Title: tmobile switch from 2G to 3G on the fly
I was curious to see what would happen if I raised the speed to 3G in the middle of a 2G connection. And guess what? It worked. After connecting at 2G, I switch to 3G and run another speed test. The difference is huge; HOWEVER, it seems as though Tmobile is detecting my 3G connection and then cut me off!

Tmobile's doesn't allow 3G speeds for tethering. Personally, I think it is a policy decision to force users to buy into their network card that you have to pay $59 per month.

Does anyone have a way to keep the speed at 3G and somehow fool Tmobile into thinking it's a 2G connection???

Thanks,
