I'm experiencing a weird issue where my phone's internet speed is around 40-50 Mbps, but when I connect my laptop to the phone's hotspot, I'm only getting about 0.1 Mbps. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

It sounds like a driver issue on your laptop. Try updating or reinstalling your network drivers. If you have an Android phone, you could also opt for USB tethering, which often provides a much more stable connection.
Have you checked your hotspot plan with your carrier? Different providers have varying limits on hotspot speeds. For example, I only get 1 GB of fast hotspot data with my plan before my speed gets throttled. But it sounds like yours might not be an issue since you're on an unlimited plan!
I have unlimited data, so I don't think that's the problem.
Yeah, your carrier typically won't differentiate between phone usage and hotspot usage, so it might not be that.
