I've been trying to convince my parents to do this, but my dad is fucking committed to paying for the landline and the worst imaginable internet that comes with it, along with refusing to have a cell phone.

>>58799617
Only if the WiFi is really shit.

If the Internet became efficient with handling data, I would.

Even without audio/video, one would still burn through 15GB a month too easy.

Just focus on text based activities. Wait till you get to a wifi hotspot in the city and download everything in one go to hold you over.

Pretty good, as a backup/mobile solution. Google Fiber all day everyday at home.

4G is literally faster than most broadband connection. But the costs are pure jewry. Fuck it.
>>
Nope. I do use my phone for a Bluetooth PAN regularly though. I've got an NFC tag in my netbook so I can tap my phone to the palmrest and it turns on my Bluetooth PAN.
>>
>>58799617
I did that for a while, I turned image loading off in order to achieve better bandwidth usage because unlike >>58799711 USA actually sucks for internet and at that time I didn't have the $300 to sign up and the $100 a month plus $30 in taxes for the service.

Eventually I struck a deal with landlord, gave him $35 for the wifi password.

Primarily? No. I'm not a masochist.

I do use it when cable internet goes out though.

I used to, shit threatened to catch my phone on fire and drained the battery faster than it could charge under heavy load.

I do. I steal my the wifi of my neighbors (got a couple of their password, in case one network is being more used). My laptop can't handle the range as it has a really shit wifi card, and so I use the phone as a wifi router which tethers to my laptop that runs Manjaro. Really ghetto, but it works well.

i get my internet from retarded neighbors that can't configure their router properly XD
>>
i didn't want to go through the hassle of setting up an internet contract. It was on a jailbroken iphone 3gs as well because it didn't support tethering by default so I had to hack the dman thing.

Connection was pretty good (1-3mbs), I even did forex trading while I was on it. Until my provider decided to cap speed and charge extra for going over certain amount of GB.
>>
>>58799617
No. That's fucking retarded.
