After checking with Verizon on their mobile Hotspot plans, it isn't feasible. However, I can do it through my unlimited data plan for my iPhone. 3G is faster than the Road Runner service I have.
If I use the IPhone, I can use a USB connection. My centos machine acts as my firewall/gateway on my wired network so the question now is, if I use the USB connection to my centos machine will that bypass the firewall?
Why go through all these contortions? Why not get a wired (or FIOS) drop in your house, and get *much* larger bandwidth (and more secure)? Most of the cable modems or DSL modems they give you these days have wireless, as well.
