Is i can quit my internet provider

Added (1). 4GB Data mobile

Risk of rapidly overtaking?

YES and OH Hell yes

Yes you can use your iPhone as a router. You would enable tethering/hotspot. However, you probably will burn through the 4Gb of data very quickly if you have a lot of devices all connected to it.

Mobile Internet isn't really a replacement for regular home Internet. It does work, but oftentimes, it may cost a lot more than a regular home Internet plan.

Depends on what you want to do - 4 GB isn't much. The last Fallout 4 highres texture pack was over 50 GB.

You can use phone as hot spot. You will pay for data used.

You should be able to tether your phone, to use it as a modem to provide an Internet Connection, although I believe this can work out more expensive

  • What's the difference between a cheap router and a good router? Just wanted to know the difference between a cheap router and an expensive router, I know that is a very broad question, I'm just a bit confused on how a router works. Does it increase my Internet speed on multiple devices? I get 50Mb per second, Well at least that's what I pay for. I have a PS3 two iPhones and a tablet, as well as a desktop PC that is wireless. Can anyone recommend an excellent router under $150
  • What is the best wireless router to use? We're using Teksavvy cable Internet which requires you to buy a router. We're supporting 2 Xbox 360's, blackberry, 2 iPhones (4s), iPad, and a desktop computer. I need something that will allow me to use all, and be cost effective. I don't want to spend another fortune.
  • Is there a way to use a smartphone without using ANY data? Is it possible to automatically disable any data use on an iphone? I don't need data while i'm not connected to Wi-Fi, but from articles I have read it sounds like my phone still uses it for things like email. Is there a setting that says "don't do it unless there's Wi-Fi"? SMS and calling doesn't use data and thats all I need when i'm not at home.
  • Is it possible to use a wireless router but have my mac wired to it? I have a mac and ps3 that i wanna keep wired to the router, but my ipad and phone wireless. Can i use a wireless router to keep my ps3 and mac wired and my ipad and iphone wireless?
