Abstract
Example implementations relate to data connection switching. In some examples, a mobile computing device may include a memory resource comprising executable instructions to determine when a metric of a data connection of the first mobile computing device through an access point has exceeded a threshold. The mobile computing device may include a memory resource comprising executable instructions to instruct, responsive to the determination, a second mobile computing device to initiate an operation as a mobile hotspot. The mobile computing device may include a memory resource comprising executable instructions to switch from the data connection through the access point to a data connection through the mobile hotspot of the second mobile computing device.
