Re: Tethered speed difference, usb vs wifi

got curious and had to try this again. using the 4g hotspot (still for free! w00t!), I averaged about 2.25. using wired tethering with the paid pdanet I averaged 4.5. I did three back to back tests for each way at 10 a.m. in austin, tx doing the hotspot first. now then, that being said, up until within the last couple of days there was pretty much no difference in speed between the two since I've checked it before. the past couple of days though I have noticed much slower speeds with the hotspot. haven't downloaded anything, changed settings, updated, nuffin.
