I know this is kind of late, but I was in a Rogers store today to confirm this, and the understanding there is that tethering will only be available until dec 31, not that plans signed up for before dec31 will include tethering free. Maybe I'm misinterpreting this post, but the employee I spoke with expected a tethering option to be made available for plans, similar to voice mail or call display options.

Personally I'm really on the fence and don't want to commit for three years on the hope that the future fees that Rogers chooses to charge aren't outrageous.

Tethering on HTC Dream works flawlessly with PdaNet. Just bought the Dream this week with version 1.5 which seems to have fixed a number of issues.

I am using my HTC Dream Android Phone for tethering on my Rogers 6gB/month plan…no problems whatsoever…working great. I did have to buy a third party Android tethering package…but hey, it works flawlessly.

Well at least the rooting got sorted out, nice to get paid apps and get rid of the Rogers icons and such, but we are still SOL on the tethering and custom ROM's. I even caved and tried out PdaNet and even that doesn't work…maybe it doesn't work with rooted phones or it doesn't like windows seven. Either way it's been almost a month and a half and I still have yet to tether on my Dream. Rather disappointed at the moment.

there are numerous apps for this, I personally use netsentry. I stream last.fm all the time and I still have a tough time even hitting 1GB.

I’m trying to decide if I should sign up for the 6g plan. I’ll on the no-term 1 G plan now and am hesitant to give Rogers any more chances to “own” my wireless life for three more years.

**How can I determine how much data my Rogers HTC Dream has downloaded?** – in this first week I’ve used it (heavily!). Once tethering works this will be crucial to know.

A few times I caught myself happily browsing away having walked too far from my Wifi and unknowingly gone onto 3G!
