I use the hotspot on my phone as well to connect my laptop to internet.
It's easy enough turning on the hotspot but I always forget what to do in the laptop.
Usually hsve to ring my son in law.

Are you using the Teltra's 3g or 4g network. As the 3g will be slower .

Telstra hot-spot covers a wide range of situations. What equipment was providing the signal for your computer? Some people refer to something like this as a Telstra hot-spot. These rely upon the same mobile telephone signals as the mobile dongle you have been using. As they use the same signals the hot-spots will slow down just the same as your dongle did.

Purchased the dongle from. JB a couple of years ago it is mobile and picks up telstra network.
Have been using hot spot off my phone for the last few days much quicker
