Windows 8 Metered Network and Lumia 920

[ithinkurdumb]

I've just noticed that Windows 8 lets you set a connection as metered or non-metered. I've been Wi-Fi tethering with my 920 on my laptop for months, and never seen this option. Until very recently I noticed on my Surface Pro, the option "set as metered/non-metered connection" is available.

Has anyone experienced this issue? Is there a way to force the connection being treated as non-metered?

It is NOT an issue, your connection could be metered if your connection provider is limiting the data you use. In case there are no such limitations you can set or unset that
here is a simple way to do it

The thing is, if I right-click on the tethering connection, there's no "Set as metered connection" nor "Set as non-metered connection" (though Windows 8 is treating it as a metered one as confirmed by Outlook and SkyDrive). However, when I use Surface to connect to the same mobile hotspot (by 920), the option is there.
