Just a heads up, buddy. I flashed TWRP via Odin (from our root thread) and then flashed the Omega v1.2 ROM for the International S5 (there's a thread here for it, I can link you if need be). Hotspot works fine out of the box!
Plus, you can also have the pleasure of saying you tried the first custom ROM for the S5. Everything appears to be working as well, so I'm gonna stick with this. No CIQ, no Knox, Hotspot is a go.... I'm a happy camper now!

Correct. Once you hit your limit on the account they throttle you. I blow through 19GB average a month and the 5GB limit really upsets the Kid in the backseat when all she gets from Netflix on the iPad is <Buffering>
There was a fix with the S3 that avoided the throttle bottleneck.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll wait a few weeks to make sure there are no issues with the international one before I jump.

I'm only set for 2.5gb a month, but I'm on a business account also. I tether all the time and go way past the 2.5 most months, they throttle me down. What your saying is that they won't be able to monitor the Hotspot?

Have you all tried Wifi Tether Experimental. I'm not sure if that requires a custom kernel or if it will work with stock.

Someone will make a rom with Unrestricted Native Tethering + Evade Data Cap Throttle + MORE! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2057344
Then you get free Tethering from data lte not Hotspot data

I have been using WiFI Tether Router for a long while now. It gives you unrestricted tethering. Make sure to read the instructions for T-Mobile phones on the developers Web page. https://sites.google.com/site/wifitetherrouter/home/device-configuration it works great as long as you are rooted. I use about 120GB a month with 2 AT&T phones tethering off of me at work. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter

First your phone needs to be rooted, and then you need to have ES File Explorer installed on your phone. You can use ES File Explorer to edit the file in the system folder.
1. Open ES File Explorer
2. Pull up the Menu for it (hold down the multitask button for that)
3. Tap on Tools
4. Turn on Root Explorer
5. Tap on Root Explorer on the left side and go to Mount R/W
6. Make sure all of the settings are set to RW, tap OK
7. At the top of ES File Explorer tap / that should take you to the root of the phone,
Now go to System, CSC, and open customer.xml
When you click on the file it opens it up in read only, you have to hit the menu in the top right corner to edit the file.
Be very careful and only change the things below. I would make a back up of the file and place it somewhere you know you can find it. What you are going to change is in bold.
<ProfileName>T-Mobile US LTE</
ProfileName>
<Auth>none</Auth>
<MTUSize>1440</MTUSize>
<Bearer>ps</Bearer>
<Protocol>http</Protocol>
<IpVersion>ipv4</IpVersion> --------------------------- Change to ipv4

<Profile>
<NetworkName>T-Mobile</NetworkName>
<Editable>yes</Editable> -------------------Change to yes
<EnableStatus>enable</EnableStatus>
<ProfileName>T-Mobile MMS LTE<
View attachment 2691810
Save the changes and reboot
Once you are restarted navigate to where the APN's are. System Settings, More Networks, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names. Once you are there click on the top right corner and tap Reset to Default. That should update the APN, you can now go in and verify that under T-Mobile US LTE the APN protocol is now set to ipv4. If the change didn’t pull over you should be able to edit it and change it to ipv4;
These are the Wifi Tether Router Settings from the developer below. Make sure that your WiFi is turned on before you start the app.
For Samsung Galaxy S5 using this config
Interface wlan0
Method 3 - HostApd
Encryption wpa2-psk
Channel 1
Drivers nl80211
"HostApd Patch" <- UNCHECKED
"No Firmware Reload" <- UNCHECKE

You need to install a User Agent add on so you can change it on your computer. I use it all day long on my laptop with out the up sale page popping up.
This is the one i use for Chrome - User-Agent Switcher for Chrome
