Wireless hotspots ALWAYS have speedloss. I have a 32 Mb connection via my comcast cable modem when connecting right to the modem. When I connect through a 108 Mbit router, i get about 12 Mbit. This has been the case with every wireless router / access point that I have tried. So... it would make sense that the same would hold true with wired (tether) vs. hotspot. It becomes a question of whether you need multi connections or not.
