I missed Netshare and was sad forever. Just picked this up and tried it out on windows.

Here's Speedtest Results:

That can't be your iPhone. The image says your ISP is roadrunner

Lol, turn off WIFI on your iPhone. You're still using your ISP (Roadrunner) to achieve that result. It will apparently share any connection your iPhone currently has, including WIFI. I found this out with my first speed test, which ran at 12mbps, way above what AT&T offers in this area, even with my speedier iPhone 4S.

Sorry for posting so many questions, but at least here's one that hasn't already been answered...

Just to be sure, if my phone happens to become connected to Wifi, will the computer draw from that connection rather than 3g?

EDIT: Wow, talk about a "zeitgeist"! Even that question got answered before I could finish typing it!

Just downloaded, however, I got a question about this:

Lets say Apple pulls this from their stores after I completed the purchase. However, I decide to buy a new Mac. Will I be able to re-download it as part of my Itunes account on the new Mac?

I believe AT&T sent out warning notices to people who used PDANet or other tethering apps. They might do the same with this app. Most probably they will add a $30 tethering charge to the bill after a warning.

I did purchase it though. Worth the risk if light occasional use doesn't make them charge us immediately. As another person mentioned, use it sparingly and with discretion.

the mac companion crashes every 5 seconds....

THIS. Wildly unstable on my MacBook running Lion.

I'll just chime in to say that it works great. It took all of 1 minute to get up and running too. Get it while it's hot.

Hopefully AT&T doesn't ruin the fun since I'll probably use this once or twice a month, tops.

Works on iPad

Awesome. Don't desperately needed it right now, downloaded for future use hopefully.

AT&T Detecting Usage

I purchased this with the hope that ATT won't detect. I had purchased myfi way back when and ATT discovered my infrequent usage within two or three days. We'll see what happens....

 

[futch]

When I load the program on my Mac I am getting "The application tproxy quit unexpectedly" and when I click relaunch or relaunch from the application icon I keep getting the same message. Any ideas?

Should be able to no problem. So far, Apple hasn't messed with already downloaded apps to my knowledge, all it's done is remove apps from the store.

I'm a little concerned that I dropped $15 on an app so easily.

restarting both my phone and mac seems to have helped.

Roadrunner is the ISP that was hosting the speed test app.

The ISP changes depending on what server you choose to test with.

Everybody that uses speed test reguarly should know that.

Seems a real company, so hopefully they'll update:

Don't own a iPhone yet, still holding off for a iPhone 5, and whenever I can afford the payment for the monthly cost. will go with Verizon.

Yes. As long as you keep the ipa file stored in the itunes folder. Just transfer that file to the new computer. I do the same for apps like 'VLC Player' and 'Full Fitness' which have been pulled from the app store.

I'm a little concerned that I dropped $15 on an app so easily.

What comforted me in my decision was the knowledge that I've been able to get refunds on app purchases in the past when I've requested one (once or twice before) through the support/contact form through iTunes.

hahaha
Me too, but hey, it's $15 bucks. We can survive that.
Luckily I will only need this maybe 3 days a month when I travel and just for surfing the net without major downloads. Hopefully AT&T will not find out. Gotta use that unlimited plan.

Backgrounding

Just fyi, this app does not continue to push bits while backgrounded on iOS. Must have the app open front and center.

 

[AJH1993]

Verizon won't cut you off. I've been tethering my HTC Thunderbolt LTE phone to my laptop for almost a year now w/o paying for it, and have gotten no cease letters/extra charges. That's cause Verizon isn't greedy like crappy AT&T

This is the part that sucks...

Still getting it though.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that sounds like a good thing. (Won't be transferring data when you're unknowingly using it)
