And sadly, believe it or not, it works a lot better than it did at the beginning of the year. Luckily, I have a 4g phone, a tethering app, and unlimited data though Verizon. Truth be told, last time I ran the computers internet though my phone and ran a speed test It downloaded 3x faster than our DSL. I would get rid of the DSL and just use my phone all the time if it wasn't for the other people in the house, the need for Wi-Fi to run the tablets, and the fact that while tethered, my phone slowly drains instead of charging and would die in just a few hours. Still, the answer will be to try to remember to tether up before registering as it will serve as a fail safe.
