Is this any better than just using internet sharing app?

I can answer that one....some will say no, but I say it is better. It is my understanding that internet sharing give you a NAT'd connection, so the IP address your laptop gets is not the same as the external IP address of the phone's connection to the internet. when you connect via the USBModem/WModem method, the phone doesn't do any of the NAT routing processes...it strictly acts just like a modem, thus the IP address your computer receives is your external ip address.

I'm not sure it has a tangible difference on speed, but I have noticed slightly lower latency that way. maybe i'ts all in my head, I don't know. But the connection seems a lot more stable using the modem method.

Sorry if this is stupid question but..

Just last night I went from having an xv6800 on Rom:2.09.605.8/Radio:1.30.60 for 6 months to DCD 3.3.4/Radio 3.42.50... Wow this things so much faster!!

Now i pay my $45/month to verizon for broadband access connect (legal tethering)... And in the past was using "Modem Link" then VZ Access to connect....... now with DCD 3.3.4 I dont see modem link anymore.. used ICS for today... tomorrow I'd like to use Wmodem as I just read all the advantages to it...

My question: whats the difference between Wmodem and whatever method would utilize verizons vzaccess manager program to dial the connection? is either any "better" for a faster connection?

Thx in advance. Thx Talyn!!

does anyone else find this confusing for vzw customers? the link referenced talks sprint stuff and i'm not sure how it applies.

i have the cab installed on the phone and the drivers/software on my laptop but have no idea how to config the phone or the laptop, everything is so confusing...

how about a step by step....that applies to vzw!
