hotspot issues

Hey I'm looking for some answers. I have a Mac, I can connect to my Xperia using it's hotspot, but that's where it ends. There is no transfer of data, no Web page will open on the laptop. I'm sure it use to work. I've done searches, tried going through settings on both mobile device and laptop with no help. Anyone able to help me?

You will have to call your service provider, it is their songs you will need to get to make it work.
