SMARTY plans allow you to hotspot. 
The 5G works well when handset not acting as a hotspot?
What handset have you and your Mum got @PaulYat_1373305

Yes the 5G works well when not using phone as a hotspot but as soon as I try to use my phone as a hotspot things start going wrong, my phone is a Samsung galaxy a90 5G and my mums is a Xiaomi Redmi 10 5G

Hey @PaulYat_1373305 

I would like to let you know that when using a hotspot, it is common it will affect the level of service you receive. 

If you are connecting straight to a modem then your service would work as normal as modems are designed to handle more than one connection. You are connecting to a phone which is connecting to a modem which mean the level of service is spread between 2 devices which causes delays in the service. 

Although you are on 5G, it is normal for your connection to slow down if you are sharing your data with another device. 

I hope this helps!😊
