ah, interesting, glad that I'm from Germany and with my contract at T-Mobile it costs exactly nothing. Paying extra for that would really piss me off, since i use it a couple of hours every week.
Got a tip for us?

Still rocking Handylight here. The best $0.99 I ever spent.

Hopefully their server issue gets sorted out soon for authenticating the app. So far it is a waste of 15$ since it doesn't work, but I'm being optimistic this lasts for more than a few months.
Anyone have a copy of the Windows 7 64 bit PC .exe if there is one?
I downloaded the linked files on the MacRumors front page, but it says the PC version is not compatible with 64-bit Windows. I'd get it myself but tether.com's webserver is fried at the moment. I guess it's overloaded with demand from people who want it while they can still get it.
Can't test the dmg because my MBP is fried at the moment and awaiting replacement parts.

Update: Tether's website is presently down due to the traffic, which means you can't download the Mac/PC apps and it also appears the iOS app verifies with Tether.com on each run, so it won't work while the main website is down.
bad design choice, sure. but not a scam.

I have the DMG but also need the EXE as well for my desktop
if someone can give me a link to download the .EXE file so i will have this for my computer, I would greatly appreciate that. Thank you in advance.

well, people are just using it like crazy now. Servers must be crashing. Mine was working fine 30 minutes ago. Let the excitement settles and hopefully this will work fine in few days. If not I will be pretty disappointed by this thread and you know who.

FU att and verizon! If I buy 2 gigs, it should be ILLEGAL to charge me an extra fee to tether, that's like saying you charge me extra to put my calls on speakerphone. GO @#$%@ YOURSELVES!!!!
It should be rollover data too!!!

Now it's getting attention from AT&T and perhaps being pulled from App store soon......
Although, rather worryingly, their Facebook page just disappeared. I posted a comment to one thread there, and when I tried to post a comment to another thread, it erred out. When I refreshed the page, now all I get is an "expired or mistyped link" page from Facebook.
It had been http://www.facebook.com/Tethercom and obviously their website being down doesn't mean squat to their Facebook profile page... (They had posted to it not 10 minutes ago.)
Their Twitter page is still up http://twitter.com/#!/tethercom with a latest post at about the same time as on their Facebook page before it disappeared, about 10 minutes ago.
