I'm thinking about ditching my cable internet and just tethering with the phone since I don't use much bandwidth and rarely ever do any online gaming. The majority of bandwidth activity goes into catching old/missed episodes/hulu/youtube which can take up to about 5-8 GBs per month. I'm curious if Tmo will throttle my bandwidth or charge me extra without warning.
I'm on unlimited family plan (non-smartphone). I occassionally tether my N800 to my N900 and watch my streaming HAVA at work (been doing it for about 3 months now I guess). I've done more than 3GB in a month with no issues. From what I understand, T-mobile doesn't throttle you until you cross 10GB for a month..but I have no documentation with which to back that up.
