    I have a DROID Bionic, rooted, running the latest OTA .246. I am a Verizon customer on the "grandfathered" unlimited data plan. I have FoxFI installed to make my Bionic a hotspot. I am considering buying a tablet as I am in my car a lot and tend to stream movies. If I use my Bionic as a hotspot to stream movies through the tablet, will Verizon know and am I subject to any additional charge? Since getting the Bionic a year ago, I average about 5 to 10 GB per month of data use.... Once I begin using the Bionic as a hotspot, I anticipate my data use to remain similar.

    Thanks.

    You are in violation of your terms of service but I've never heard a single case of Verizon even approaching anyone about it. I use FoxFi all the time and have never had an issue with them. Sprint removed FoxFi from the market on their network and Verizon hasn't even taken that step yet.

    The only real risk you run is that Verizon might throttle your connection. Here's their official statement: Network Optimization | Verizon Wireless
