Re: Tethering as main Internet.

I tethered for about 4 months with my TP for sprint. As long as you have unlimited data plan its fine to use w/o getting surplus charges. I am a pc gamer, I noticed once I would get texts/calls/e-mail updates it would start to lag in a game. It would work fine when its not in any other type of use. I enjoyed using it for surfing but downloading songs not so much it can take as much as 5-10 minutes for one song with 3G service. Not to mention if you have a windows update on your pc it takes 3-4 hours for a 45MB download lol... Now imagine if you got in a intense texting convo... it could take a day to download a windows update for your pc. None the less its cheap, good for surfing the web.... not as much for gaming, and multimedia downloads... I gave in about 2 months ago, I had to get cable internet for gaming!
