i rarely tether,when i do its usually when my home internet connection is down. but when i do it seems that my speeds arent much slower than that of my home internet connection (comcast xfinity) its only noticeable when i try to watch HD videos on youtube or those larger than 3 mins in length. once i downloaded songs on limewire (before it got shut down) i was getting speeds of around 150kbps and i know that file downloads usually use about 10% of the max speed of the internet connection so i guess my actual connection speed was 1.5mbps and this is through bt tethering.
