iphone tethering on Telus uses data connection, not WiFi connection.

I used Wireshark and watched the packets from the Apple network interface and the wired network interface.

With the Laptop on & plugged into both the wired network and the iphone all the packets seem to go through Laptop wired connection, not the iphone connection.

There were occasional single packets coming from the iphone. probably just keeping the connection alive.

The IP address at whatsmyip.org was listed as 24.68.57.158.

With the Wired plug disconnected all packets were coming from iphone. The address at whatsmyip.org was a telus ip address.

Using Safari on the iphone, the IP address was the local wifi network address, not the Telus address.

So the iphone uses the wifi address for it's browsing and the attached laptop is using data packets from Telus unless it has an alternate connection.

I didn't try wireless on my laptop but I assume it'll work the same as the wired did.

actually with Fido you can build your own iPhone plans as well… you don't have to choose their premade ones. You can get a $50 plan with unlimited texting, 100 daytime min(per second billing), unlimited evenings and weekends, 500MB of data and no SAF or 911 fees… maybe you should all look more into it before you go making statements. add $10 and get your visual voicemail and caller ID. It's the add ons that you have to look at when you choose a carrier. Fido's add ons are cheap.

I'll probably go with Telus. As a previous Bell customer, I couldn't imagine giving them any more of my money, not to mention the terrible customer service. Telus so far has been pretty good to me. My cousin has an 8gb iPhone with Rogers and has a hard time using even 1gb of data. But as mentioned earlier, if you plan on tethering this won't suffice. But i think for the average user going from a regular cellphone to smart phone, even 500mb is enough. Quite excited for the 5th when Telus will have this available.

Globalive is not entering the market as they are owned by Egyptian oil lords, Public mobile is out of the picture and Dave wireless is virtually nothing at all

get your facts straight. their plan for $40 offers no texting and no data and does not even qualify you for an iphone. Maybe do a little research before you make a statement. Fidos cheapest iphone plan is $65 dollars for 250 min, unlimited texting and 500mb data. check it out http://www.fido.ca/web/Fido.portal?_nfpb=true&amp…
