Thanks for the comparison!!

So you guys are saying 154kbps is the best I can expect for using tethering plus or minus a few kb?!

That A VERY WEAK signal.

Are those results typical?

I was hoping to find a way to get around 500 or 600 kbps. Is that possible?

google fieldtrial.exe run it and see what you db's are. its going to be -xx db the closer to 0 the better, but you'll never get any closer than -40. Teradog says he got a good db number once around -40db but dont hold your breath. i think sprint is good up to 1.6 or 1.6 mbps but ive never see it

You are getting the correct speeds. Kbps (kilo-BITS-per-second) is different from KBps (kilo-BYTES-per-second). Advertisments are in BITS, computers show BYTES.

Well thanks to everyone who responded.

It appears to be better now.

On mobilespeedtest.com. Im now experiencing speeds around 600 or so.

What I did was ran a task29 and flashed Sharkies rom. I have a much better connection now.

So in my case it was a rom issue.

Out of curiousity.

WHAT ARE YOUR SPEEDS FOR TETHERING? AND WHAT ROM ARE YOU GUYS USING?

Again thanks to all and you've all been thanked

heres what a crappy morning looks like lol

mobilespeedtest.com

Your speed:606.061 Kbps Your latency:0.266 seconds Transferred 100 KB in 1.32 seconds



speedtest.net.. these 3 were all ran back to back.. shown in kbps, Mbps, and MBps






as you can see, it barely sqeeks in at Sprint minmum shown below:

4G Average download speeds 3-6 Mbps...... Peak download speeds, More than 10 Mbps.... Monthly limit, All you can stream, browse, email, chat, watch and game.

3G-Average download speeds, 600Kbps - 1.4....Peak download speed, Up to 3.1 Mbps 5GB.. Montly Limit 5GB(lmao at 5GB)


So the 600kbps may be ok for you, but your/were really at the almost lowest end possible when it comes to tethering

heres what i got and this is about the norm here around cloumbus. I do find that if im driving and my gf is on my computer the closer to the city we get it will get up over 1mb/s
