Simple question I just want to make sure I don't get extra charges for teathering to my laptop every once in a while when the laptop would be easier.
not unless you call them and tell them

of course they can. the real question is do they really care?! i remember a thread with one person touting something like 50GB of use in a single month...
so they really wont care if I use my phone as a wireless hot spot for temporary usage for like email or playing online with my PSP or something...awesome. Thanks

They can probably tell when your usage jumps up like that, but thats it.
50gbs? Thats nothing, I average 2~3 sometimes 5 gbs a day, and I try to take it easy when I tether

Sometimes I use over 15GB/mo. just on my phone. They probably don't care. I read that with WiMax they're not even going to have a bandwidth limit, so you can download and tether to your heart's content. I'm definitely looking forward to that.
Lol, I'm pretty sure 50GB was the guy who was considered the lightweight. I'm almost positive I read a guy using over 100GB, and Sprint didn't do anything. That kind of stuff just makes me laugh.

You're lucky you get WiMax already.... I don't live in a city, so regular 3g for me..... They also can't tell if you tether UNLESS you use built-in MNS.

MNS is Mobile Network Sharing. Internet Sharing on fresh 2.0.
They can tell if you tether with that. On wireless tether, it just looks like normal data usage.

I believe it signals your carrier or goes through a different set of ports. Either way, I tried this on a 1.5 rom and my phone wouldn't connect to EVDOs for an hour. Scary.

I use wifi at my house and when available. I guess the main reason I don't use much data is because I study, play video games, and watch a few tv shows/movies. With that much going on, I don't have any time to use massive amounts of data.
Honestly, I don't know how anyone uses 20+GiB. There just isn't enough time in the day unless you're taking time out of other things. Maybe tethering I could see... but if you're just using the phone?

How on earth, short of using wifi tether as your only internet service, do you use 30 gigs of data a month. I've seen a spike in my usage to just above 5 gigs for 2 weeks+ with the TB and < 2 weeks with the D2. But I have never come close to 10 gigs even during the holidays when I tether a crap ton, because most of the people I visit don't have wifi. I'm sorry, but it is people like you that are getting us all forced onto tiered plans eventually. And I consider myself a "power" user. I stream a lot of music, and use my phone a ton for nav. I just do see how you can use this much data.

Tether > xbox, netflix, hulu, etc. When this is faster than my DSL, why not enjoy it? Free tethering won't last forever. Plus ATT put their DSL into tiered plans as well.
550MB between my wife and I combined, having the TBolts since release day. We're on WiFi at home or it would be higher (up to double that). I would call us well over average volume users in regards to social apps and chat programs since it's our work.

