Re: Tethering as main Internet.

I've been tethering my phone to use Internet for the last 2 months and it seems to work OK. I'm on Verizon and if I get incoming calls or texts, it drops the connection which is frustrating but manageable. I'm on a tight budget so if the inconvenience means saving 50 bucks a month, I can live with that. I checked my download speed at dslreports.com and I'm not happy that I'm only getting .66 megabits per second download. Can't remember what the upload speed was, but it was a lot less. I'm using MightyROM's latest so if anyone can suggest any changes I can make to improve my download speeds, let me know.

Re: Tethering as main Internet.

If you want to be able to download FAST, watch video and etc... tethering wont be very fast.. .. Its about the same as the SLOWEST DSL (at least around here).. I tether when needed but still have comcast for my internet because I have 3 internet phone lines, etc and also NEED the fast speed ....

Im sorry, I was referring to the price of my data plan which is 29.99. Yes I download albums and 600MB avi's from blogs, the whole 9

Even when I had AT&T I used my LG Incite, it ran Windows mobile 6.1 and it had the internet sharing program also. I used this as the main connection do online gaming with my PS3, I bridged the connection with my laptop and it worked perfectly with killzone 2....I miss a GSM carrier because a phone call wouldnt stop my online play but verizon with the cdma will completely pause my connection durring the game and I will eventually be kicked off when the call stops...that sucks, so if I want to play online with my PS3 I need a real ISP
How are you able to tether your touch pro2 to work with the PS3. I cant seem to find a way (wired or wireless) to play off my phones connection. I would love to know how you did it!

Re: Tethering as main Internet.

Connections
-PC to PS3 via ethernet
-TP2 to PC via USB

Start the Internet Sharing program and connect through USB.

Once you are connected go to control panel click "Network and Sharing Center"

Under Tasks, go to "Manage Network Connections"

Then locate the TP2's Internet Connection & the PC to PS3 connection, highlight both of them, right click and select Bridge.

It should bridge the connections and your good to go.

Hope you have Vista, if you have a different OS the steps should be similar

Re: Tethering as main Internet.

Most I've used is about 4gb/month. Thats streaming some tv, downloading lots of roms and web browsing. pdanet's been great. Saving some cash in these tough times.

So far the most I've used is 14GB. I'm in college for most of the day and when I get home I might do some casual browsing or downloading before bed and on the weekends
