[Cialug] Commerical Interruption

[Kenneth Younger]

With verizon I don't pay for tethering, but I've been getting away with
1.2GB some months of data usage with my phone tethered. Of course, the
location I'm at has terrible reception, so I literally get dial-up speeds -
so maybe they just haven't noticed because I've never caused too much load.

And I've been doing it with a non-rooted Droid Incredible through PDAnet *
and* WIFI hotspot.
