Android tethering FAQ thread

[Quicksilver7714]

What is sad is my friends have EVO's and my browser loads up faster than theres do at the same locations..

Remember that Sprints 4G is only available in about 40 cities nation wide.
Verizons LTE network will most likely be available next January. That's what I have heard from a verizon rep.

Well i'd say prolly around 12-15 gb a month. I spend about 10-15 hours a week playing Cod and BC2.

It's folks like you that will ruin it for the rest of us

Actually no its not. It is not my fault I'm using my phone to its utmost ability. I'm also not gonna be walked all over by corporate America over a measly $20 a month. Blame Motorola for adding the feature to the X. It is people like you who corporate America loves because you'll do what they tell you. I am already paying Verizon dearly because of the fact that I have a FULL unlimited nationwide plan with unlimited data. I'm not going to pay them another $20 a month just to link my phone's internet to what ever device I choose to.

Also Verizon is looking into LTE instead of 4g. LTE is faster and more stable, and has a overall better connection than anything that is currently available.

If everyone was using 20gb a month they would go to limited data for
a pretty price. BUT! if they did that and everyone cancelled their contracts to show of force verizon would make it a standard to give everyone unlimited to use as they please.

We are in a medium here, It all depends on which side makes
the next move and the other side plays accordingly.

With the 123k members we have on this forum we could no doubt make
verizon think twice about implimenting data plans.

They don't care. Plus I think if we even do that I pretty sure most the people are going to ***** about it and just live with it.

Probably late 2q or 3q next year

Lte penetrates walls better than 4g. They are totally different technology.

Yes I know. From what I have heard LTE is going to operate in the 700mhz range. Lower frequencies penetrate walls better.
I heard January next year, but I personally think that we will see LTE around June.

And LTE will be on limited data plans?

 

[Quicksilver7714]

umm excuse me..?

Lets see... $100 dollar phone bill on average? times 123 thousand people?

Thats 123 Thousand less dollars Verizon will have a month.

Thats One Million Four Hundred Thousand dollars a year...

But yes, your right... They don't care.

 

[abe7333]

And LTE will be on limited data plans?

I said active members of this forum.
All we have to do is send a mass email to everyone.
Or just make a popup so it advises them about what's going on
when they log into the site.
Furthermore everyone could donate $5 dollars and we could
make a commercial. It would be caught by news channels worldwide.

Trust me. Power in numbers.

Hmmm an LTE incredible type phone would be amazing with an unlimited plan. (the incredible is my favorite phone)

 

[vatothe0]

It's already been announced that they are introducing tiered data plans within 6 months.

Well if that's the plan then they better have an option for unlimited data as well. I only tether to my laptop to use this forum, other than that most of my 4gig plus data usage is directly on my phone. That's one of the main reasons I got a smart phone, because I can use as much data as I want and it also replaced my then f***** up laptop (I hate Windows Blue Screen of Death). Although I don't exploit the unlimited data like you 15GB a monthers.

X-box, PS3, NetFlix, no wonder Verizon is doing away with unlimited data plans.
