I also had the unlimited tethering Arron for unlimited data for $20 a month. Stupidly I got rid of it and just went back to unlimited. I was doing the same as the OP though and using as my home internet connection. Worked great, but Theresa only nt Ernst when you are home for everyone else and that wasn't flying
I have unlimited data also and primarily use it in verizon LTE iPad.
I had verizon line setup on my brothers account as add on. So I pay him about $45 a month for my share of the line.
But I also have home Internet.
We have going kids and verizon LTE iPad is very helpful when eating out or traveling with Internet on the to access. My kid (3years old) uses between 10-20gb of data each month.
I guess I could turn on the hotspot and replace my home Internet. My home Internet 40mpbs with less than 20ms ping times is still preferable over LTE.
LTE speeds in orlando with verizon range from 5-30mpbs. It used to be 15-50 mpbs for me back in 2011 when orlando was one of first cities to get it.
My home Internet is part of my triple play package of $110 a month. And yes we do use home line for faxing and security system. So I figure my one Internet cost me $40/month. No biggie.
I guess if I were hurting for money I could use my LTE as home Internet replacement. Or moved into new home without Internet setup and use it temporarily.

The most that I ever used was last month at 60GB. In the last 6 month my average for data consumption is 20Gb
I like how everyone WANTS verizon to have tier plans to screw customers over when they go over their limit. You either want verizon to have tier plans or your just hating because you "play by the rules" morals that don't really exist, it's self gratification with nonexistent rules. (I think I'm going by the rules by not using too much data)
If verizon wanted to they would stop their unlimited (which they did in a way) and wouldn't offer any hot spot feature for unlimited users. By paying the $30 for hot spot verizon gives you permission to use your data however you want(I think it should be included regardless as I'm already paying for data, just another way of them getting our money)
That said, I have unlimited data from verizon legally, I pay for hot spot legally, I should use it however I want. And yet people point fingers at the high usage users and blame them for tier plans which is not true as verizon knew it was going away from minutes and text messaging with smart phones all over the market. Verizon knew it was turning into an wireless ISP(internet service provider) so to make more money they dropped unlimited, added tier plans, spam the market with advertising saying "Share everything, unlimited minutes, unlimited text! *cough* 2gb between devices."
"Use more data? Pay us more." Should of been AT&T and Verizon's slogan.

Yes, that type of router would work better than using the actual phone 24-7.
But then if you got the sim in there you wouldn't be able to use the phone as a phone though.
Right. I guess when I'm at home, I don't really want my phone to ring - it's always silenced (no vibrate either). I get enough calls/emails/texts at work. So moving it into a router during the few days I was waiting on Comcast wasn't a big deal.
