Do you get hit with per minute usage fee or cap?

After rooting the droid, I installed the Open Garden WiFi Tether app.
The results were inconsistent.  When I could connect from my laptop and
tablet, both would loose their connections within a few minutes.
Sometimes they would not connect at all.

So I installed CyangenMod 7, which was relatively painless, and tried
again. The results were much better - I read e-mail and surfed for about
15 minutes without any issues.  I have not done a longer-term test, but
it will certainly get a workout on vacation.

Thanks for the suggestions!
Chris
