Personally I wouldn't use tethering as my only internet option, for one I use a lot of bandwith and download a lot of things so that's why I keep a high speed internet connection at home and only use tethering for times when I'm someplace when I can't / won't pay for internet service.

Was wondering the same thing on how they are actually telling if someone is tethering.
I would not be able to cut the cord at home and use only tethering. I download a lot during the day while at work and stream audio content from locally stored MP3's. Too much bandwidth would be used and I am sure I use more than 5gb per month......since VZW's nice 'unlimited' cap is at 5gb per month....
Did use phone tethered to a router and shared to other pc's at home when wired connection was down. problem was I left it on over night and left a torrent going all night.....got a note from VZW about the overage and was a first warning.
