Edit; for those having this issue just turn off wifi calling. That was the problem

That would be correct. WiFi uses the GSM network and not the 4G. You may not want to turn off the WiFi to keep your data usage in check. When you leave the WiFi area it will revert back to the 4G network and the use 2G will be unchecked.
Unlimited 4g. I'm sure you've all heard about it. I went and checked it out. Apparently the only catch is you can't hotspot. But since I'm rooted and running cm7 I should be able to still use hotspot with a third party app, right?

Tethering is built into cm7, no need for an app.. and you might need to change the user agent on the device you tether so you don't get the tmobile redirect.

I am on the unlimited 4g, if I use Firefox, default settings, it seems to work fine. IE blows in the first place, but for the sake of mentioning it, and doesn't work, routes everything to a page telling me to buy tethering. I can also torrent just fine. I guess part of it is just the port it's set to listen on, 80, and if there is activity on other ports, so what.
Edit: also, SSL sites work.

I use the hotspot for my laptop and my lady's g2x. She is on the monthly 4g I'm not concerned with using my laptop, it's her g2x that worries me. I don't see how tmobile would catch on. But I wanted to run it by you guys before switching and potentially voiding my contract

so what your saying here is that if i switch to the New Unlimited Nationwide 4g data package i wont be able to tether my tablet to my phone?
That's what they told me but (I may be wrong) if you are using a custom rom or just rooted with a thrid party hotspot app tmobile want be able to detect or stop you, right?

So far it's not given me a problem at all.

Nevermind catching a tmobile redirect on my laptop. Working on getting around it
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I use Google Chrome & change the user agent. Give that a go.
How do you do that without an add-on
I figured it out. I sometimes forget Google answers all.

bit the bullet and switch to the unlimited 4g plan and i havent had any problems with surfing the web or streaming media on my tablet tethered to my phone. i have gtab 2 with cm10 and g2x with cm7.
Okay guys, it seems like no matter what i do, I can't get the WiFi tethering to work. I tried all the apps from the play store, and the built in tethering in the settings. It would make the hotspot, but when I connect to it, it can't connect to the internet for some reason. Any ideas? I'm running AOKP.
Thanks

Have you tried the new apn route?
What browser are you trying to use?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Google chrome.
What's this new APN?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Just create a new apn, cl it whatever you want, and where it says apn put epc.tmobile.com
Try firefox instead if you can, tethering seems to work better on firefox
