Most carriers won't allow unlimited data with tethering. With unlimited plans, they're sized to assume a maximum throughput that the phone can provide. Tethering drastically increases that throughput.<div><br></div>
<div>Yes, you can root your phone to get around it, but i don't think the carriers will look kindly on that, and I'm pretty sure if you exceed the maximums they'll notice. So even though it's "unlimited," it's really not.</div>

One thing to point out.<br>
<br>
Even if you don't think android tethering is easy or fun, or whatever,<br>
it is the only way to use unlimited data, because if you adb tether,<br>
your carrier can not distinguish your computer's usage from your<br>
phone's, and at least with my carrier, Verizon, and my plan, it is<br>
actually unlimited.<br>