Yeah I hear ya. I'm reminded every time I look over my taxes or see someone buying soda and Ding Dongs with food stamps while talking on their iPhone. Hard to complain though because every group has a poster child to make you look evil for being against them lol.
Hi,
So like an idiot I "upgraded" to the new T-Mobile "unlimited" plan with the 2 GB limit. At the time, it made sense to switch; I'd save money on minutes, and I'm not a heavy data user. Right now I use ~200-300 MB a month. At most, I've used 6xx MB recently. My data heavy data apps right now are Pandora and Sling player. And, I'm on wifi when at home, and on campus.
However, I have now started to deeply regret my derision now that Google has announced their new cloud and music services, Netflix has finally launched their app for select android devices (including my N1), and T-Mobile announced free Wi-fi calling on new devices. I'm not asking for pity or reticule, but I need some questions answered.
Does anyone have any idea how much data the new Netflix app uses when using 3/4G? AT&T iPhone users, some of you use Netflix with similar caps, how easy is it for you to reach the cap? Those of you have gone over the 2GB limit on T-Mobile, how badly did they throttle you, if at all?
Finally, I thought I'd share my two cents worth on data usage and caps. I'll gladly stay a capped customer on T-Mobile if such moves allow T-Mobile to return to profitability without the likes of AT&T. Data is data, and data caps on home internet service are abominations. However, bandwidth is not free, and broadband cell service is one of the most expensive last-mile solutions to maintain; it is also primarily a supplemental form of connectivity for most customer So, I have no problem with T-Mobile trying to make a buck and stay afloat, so long as they maintain their current levels of quality and customer service.
those are some good questions. I do know that streaming video takes ALOT of data. So you would be able to do mabe 2 full netflix videos a week would be about my guess. but then again you stream audio too so in doing that, I would say maybe 1 video a week.
I have a friend with the SGS4G and he got put on that plan and hates it. He was using it alott, mainly bc he came from crappy verizon service with maybe 1mbps download to this phone which he hit 21mbps. anyways, when he went over 2gb and got throttled down to just under 2mbps. now that its later in the month, it seems to be they are slowing him down more. He lately has only been getting .06mbps
So yea, it sucks for him. reallly bad.
Well, that answers my throttling questions thanks. Video streaming is done using a variable bit rate, meaning that data usage can rise and fall along with the quality of the video. I'm sure Netflix takes data usage into account when streaming the video over cell. They recently had to preform similar actions for their Canadian costumers, many of whom are subject to ridiculous caps on their home internet connections. I also think that I will rarely watch a full-length movie entirely on 3/4G. So, I'm not too concerned as of yet. I'll experiment once my next billing cycle starts, track my usage, and report the results an a new thread.
I would be willing to bet your friend did a fair bit of tethering?
Let me get this straight. The straight up "Unlimited plan" is even more limited than the regular unlimited 4g web??? Wow, some of that att mentality is already creeping up into that dump i see....

Yarp. You read that right!
go to sprint, fully unlimited bud
Here is my experience..
I'm on t-mobile with the MyTouch 4G. I haven't used netflix as of yet, but I do stream a lot on my phone with other various apps and websites to watch TV shows. I do accounting so I'm usually in my office alone through the day and I have the capabilities of watching shows on my phone, since accounting is extremely boring and i need something to keep me going.
Anyway, on average, a regular TV show (like friends), runs about 25 minutes. And in that time, I use anywhere from 70 - 100mb. Fortunately, I still have t-mobile's "unlimited" data which caps at 5gb.
I have reached the cap once, and for 2 days, they limited my throttle to edge speed! It was ridiculous!
There are a few apps in the market that help keep track of the data you are using. What I personally did was calculate how much data I could use per day and limit myself to that. I could check the apps to make sure I wasn't passing my limit. It's been working pretty well so far.
I hope this helped to whoever needed it!
Thanks are appreciated to all that this helped!

you're welcome dude. And yes, he made the soar mistake of tething his computer, then bridging his comp to his xbox a few times. lmao. told him it was a bad idea. the only thing i dont get is why they throttled him more. he's now getting slower than he did before. I dont think he tethers anymore...
you can also get Movie Stream app off the market. its pretty sweet. Watch movies without a monthly payment. it just streams them from a few different sites. Same Developers as TV Shows Stream app. pretty cool stuff d-('.')-b

Your actually pretty lucky dude. Edge speeds really are not that bad in comparison to GPRS/1G/whatever you want to call it. Most of the time getting throttled means getting 1g speeds. I do know that if you go into networks and change it to edge only networks you can get edge speeds, but somehow you were lucky enough to get them off the bat.
According to Netflix streaming for one hour will use about 1gb of data, 2gbs for HD.

That's probably for desktop streaming, not mobile. Someone I know who uses it on the iPhone said it uses ~200-300 MB/2 hours.
looking at the quality of the mobile movies/shows I'd say about 250mb an hour

People have been getting nailed right and left, seemingly regardless of ROM. I don't think the update has anything to do with it, they're likely doing some packet inspection to determine what OS the packets are originating from.
when i called in regarding the nasty gram. she emphasized to update my phone. so im guess that is where it is coming from. id agree with you.
Yeah, looks like it was the update. It's weird that all of you got caught those,
I tethered a decent amount a few days ago(don't care if anyone knows, even you AT&T spies!) while my home internet was out, not a thing.
Guess we know not to use any new updates from AT&T until we find out how they detect us without tetheringmanager.apk..

