    My router is broken at home, so I was wondering until I get a new router. Is there anyway to share my home internet connection through usb or bluetooth?

    I am looking at tethering at the moment and I can only find how to connect my iphone to my mac using 3G. I can't find any solutions to do this in the opposite direction.

    There's a tethering option on the Iphone but I think is only via Wifi, depending your provider and plan might not be included in the plan and be charge extra.

    If it's jailbroken you can use and APP like MyWi to tether via USB, WIFi or Bluetooth.

    I think its only on iPhone 4 over wifi, its over bluetooth and USB on 3 & 3GS, also its limited by some carriers, and / or not included in your monthly data allowance.
