They basically have to make an educated guess if you're tethering or not. If they think you are, they can simply change your plan anyway they like.

How is this legal?

Fuck them. A 45$ fee to plug my phone into my computer for data? Fuck you ATT. What I do with my hardware is none of your business. If you want to charge me for bandwidth I use, that is yours, feel free. That is fine. However I am not going to pay 75$ for a shit-retarded 5GB cap, you damned morons.

I already switched to a 3rd party that buys from sprint/Vz in bulk, and passes much of the savings to its consumers in the form of realistic caps on its wireless net. 20GB VZ/50GB sprint. Its been great so far. Good riddance ATT, hello and Skype.

Im sure ill be rated down for the bad bad words (adult site? come on), but I think they are justified. Sick of these companies.

Captitalism is fun isn't it? They can do whatever they like as long as it's in your contract. Their system, their rules.

I know, it's really annoying. I recently switched carriers to one that has about half the network to get unlimited data.

This wasn't even on a contract. So they can do it regardless.

They can do whatever they like as long as their customers keep signing new contracts you mean…

Yeah, no one here (myself included) likes these crackdowns, but the reality is that the majority of their customers have no idea what tethering entails. Or at least, they have no idea what “free” tethering entails. As such, the carriers can “crack down” without worrying about alienating a large portion of their userbase.

Anyway, by all anecdotal reports, Sprint will be the one carrier that will continue to look the other way about tethering. Give them your business when your current contract runs out if it really bugs you.

I like capitalism.
If you can't read the contract, most likely, your government issued education has failed you.

It doesn't matter if its on a contract or not.
