The next plan up starts throttling at 2GB, I believe. The G2 has wifi and USB tethering built in. They both work like a charm, even though T-Mobile doesn't officially support it's tethering capabilities. I've lived in Lebanon, Hendersonville, and currently Madison. I have no problems with my service in the areas I live and work, but if I go out to really rural areas like Norene/Watertown, T-Mobile can't compete with Verizon. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
