The thing is we need unlimited data plans including tethering capabilities. With websites and stuff these days, especially viewing HD content on you tube, you can burn through several GB's of data in one day... LOL. My lg Optimus g pro won't tether through wifi. ATT blocks it. My previous galaxy 3 could. Then Bluetooth tethering won't work with my pro for some strange reason. But I am able to get USB tethering to work well. Which it recognizes it as a broadband connection. Although id prefer WiFi tethering, any type of connection is better than no connection at all..lol without having to pay extra for tethering. I'm still grandfathered under original unlimited plan. They do try hard as a Mofo to trick me up into changing my plan. Their slick move is, even though I'm unlimited, if I go over 2gb of data or so, they severely throttle my data/download speeds. Which six. Lol
