Per the FAQ, you're allowed multiple connections at one time.

How many devices can I use at the same time with Cox Hotspots?

With Cox Hotspots, three devices can be attached per user ID and ten per account at a time.

    A hotspot shouldn't be disconnecting you.  Does your PC have other wireless networks to connect if available?  Does your phone act as a local hotspot and the PC connects to it?
