Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?
by John Stoffel
Hi,
Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently
got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky
all the time, esp when it rains.
So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter.
I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild
about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet
another set top box to have to deal with...
So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service?
Thanks,
John

Verizon disables WiFi hotspot capability unless you pay extra.

Out of curiosity, why not via Wifi? It doesn't require any drivers on the client side which is really nice.
To your question, I haven't done it in over 5 years so my experiences probably are relevant anymore.
Thank you,

This is an unrooted Motorola Droid Turbo on Verizon.
I found that I can go into Developer Settings on the phone, set the USB
connection type to RNDIS, and my computer sees a USB network connection,
but I haven't been able to get an IP address assigned; it says "connecting"
for a bit, then fails.

Android USB tethering
by Richard Klein
Does anyone have experience tethering an Android phone to their PC via USB?
I'm trying FoxFi (pdanet.co) on my phone. It says you need to run companion
software on your PC, and they offer that software for Windows and Mac, but
not for Linux. I don't have internet access to my home anymore, so I can't
search repositories like I used to.
