| 04:25.43 | shalkie | Herlo: Speaking of which I got to rehash the same old "Why can't I tether but I can dongle?" discussion in a T-Mo store tonight. It is very nice of them to have raised the throtteling point to 5G... |

| 15:15.33 | shalkie | Apparently they have some sort of control. It sounds like they are monitoring for agent headers and then trying to gouge you for a USB device and more money. |
| 15:21.42 | shalkie | I think it is crap. It is merely a means of gouging you for more cash and they can't spin it in a way that convinces me to do it. |
| 15:44.30 | herlo | they can look, but they can't stop me from doing it |
| 15:45.17 | herlo | they can only charge me for the bandwidth but I don't think they'll do it. I think you are overly worried about it... |

| 16:47.36 | shalkie | This way when I get stuck in ATL they can't charge me the Surcharge to use their wifi network, that I get as part of my plan. |
| 16:48.19 | shalkie | As far as I am concerned their throttleing is also BS. |
| 16:50.18 | shalkie | Nice in the aspect that you hit your limit (no longer a gig, hooray) and you aren't just dataless, but still I wanted unlimited data. As long as I have unlimited data trying to restrict it sucks. Oh well. |
