Tethering via mobile is not advised.

It's not thruth. I have 2 mb/s and game is laging on the beging as hell. When i look up on my task manager game is taking all my internet usage, its look like IN GAME download system ... This is kind of a joke from developer who write that bad functionality ... In other games i dont have that issue (for example in COD 4 or CS:GO or in Overwatch, all the time my ping is stable and internet usage is not heigher than 0,3 - 0,4 mb/s) - maybe because there devs are thinking ... I dont know but this "IN GAME" download is the stupid think i ever seen and for me and other ppl with low internet speed, game is unplayable.
My internet runs at about 2mbit download and 1mbit upload w/ 80-100 ping and the game still refuses to work on my internet.
This video provides an analysis of the current netcode implementation of Apex. I know I've seen it brought up here before, but some others may not have seen it.
The entire video is worth a watch, but below are some key timestamps everyone should be aware of. The last point being directly related to your question, @nemanjagag191, as well as your issue @ididntrushb.
1:44 - Data Center Selection Process
2:58 - Server and Client Send Rates
5:09 - Bandwidth Usage

MBit is not a megabyte. your connection 2mbit = 125kb x 2 = 250 KB a second which is about half of the required bandwidth for the game.
2 mb is terrible you will need 10mb 4g connection to play 50 ping means yr just close to the server ..this game eats DATA like no thing i have seen before
but is your answer per day or week or month?
i am using my mobile data for playing apex, on playing for 30min my whole data of 1.2 GB was finished, from your answer i don't think this is supposed to happen. Can i know what is taking this much data?
- This is definitely not supposed to happen, are you sure your PS didn't download a game update while you were playing?
As I stated before, after moving out of town 2+ years ago I had to go to 4G or quit playing. I noticed very little/no difference in gameplay vs my old 100/20 up/down cable connection. I haven't ever come close to my 15 GB monthly hotspot limit unless I was downloading update files/installs for games.
7 days in this month I have used 1.7 GB of data. I have played Apex at least 4 nights (maybe 5) of the cycle playing at least 3-4 hours at a time if not more.
- Thanks
I THINK YE LYING EA this game uses 4 times more then any other game that has more players per server then Apex .you must thing people are stupid ..
While its HD quality downloading.....Will it be slow to duos or trios
