mobile hotspot speed

Why is my mobile hotspot so much slower than my regular data connection?
Hello all. I'd like to know why my mobile hotspot speeds are so much slower than my regular data connection. I have the old $70 unlimited plan from several years ago, when T-Mobile first started changing things. I have 4G LTE data, and even the mobile hotspot add-on (according to my T-Mobile app) supposedly uses the LTE network and not some slower speed. However, it has been this way for a long time, not just recently. My download speeds when I test it on the phone itself, using the data connection, are decent. The one I just did was 12Mbps. But when I followed that up with a speed test on my PC, using the mobile hotspot, it was 1.33Mbps! Why is this? Does the T-Mobile hotspot throttle your data speeds automatically? I've only used 0.1 GB of my allotment, so I know I haven't gone over. This is pretty terrible. Please help! Thanks, John

Mobile Hotspot is slow, why am I paying for Magenta Max?
My T-Mobile Home Internet is giving me issues, so I tried to use my mobile hotspot on my phone. I haven't used it since I switched to Magenta Max until now. I was surprised when I discovered I could only get download speeds between 5-10 Mbps. I have 8 voice lines and am debating of switching back to Magenta Max because it's just not worth it. Is this normal?
