Another question :P

No, I didn't check come to think of it. The modem hasn't been reset since then though and we've never had that happen before... I'll make note of it now though, just in case!

If nothing else works (or you run low on patience) and either of you has a smartphone, you can actually just use it to tether your PC to your phone's IP. You can play right next to each other if one of you is on the home IP and the other on a smartphone's IP. Not sure if this is frowned upon by the server staff.. but just don't box and I don't really see a problem.

That's a thought.... Not sure if my data plan is big enough to do it though.

EQ is pretty light on the data. Played on a Virgin Mobile card and had no issue whatsoever.

I only get 250 MB a month for data. Don't use it much, so I don't need any more than that

I think I played EQ for about 4 hours using my phone's connection while I was on the road over Christmas-time, and it used like 20 megs. I was also using the forums and p1999 wiki and such during that time, but not too heavily.

Before we got our exemption I used my phone on 10+ hour binges. It still wasn't over 100 MB/s.

Also suggest switching to Sprint. I use on average 3 GB's per month. But then again unlimited plans are vanishing. Sprints will too i time.

I share a plan with a family member, but my data is separate. I live out in the boonies (well, boonies for me anyway... kind of a city dweller-type personally) and Sprint gets no service here. Also not sure if my phone will support it?

Andriods all should work with a free app for USB tether. You would need to grant yourself Admin/Superuser permissions to use the hotspot tether without the increased data charges.

My phone is an earlier type smartphone. I haven't upgraded to a droid or iPhone yet... mostly because I have 3 children and a touch screen scares the daylights out of me :P
