Re: Sprint Letter - "UNUSUALLY HIGH DATA USAGE"

I figure most people use like 1 hour of total streaming per day, which would make it 28 days to acheive 5GB.

Better off just connecting to wifi.... shit is available almost everywhere. 3g speeds are too slow to even deal with this much data.
I use 5GB a day/avg... so your theory here is almost close... I can "backup" about 3 movies in a 24 period..

I was thinking of purchasing another tp2 and use like bored just for wife tethering. Maybe I should get a TP1 since it's just for tethering. Is the TP1 evdo rev a?
stealth tethering ONLY works on USB Tether.. I cant speak for Darren, but i use WifiRouter app.. so no, no Stealth here at all!
