If they're not doing content filtering, you could also do ssh tunneling over port 80 or maybe openvpn over port 80, and be able to use their faster link. That said, some filters watch port 80 for non-http. But if they allow port 443 for SSL/https, you can easily run openvpn on that port I bet, as they won't be able to tell one ssl connection from another, and can't see whether it is http over ssl or vpn over ssl. That said, I'm grateful for this whole thread, cause I'm hoping to get an android phone sometime soon and would want to be able to tether without paying an extra cent to verizon.
