At any rate, Spring HAS caught on to this, and they WILL cancel your web service if you get caught. Any significant use of the $15 wireless web service in this way would almost certainly get you kicked nowadays.
An alternative (and legal) method is to sign up for the $80/mo sprint unlimited wireless web for laptops. You have to get a PC card, which retails for like $300, but then you'd have decent web access anywhere you have a Sprint signal. Too expensive for me though.
