Tethering as main Internet.
If this there is a thread out there like this already i will delete it but i am curious about something. I am moving into a new apartment and internet is 40 bucks a month. Are there anyone out there using tethering with there computer as their main source of online use. I have sprint. If it can be use as as my main source of online i wont even get online and save my 40 bucks a month.

I have Verizon and I have been using the Internet Sharing program as my main internet since late September. I used the stock intshUI that came with the phone and I never received a tethering charge. I flashed to mightROM last week and I still havent noticed any weird changes to my account, everything is still 29.99 no more or less

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 |

Well from everyone reply so far it sounds like I can tether and not worry about paying a seperate internet Fee for 40 dollars a month which would be more than my sero 30 dollars a month. As long as i can get my songs from Limewire I will be fine.

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!
