| Tethering a PS3 with phone
Anybody tried this? I have a tether app that I can run my PS3 with from my phone. I would imagine Id have alot of glitch issues. Just wondering if anyone else has tried. |

| That and data caps. I would imagine that you would hit the 4GB rather soon if you are using it for gaming. | |

| My phone gets about 6mbs on 3G & my home Internet is a little slower than that. My online gaming is smooth. Somehow I just don't see it working out that great. If you're on a capped plan it will eat it up pretty quick & if you're on unlimited they will throttle you for excessive usage which is a crock. | |

| 3-4 is about as low as it goes around the house & work. There's a lot of towers around not sure which server I actually use, Columbia, Asheville, or Shelby. I live near a pretty busy section of I-85 not sure if that has much to do with it. | |

| When I had my 4, I averaged about 4.5 when I was in a great coverage area....about double that now with HSPA+.....anyway tethering to a PS3 or 360 wouldnt be worth in imo unless you had absolutely no other options. | |

| I have had to do this before I moved bc my internet was always going out, so I ended up dropping them. I didn't need an app the ps3 will pick your phone up in the search. It did with mine anyway. I have a 4g, but was only getting low 3g at that location. It did ok, but could be a pain most of the time | |
