(Not quite - I don't currently, for example!) Having a smartphone
doesn't give your laptop access, though, unless you configure the 'phone
as a hotspot, which (a) many users wouldn't know how to do, (b) maybe
some smartphones can't be [I don't know], (c) the service provider may
prohibit it, (d) the speed might not be as good as a home broadband one.

Well, I presume the two - though entirely separate - shared the
"bandwidth" available from a home broadband connection; I don't imagine
the provider paid for a higher-speed connection. The maximum speed they
promised their home customer might be a little lower?>
