I have tried tethering with my Sprint Centro and it is very slow going. I
can't imagine using that as a replacement even for dial-up. (Though I admit
it has been so long since I had dial up perhaps I am wrong.)  But I also
have a sprint  broadband card and that is superior in speed to the Starband
Satellite we used to have.  Only problem is that all carriers have a 5G a
month limit. That is far less than what we actually use. I signed up before
the limit was imposed, so far they have let it go. It is a good enough
connection most times to watch a Netflix movie, but it is not as reliable a
connection. Certain times a day it slows and even new construction can
change or block the signal.   I have a Cradlepoint router that you plug the
broadband card into directly and then it is beamed to all computer in the
house.  If cable was available, I would sign up in a minute, it is so much
more reliable and unlimited data access for the same money.
