[Verizon] Tethering

[Yeahha]

Glad to see your on the right side of the fence but what I meant is that you cannot compare 'being charged twice for the same data' to 'being restricted from using your personal voice/data services to run a text based business or use as a business line'.

On tiered plans I don't think of it as paying for data twice rather being forced to buy a larger plan regardless of need. I knew what you were saying and both the items I posted would have been business use of your personal line. For that matter what if someone is tethering to host a web cam show that you must pay to view.

Spoiler

if those exist

IMO the ideal tiered plan would be pay per GB that allowed you to do what you like and pay for it

You're right on that first point, my mistake. I overlooked the fact that you are getting an additional 2GB for those $20. So they literally are forcing you to pay for a bigger, unnecessary data plan because of the way the data is used.

EDIT: LMAO, and for that web cam example. I have no problem whatsoever with them adding to the ToS that we cannot use tethering for a profitable business (similar to the restriction you mentioned on hosting a subscription based text service).

This, to me, is just a money making scheme.

Yeah, they are. I don't like the tiered tethering plans unlimited tethering however I understand why they do it and think it is proper

It is a money making scheme. I would love for them to add it to the ToS as well it would make reading it much better...
