Okay, it looks like the Tmo sniffers automatically found out I was wifi tethering. I checked my account and it listed 23.1MB/100MB under Hotspot Usage. However, I just tested it again while using a VPN and that seemed to work for the most part. I did some quick web browsing and the usage is still listed at 23.1MB/100MB while my normal Data count increased instead.
For Tmo users facing the same problem or MetroPCS uses who are suffering with instant reroutes to upgrade on every webpage they visit, try using a VPN and see if that works. I would suggest trying the free versions or free trails to test it out.
