No. Tethering speeds are advertised at 600-800kbps, while the lastest usb aircards are at 600 kbps to 1.4mbps. If you want to try it out for free for a month to test out the speeds send me a PM and I will get you set up.

Thanks Demon. I knew when I messaged you that you would get them squared away.

Granted, if we all had to skim through countless re-posts/double-posts, it would merit said verbal lashings, but in the case of saving a dime in poor economical times, give a brother a break.
I agree 100%. In my opinion the first response was out of line. I for one didn't know there had been a price drop, and am glad to have this info!

Thanks JaredH!
I must have been hiding under a rock but I didn't hear about this plan either.
I called and within 10 minutes changed my plan from $44.99 to 29.99!
Thanks again man.

Just be aware that the 29.99 email and web plan does not permit BES integration, so don't be so quick to save a buck and lose your BES functionality.

As long as you don't mind helping:

Is there any 'data tethering' plan that allows limited, pay as you go megabyte or what have you?

I am interested in using my verizon 8830 with my tomtom920 gps for getting up-do-date traffic information. Apparently, I would need the "additional" data package as the $29.00 plan does not include access to whatever I may need.

Thanks

There is not a pay as you go tethering, sorry. The feature would be $15 monthly to tether. I can add a month of this free however if anyone wants to try it out.

Demon, does this not mean in a way, that VZW is kind of ripping us off if we have a bundled plan? for instance, i have the $99 bundle 900min and blackberry, but if i did nationwide 900 for $59.99 and then the BB web and internet for $29.99 I would save about $10 which almost covers my tethering fee...

thanks,

-trekuhl
