Default 4G tethering

Do you guys think 4G tethering will ever be as fast or quicker than home Cable/DSL? Right now I have an unlimited data plan with 4G, and I have been thinking about possibly canceling my DSL service and just using my phone to tether for my internet. Good idea or bad?



Oh and Im with Verizon if that helps any.

It could be faster, but you're relying on a rapidly changing infrastructure. I would not do it. It's likely that 100 more subscribers would bring down the 4g to a trickle. I had considered doing this myself at one point, but it does not seem like a good idea when the cable bandwidth is much more reliable.
