AT&T Notifies Unauthorized Tetherers to Knock It Off
Fire AT&T & go to more data/tether friendly T-Mobile and Sprint...
Best way to punish AT&T for this aggressive anti-tethering policy is to just leave them for another carrier. In my experience, T-Mobile, Sprint, Sprints Prepaid Group's Virgin Mobile & Boost have all been friendly (not to mention fair) to tethering. While against their policies on paper, they do not enforce it and all have unlimited data, though T-Mobile's "unlimited" means 5GB. I don't know what planet AT&T is on with this? I mean their high-speed 3/4G nationwide data coverage (not just major metros) is tied with T-Mobile's for the worst. Why not then at least deal with TMO, a more data-friendly company? Or go with Sprint & get a larger high speed data footprint & unlimited data? The real sweet spot would be Verizon, but I don't know...

Really???? Everyone is a shark when it comes to this, the whole tethering for free deal will be gone completely sooner than later. Att is just the first to really say a whole lot about it up front. Vzw will follow, as far as the speeds Im not sure where you live but depending on what phone you have its not that bad. Here in indy with the Captivate Im running right at 3mps. Im happy, but I also dont need to tether. Chicago has anywhere between 10-15 mps with select devices from sprint and tmobile. There isnt one vzw phone doing that yet.
