said by Matt:said by fAcEtIOUs:Tethering should be included at no charge if the 5GB cap is there and enforced. If you need more than 5GB/mo, then a plan should be available to add more GBs at additional cost. Tethering should be irrelevant in the age of smartphones that are computers anyway.
Verizon told my friend today that he didn't qualify for the $30 data plan because "he accesses a secure Exchange server." So they won't let him downgrade from his $45/month plan. I said the same thing you did; why do they care, it's only HTTPS traffic and it's only 150MB a month?
Just follows in to my contention that bills should be based on ACTUAL usage and NOT on WHAT goes over the pipe. Verizon hasn't learned that lesson yet.
