[Q] Lost Tethering

Until last week I have tethered away happily on my rooted, s-off'd M8 running ViperOne 4.3.0 (Android 5.0.1 with unlimited data), this week I noticed that I am seemingly unable to tether any longer. It will show that my hotspot is activated but only if the stars align will anything connect to it and when it does it runs slower than dial-up and then informs me that I'm offline. I've tried installing various tether apps but they all seem to pose the same difficulties. Not to mention if I do get the hotspot enabled most often my tablet (my main tethering options) doesn't even see my SSID (it isn't hidden). I've tried removing my the encryption and doing an open network but still the same.

I've verified that in my system/customize/acc file that the tethering is set to 0. Even tried replacing the default.xml file to no avail.

Any ideas?
