Sure did...

Phone tethering, the USB dongle or the mobile hotspot?  

I was shopping, but not for the Superbowl.  Just raiding the grocery store.  
 
I may not even watch the Superbowl.  The only times I ever faithfully watched it was four years in a row, when my team was in it, but lost all four times.  You can guess who I mean.  Haven't watched it much in the years since.  

The mobile hotspot. Works a treat if you're just browsing, and right now it's actually streaming Netflix and allowing me to browse.  Downloading big files, though, seems to choke it and it gets very, very slow.

Ah.  It might come in handy when you really need it, so that's a good thing.  

Have used hotspot as a backup for quite some time. ATT&T here, it is fast sometimes and slow others, not unlike satellite really. Big killer for me is the cost especially since I have Ultra plan.

Exactly. I only have a small bit of data, but it can help in a pinch.

Verizon is a bit more expensive than HN, but it's not prohibitive, and now you can carryover data -- which is why I had more data to play with. 

I think I will pounce on the Ultra plan if it's ever available here.

Truth be told there are posting seasons here.. Testing periods for college, summer and winter break...then a little after Christmas when everyone gets new gadgets. 

But as for this weekend, it could have been the Lady Gaga concert on Sunday. 

*Shivers in fear* thank god I avoided watching TV...  Back to editing videos I go!
