OK, so let me get this straight. If I connected my smartphone to my laptop, and used the smartphone to download a 1 GB file, and then transferred it to the PC over a USB cable, that would count against a 21 GB limit. But if I downloaded the file directly on the PC instead using the same connection, that would count against a different 7 GB limit, even though the same amount of data is being transferred in the same way across the same network?
I can't wrap my head around this. How could it possibly matter which device is using the bandwidth?
