Stupid Metro blocking tethering on esteem again

I have to install mozilla 5.0???????


no for IE9 you have to download and install this file: Bayden Systems - UAPick

its what they call an user agent, than you have to go into the use agent and put this in the box, Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2.1; en-us; SCH-R910 Build/FROYO)

on firefox you install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/

and then go into the use agent and put that same code Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2.1; en-us; SCH-R910 Build/FROYO)

hope this helps you out

I'm willing to pay an extra $50 for wifi tether everywhere....$75 if truly no caps..+ the actual downloading itself(not the streaming) can be at 'reasonably' reduced speed.:eek:
Here in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas, you can buy a USB wireless 4G stick from Clear or another wireless internet service provider for about $50. The monthly subscription for unlimited 4G wireless internet service is only $50 a month.

If you are willing to pay an extra $50 for wifi tether, you might as well just get a USB stick. It's easier than tethering. You won't have to go through some complicated setup or playing cat-and-mouth with MetroPCS. Just plug in the stick into a USB port, and you get unlimited internet, legally.

Exactly.....................................

This is one area where our government could've made itself truly useful by doing whatever it took to ensure 'affordable total' access / coverage- just like for electricity, telephones, etc.

Just this alone for broadband and wireless would've had our economy booming all along...
