phone DOES show exactly how much data was used for tethering and how much data was used by the phone for 'all else'. This info is a function of the phone - not Verizon.
That's great news for phones that have that feature!
