The solution is simple: use your phone’s mobile data on your PC through tethering.

What Is Tethering?

It is usually free, aside from using your data allowance.
It’s also not as fast and reliable as USB tethering.
Here’s how to set it up.
This lets you share the mobile internet connection over a wired connection with your laptop or other devices.
Here’s how to use it.
Thanks to a wired connection, USB tethering typically provides better speeds.
In my tests, I recorded download speeds of 95.39Mbps and upload speeds of 4.66Mbps.
This short-range wireless technology provides sufficient bandwidth to transfer data between your phone and a paired unit.
In our tests, download speeds dropped to just 0.24Mbps, and upload speeds decreased to 0.12Mbps.
USB tethering consumes the least amount of battery power and offers the fastest speeds.
Bluetooth tethering is also battery-friendly but provides really slow internet speeds.
Overall, Wi-Fi tethering remains the most preferred option due to its convenience and ability to connect multiple devices.
