Re: I pay $30/month for internet - should I cancel and get the Evo 4G???

Ill play Devils Advicate:

i have a TP2 and (3) TP1s... i use anywhere from 80GBs-100GBs on average a month..

the speed handles Netflix via XBOX360 just fine.. even better on my Laptop... the load time is not great by any means, but once the movie starts youll be good as long as you have good signal... if you dont, netflix readjusts claiming "bandwidth" has slowed and youll get a shitty pic quality, or maybe even bumped out of your movie and have to reload from there or the beinging again...

obviously if im using this much data, im doing other things as well... takes about 2-3hrs for a 700mb file(ill leave you to figure out what thats the "standard size" for) but im not doing direct downloads..........if this has you scratching your head, dont ask lol..

Speeds are very usable for day to day browsing and such.. i never have FB or PPCG issues... Honestly for YouTUbe, its more likely your devices app or browser will load it faster than tethering to a machine will...

hmmmm, what else... do you do online gaming?? youd probably piss people off if you tried to Host for like COD or games like that.. I honestly dont about know WOW or games like that(im only so big of a geek lol).... but normal online Xbox360 games we play online all the time.....

so its upto you man... youll lose speed, its a given... but depending on what your trying to do, you may not be using the extra speed you had available anyways..

Ive been Tethering for over 3yrs now without a traditional Data Provider....

EDIT and Yes, if you get a call, your data will suspend till call ends... on winMO theres ways to handle that, maybe someone will chime in about how Android handles it... obviously if your in 4G calls and Data work at the same time, so youll have no issue.... i think thats everything you mentioned
