Help Phone forcing User-Agent

When using the Wifi Hotspot, or PDANet, or FoxFi, or Wifi Router my phone is simply overriding the User-Agent of my desktop/laptops browsers with one of my phones. Even using a plugin to change my user-agent on my desktop does no good accept when set to Opera. The only User-Agent it lets me set too, but this limits the functionality of most websites, as does being forced into a mobile view.

Does anyone have any idea what is causing this on the LGM631 LG G Stylo? This wasn't a issue until they gave my a "Complimentary Top Up" on my Already Unlimited 60 Plan. I get it, they don't want tethering but I am a Road Warrior and am forced to this lifestyle.
