EVO 4G Anyone else buy the hotspot package

It is month to month - I bit just to test it out, but I might keep it

This test was done on my laptop connected to the EVO via WPA2 inside a building away from windows ( normally 4G sucks more inside due to the higher frequency)

I'm not going to game with it - or VOIP, but for remote tech assistance on the side of the road, it beats EDGE

Edited to remove Domain - it grabbed it from the laptop (work PC)

thats kinda low side of 4g or are you using 3g?

Root, Wireless Tether for Root, done. No added cost.

That was 4G, but only 2 bars - again inside a building so the signal strength suffered

I've heard that with root you lose 4G access, I don't mind the extra cost especially when I can turn it off ( not tied to contract) at will.

Nah, you don't lose 4g.

You don't lose anything at all. If nothing else you should try the Unrevoked root. Quick and painless.
