AT&T Cracking Down on MyWi Tethering?

[BLiNK]

question; if we cannot tether via MyWi or through at&t, using our 'unlimited data plans'. then what is the use of the 'unlimited data plan'? (even up to 5gb) hours of YouTube??

has at&t just simply won and rendered the 'unlimited data plan' useless?

don't know if ATT has won, but they got me beat (for now). I'm sure with all the clever ppl out there that's brought us jb'ing, carrier unlocking and so many ingenious jb apps, someone will eventually find a way to clear this new hurdle. So far, in theory, modifying TTL to 65 sounds promising but it's untested.

Power to the people!!!

Do you think Verizon will start cracking down too?

New Pdanet hides tethering. Just came out today.

How does it hide tethering?

I'm curious too

 

[sproctor61]

Yea thats the problem, no idea how this can be tested to make sure it even works. I'd like some more technical info if possible, before I try it.

I heard pdanet IS AT&T! I KID I KID!!!

I used PDAnet back when I had sprint and an htc. It was definitely hidden them.

From what I've found, I'd go with Tetherme....It uses the iPhone native iphone hotspot so it looks like iphone data to the carrier.... Hence its hidden..... PDANET is really slow.

I use tethering just for my iPad 2 and sometime my MBA

 

[slalomskie]

has any that received the text or letter used the new PDA net and gotten away with it?

 

[smileyboy]

They r getting caught too..

No Void In Contract

I'm surprised at how many of you just accept that since it seems wrong, it must be wrong. I have an unlimited data plan contract, and since I agreed to it before tethering was available, there is no mention of not allowing tethering. It seems to me that this is really a case of the populous being coerced by the powerful.
When high speed Internet and multiple home computers was an exploding business comcast and others were trying to charge Internet per computer. But this went to the supreme court and they LOST! They sell a point of service, and are not allowed to dictate what a customer does beyond that point.
This is the exact same thing. People need to fight this! They are just covering their asses for the too many people out there with unlimited plans, when they know they can charge more. So why not scare people and force people out of their contracts? That's the only way out of the giant unlimited data plan loop holes they've given us.

P.S.- I recently got both text an letter with only 5 gigs usage

Hmm I wonder if Verizon is gonna say the same thing

i've used TetherMe for the last 6 months or so and my data use has gone from 2gb a month to 4-5gb a month and i have not received a text or a letter...FYI...fingers crossed that this doesn't jinx me.

So of the current 3, MyWifi, PDANet, and Tetherme, what one seems to HIDE the tethering usage?
