Good for you. Lie back and take it while others with comprehension of life will find ways to protect themselves.

LMAO! Next he will be calling us sheep!

Dude you said "comprehension of life"...taking you cellphone plan way too seriously, bro...lol

Lol, I'm really beginning to think that you think you're some kind of freedom fighter

or at least a power ranger:icon_ banana:

Well since we're not allowed to "go off about V Tos say" then yeah you're right...but...is that how it works?

"Before you go off about the laws of this country, I'm going to break the laws...think about what I'm saying"...pretty awesome loophole.

Just ignore the TOS and you'll be ok, huh?

Lol of course you posted up first!
All you haters are funny and amuse me.
Like you really live by every law on the books.

Actually? I do live by the laws. I learned a long time ago it isn't worth even the littlest thing that can cause you to lose your freedom. So yes, I am a law abiding citizen right down to always using my turn signal.

I don't agree with paying twice for something, however, it IS in the TOS. Also why tether when there are so many free WiFi connections available that are much faster?

In addition to that - my phone does it all, what the he!! do I want to carry around a bulky laptop for? I can remote in to my servers with my Droid, and run any program I want through the remote session or Terminal services. Okay, the screen is smaller - buy a tablet then.

The OP is the best justification I've seen yet for tethering: Firefox on a computer has spell check.

Because by tethering you are bringing down the evil conglomerate who takes away your freedoms and your comprehension of life.

"Hear me out guys...if the laws didn't exist, we wouldn't be wrong right?? Think about what I'm saying!!" LOL...

This thread is under review.

Exactly why I tether without paying for it. It makes me feel alive..........And a lot of places I go, there are no free wifi connections, and browsing the internet is much better on my netbook.

Tethering for free is just being cheap you are not changing anything .

I am working on something but until it happens I dont want to jinx it.

How are you getting your way again? You're paying them, they're in control of their network, they're going to stop unauthorized tethering, and you're going to continue to pay them...and you are going to whine while you visit verizonwireless.com to pay your bill...lol...yes...you are getting your way.

When one way to tether is shut down, more will arise. Just like the past few days. It's fruitless, but it gives them something to do.

They are not going to shut down tethering. They like the other carriers will do away with unlimited data, or throttle it. That is how they will stop you.

All four of the major carriers expressly prohibit tethering in their contracts. AT&T has totally done away with unlimited data. T-mobile slows you down to 3G (or slower) speeds after 2GB. Verizon isn't far behind. Unless you resign shortly, your current contract will be your last with unlimited full speed data.

I am being cheap. But I am seeing many more starting to wise up and not waste their money on the same product multiple times by reading these kinds of discussions, and more learning how to tether when before, they didn't even know it was possible for free.
