Does anyone know if Spark prepaid limits the speed of data when tethering and if tethered data uses your regular data cap?

Looking at getting the $79 unlimited mins/data (40GB) plan for a month while I'm remote/mobile working. I mostly use RDP and have a unlocked iPhone 11 I'll hotspot or USB connect to my laptop.

You can hotspot on the prepaid plan, tethered use comes out of your data allowance like normal data usage

edit: misinterpreted the bit where you were asking about tethering speed - to the best of my knowledge it remains full speed when within your 40GB full speed limit

Thanks! Will give it a go.
