If the unlimited is for the phone, then it may be illegal to circumvent[1]. Even if not, it's against the terms of service and certainly unethical.

I figured as much. I wish there was a unlimited tethering with the unlimited LTE plan, but with rate limiting. Like limit me to .5-1Mbps on my non-phone devices. I'm not downloading music or videos, or streaming, I just want to browse text websites and code on my MacBook, nothing bandwidth intensive.
Unfortunately even modern webpages are very bandwidth intensive (by LTE standards) compared to what is usually served up to phones.
