Re: stupid

said by tcope:

So you are willing to trade one evil for another and you think people won't still complain? I took a quick look at Rogers's data plan pricing and they appear to be a lot more expensive and are all tiered (I realize that it's the Canadian Dollar). So another way to look at it is that they allow tethering but 1) the basic plan is more expensive, 2) all plans are limited and 3) the cost of the plan actually increases upon usage.

I wonder how many $10,000 data bills they have to eat because people don't pay them.

Wind Mobile ( »www.wind.ca ) has 'unlimited' data in my $40 all-you-can-eat voice & data plan. Actually it's 5GB at full speed, thereafter they *may* throttle.

It's windmobile.ca.

You are comparing Wind coverage to any other company? Come on... lets be honest. Wind has "coverage" in 3 small areas (3 cities in all of CA). If you are outside of these 3 cities you _PAY_ "away charges at $.20/min. You also pay $.10/25kb.

Per their website:
"
If I have a data add-on, can I tether my phone to my laptop?

If you have a data add-on and have added data tethering, you can use your phone's internet connection to get your laptop online (aka "tethering") with most WIND phones."

It appears from their website that data with tethering is seperate from a normal data plan.

We are talking about tethering.

I can tether on my existing $40 plan (the plan they offer today may not have that option), wired or via Bluetooth, or turning my phone into a WiFi hotspot.

I can also pull the SIM from my phone and stuff it into a data stick, and changing the APN on a data stick and it'll work for data that way too.
