They are the same......only the one from vzw costs $20...but you can hack it to get it for free.

i've actually been having troubles with the verizon hotspot, when i use it for longer than maybe 5 or 10 minutes it starts stopping and starting constantly unless i reboot the phone and try again. sometimes it lasts longer. also, the internet speed seems slightly gimped as well, everything seemed to work faster through wireless tether app (download speeds were higher as well).

I've done the hack more than once with different 2.2 ROMs, but I either cannot see it while scanning for hotspots or cannot obtain an IP address (via laptops, handhelds, etc).. So I stick to Wireless Tether.
I find that the 3g hotspot thats built into froyo (with the dun mod hack) is a little quicker... haven't had any issues with it whatsoever.
OK, guys so although I am relatively smart at things all this is new to me so can i ju confirm that the wireless tethering I have on my incred is utilized the same as the verizon mobile hotspot would correct? Meaning the tethering allows my phone to be a mobile hotspot as well??
Worked like a freaking charm... Thanks man your awesome.. Now just curious is there a way for verizon to know that someone is utilizing their hotspot without paying for a subscription? Also, the wireless tethering is the same as the hotspot correct??

I'm still using the android.tether (wireless tether) I got from mejdam on youtube. Not sure if he wrote the app or was just sharing it out, but it works great.
I'll never load up Verizon's Hotspot app. Even with the hack, I just wouldn't trust it but that's me.

Yeah I'm using the android tether as well, but have also opened the mobile hotspot just to have it..
Wireless tether and Verizon
Hey, just to let every one know, Verizon can easily watch you bandwidth usage and if your downloading a lot they will notice that your not paying for it, and having to be rooted to use wireless tether, that's a violation of your contact.... just sayin....
