Ping times over 3G are not the greatest. so using it for gaming might not be the best idea. i just did a speedtest using wifi and then using 3G. wifi was 30ms, 3G was 113ms. that will add up to a lot of lag if you are thinking of tethering for gaming.

He probably meant about your 5GB bandwidth limit.... Remember "Unlimited Data" means up to 5GB in Cellular Carrier terms.

A common misconception... Don't worry about the 5GB limit, there isn't one

For Cellular your correct. but tethering (done correctly) does have a cap.

If you start using a LOT of data, they can catch you even if you stay under the limit, though it is unlikely. On a side note, get the tank off your shoulder and hold your gun right.

Was thinking the same thing but now that someone else said it......

So using the PDA cap count for 5gbs of memory?
And about my gun... I play Russian Legion style lol. Aka national tournament paintball

Thanks for clarification.

Also, like the sig and the FDE (looks like, anyway) lower.

There is no cap when using Data on the Droid...

If you have a air card, there is a 5gb cap....

If you tether your droid there is a 5gb cap....

If you tether with out a tether plan and VZW finds out....$$$$

Mr. Black, Airsoft? or Paintball only?

And to keep it semi on topic, that would be cool to tether with out the plan...
