    Successful Hotspot tether on LG Connect

    I installed "Wifi Hotspot Widget" and it worked perfectly.

    It worked great today, my kids were surfing via the hotspot with their iPods for about 2 hours on the road around Atlanta without any issues. My wife was playing Angry Birds at the same time on my phone. I have to say, it was a quiet ride.

    yea i metro for some reason stopped blocking tethering for their 4g lte network but focused more on blocking their 3g evdo network.

    now any1 on 3g that tries to tether without changing their browser's user agent will get redirected to this webpage.

    do you think they gave up trying to stop us from tethering on 4g? or perhaps they are getting ready to launch a new protocol to disable tethering for good? eh im not sure they will be able to do anything about it.
