I have a tripple play package with my home cable. This includes cable, internet and home phone. I know people have been ditching cable for a while along with home phone but I have not jumped on that bandwagon yet. I know you can tether internet from your smart phone and use it as a wireless hotspot but I don't have unlimited data with my AT&T iPhone 4. SHMBO has the Verizon iPhone with unlimited data so I assume we can use that by jail breaking the phone and using it as a hot spot.
She isn't thrilled about messing with her phone so I don't think that is an option. I also read that once you jail break and iPhone, if you update the software you would have to jail break it again. This seems like a headache unless you don't update your phone via iTunes.
I came across this Youtube video of a kid demonstration how to use an Ipod Touch as a wireless hotspot. It would have to be jail broken first before it can be used. He explained you have to download some app that allows you to use it as the hotspot.
Does anyone here have any experience with this or uses other alternatives?
