Oh, whatever. Like less than 1% of the customers that actually do this would be enough to cripple their network.

You don't think if they offered unlimited LTE data that more people would do tethering? It's faster than the internet connection many people can get at home. And then they don't have to pay two bills.

People just doing normal usage on a PC tethered to their LTE device would cause problems. Watching tons of youtube videos, streaming Netflix and Hulu, etc.

Now I'm not against an unlimited option being offered, but I can see why they wouldn't allow it. I do think caps given the cost need to rise. 1GB should be $15/mo. 5GB should be $30.

But again, don't like the cost then don't pay for it. We aren't entitled to cheap mobile data plans.

Unfortunately those 1% of people could easily cripple your network. With that said the data caps are insane. Whats the point of having 4g if your data cap prevents you from using it.
