So I'm guessing if you got dinged $1000 for data, they can bring it down to $75-100 for one-time. ($500 -> $25-50, etc)

Damn telus, hopefully this fix will be permanant cause I don't wanna go through all that again and prob pay a couple grand next time.

They now have tethering included plans but I'm not gonna give up my $50 student plan for that...
id get legal on them before i payed a bill that large.

Telus included there tethering app in there usb to pc pop up. its easy to select by accident and the Wmodem app falls to the back drop after a few seconds so this could be an easy mistake even on the stock rom.... not only this. the sales reps didn't inform there customers of the risk of this mistake.
