Have tried several ROMS/Radios. Including Rooted Stock, OMFGB, CM7, BAMF, etc..

Have tried several different version of Wireless Tether. 2.0.7 - 3.1B6.

The issue is that I can tether to my PC, but after what seems like a random 
period of time, I lose internet and have to reset the data connection on the 
phone. Once reset, it works fine until I lose Internet again and have to reset 
the data. 

I've seen other posts about similar issues, but all of these describe the phone 
actually losing the 3G/4G data signal. My phone still shows that I am connected 
to 3G/4G when this happens, however I can't send/receive data from the phone or 
tethered device.

The issue gets worse when I have multiple devices connected. Or in my case, I 
connect my wireless router as a client, and have a few computers hard wired 
into the router. When connected this way, Internet only lasts a few minutes. If 
I connect just one tethered computer, it can last up to an hour or so.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with Wireless Tether, or Verizon. I did not 
seem to have this issue a few months back. I have tried every method I could 
think of to resolve the issue. Including trying several ROM/Radio Combinations 
with all different versions of wifi tether. I have even had the phone replaced.

Another thing to note is, once my internet drops, I can still ping remote 
websites. ie. google.com

Anyone have any idea what's going on? Is Verizon cracking down somehow maybe?

I have the same issue with both an HTC Inc and an Inc2 on Verizon.

Sometimes tether lasts a few hours, most times it lasts a few minutes.  I can 
usually get it to reconnect if I toggle "airplane mode."
