Save Your Bandwidth! Hot Spot Do's and Don'ts


Just like on your cell phone, when using a “Hot-Spot” Internet device there are data limits for the amount of bandwidth provided in your monthly billing cycle. Once you meet that quota threshold, connectivity is usually slowed down.  This is called “throttling”. 
To avoid throttling, we recommend only using your Hot-Spot for work or school-related activities and limit the use of non-work or non-school related activities (such as Pandora, Netflix, Spotify, etc.). 
For individuals that have been assigned an ESU Hot-Spot, please only use the device for work and school purposes.