Sent from my phone. :3
It's because you're using a stock ROM. I believe there's a service (though I can't for the life of me remember what it's called) that can detect if you're tethering or not. Custom ROMs remove the service so they can't tell.
Im on infused 2.2.3 and I tethered a little bit today and have not gotten anything yet, seems to working fine.

Yeah, I used that much the other week... I've been running CM7 so I'm pretty sure that AT&T is doing some packet sniffing to see the useragent of the packets coming through. I don't think it has to do with the OS you're running.
I got a nastygram saying to stop by September 30th or they'll charge me. So far this month I've use 18gb so I'm sucking as much as I can before they cut me off!!

Works for me and I just updated using the recent 14MB (I think) file the other day. and tethered for a few hours....so far so good anyway.
My wife who has a Streak just got her nasty gram yesterday, now she does tether ALOT, but her phone does not even show a disclaimer for the mobile hotspot like ours does. So, i dont think it has anything to do with the update.
I dont tether alot but I do tether and most months stay around 8-10gigs. (most of that is actually on my phone, I like Netflix)
She is pissed because out where we live we do not have any high speed internet options but we have AWESOME data speeds with ATT but none of the other carriers have anything close. we thought about getting one of those mifi hotspots but ATT only has a 5gig one and that is just a joke to to think 3 teens and 2 adults are going to make that work.

Lucky bastards... I'm stuck on 2GB, so tethering really isn't a viable replacement option for me.
That being said, I find it absolutely bullsh*t that you have to pay for a certain way to use your data. Why should AT&T give a damn how you use your data? I pay for 2GB, I should be able to use it, however the hell I want.

Holy s*$% dude, how did you manage to burn through 24.6 GB's of data??? I consider myself a pretty heavy user and I barely scrape the 5 GB ceiling every month
Well now that I don't have to worry about data....I don't worry so much about backing anything up when flashing roms and then there's Netflix and veetle and everything else that takes data.
LOL. Nice Short. How about leaving a really popular torrent seeding for a month?
Set me up ill sow my seeds.... ~
Ok on the topic of torrents....
I've dl'd a few torrent clients and am learning how they work....question is....is there a particular one that works better?
I went to dl a movie and it showed that it would take 28weeks and 5days to complete,lmao.
I'm also finding that the sites with higher seeding dl faster,but what is concidered a high count,for the numbers I'm seeing aren't all that high.
Short
I use utorrent for both my PC and my phones client. As far as seeds and leaches go remember you can pull from both to get parts of the DL. A seed has the whole file while leachers have just pieces until they finish the DL at which time they become seeders. As long as their are more than 5 seeders(big generalization here) you should be fine. Remember that it's considered torrent etiquette to seed after you receive the DL. Always try to share to a ratio of at least 1. Also remember that torrents are packages with many pieces so you will see slow DL speeds until you get a least a few pieces to share. As soon as that happens your DL speeds will go up fast. I usually get at least 500kb/s down on a well seeded torrent.
It's best if you pick torrents where there are more seeders than leechers. You'll get better speeds that way. On a lot of well seeded torrents you can have your download speeds start at your full connection speed.
Remember, seed:leech ratio is what will control download speed. Normally a torrent that has a few dozen seeders will net you the most speed since a lot of torrent clients have a concurrent connection limit (the number of connections you can have at once) of less than 100 (utorrent, transmission) and you won't gain any more speed from torrents with more than 100 seeders.
I typically use my phone to remote access my home PC and download torrents directly to my home PC. I usually get about 5 MB/s down (even though I have 30 MB plan). I can then just remotely send everything to my seed box and allow uploads to others for a minimum of 2 days.
Since I do not have unlimited data, this avoids me exceeding my data cap and I get better download speeds than using my phone.
I did around 12gb the first month I had unlimited. I need to play with Dosbox and play over battlenet to see what that uses.
