The best part of being grandfathered onto the unlimited data plan with Verizon is unlimited tethering!
I pay $29.99 for Unlimited Email & Web, and $30.00 for "4G Smartphone Hotspot" - which is also unlimited. So I get unlimited LTE tethering, which is great - I work from home so I use this to go work from the park, etc.. for a change of scenery. Use about 20GB of data per month that way.
Downside was paying full price for an iPhone 5s.. I am thinking about buying iPhone 6 - with VoLTE I could be on the phone and tether at the same time! That was only thing keeping me from using LTE full time and getting rid of my cable modem connection.
I've recently discovered DrayTek routers - they're apparently popular outside of the states. The 2930 series is rated up to 70Mbps, the 2950 series 90Mbps. There might be beefier solutions in their lineup, but these are the two I was looking at. I came across them looking for a Dual-WAN router - I eventually settled on the 2930 router (non-WiFi) to load balance my Cable Modem and DSL connections. The combined upstream/downstream bandwidth on both connections was more than most entry-level Dual-WAN routers could handle.
My brother's desktop computer was stolen in NYC. He started showing up on Instant Messenger, and some young kids were using the computer and accepted a video chat request! From there I had their IP address. The detective handling the case had no idea what I was talking about, but it turns out NYC (and maybe your municipality) has a computer crimes squad. My brother contacted them directly with the IP address I retrieved, and they were able to recover the computer pretty quickly! So try and find if there is a department that handles electronic fraud, computer crimes, that sort of thing.
My biggest 'pet peeve' is that OS X uses Decomposed Filenames (UTF-8-MAC aka UTF-8 Normalization Form D) and Everyone else uses Precomposed Filenames (UTF-8 Normalization Form C). The problem is, I have an Mac with a nice big Xserve RAID, I can't export it via NFS to Linux/Solaris/whatever clients and expect it to work. If the Linux/Solaris/etc clients try to save a file whose filename contains foreign characters, you get a Permission Denied error. I work at a University with lots of students whose primary language isn't English, so this is a big problem for us. Once we tried to move a bunch of home directories over NFS to the mac and noticed 2GB in files missing - they weren't copied because of the foriegn characters in the filename.
"Most of Apple's built-in file systems use the techniques described above. Two notable exceptions are NFS and UFS. Of these, NFS is the most troublesome because NFS volumes can be shared with non-Mac clients that create files with precomposed characters in their names, and the Mac OS X NFS client does not decompose them before returning them to applications. If the user copies files from an NFS volume to your volume using a naive copy program (like the cp command line tool), the copy program will copy the files without decomposing the names. Thus your file system will by asked to create files with precomposed names. Your file system must be prepared to handle this, as described above."
Well, I'm using HFS+ - which is not prepared to handle this:) Nor is UFS on OS X. This had made it impossible to use OS X as an NFS file server.
Whenever I run into an applicaiton that doesn't work as a regular User, windows provides you with some great tools to see what registry keys and directories are being written to. You turn on failed registry/file auditing and see where you need to change the permissions:

There may be some truth to that:
