So there is a large power outage in my area now and after my UPS died all i was left with was my BB and Playbook.

i was able to confirm the outage at Toronto Hydro Electric System

i tried both but tethering is much faster. Probably because its not routing via BES at the office.

Trying to conserve some battery for the alarm clock...just in case ?

I'd bet he's tethering toll free on Bell.

And post late - you can't lose the bet ha ha!

I bumped my plan up to 1GB also, tethering works very well for me so far.
