Unfortunately like ckl already said, bell charges for tethering. There's no unlimited data for tethering but we get unlimited data for mobile browsing. Thus we won't be able to use speedtest.net. mobilespeedtest.com doesn't seem that accurate but unless there's another online test, that's all we can use.

My highest test was 1.2mbps in and around the border between New westminster and Richmond... and this was during the pre-rev A days.

Personally, however, I haven't notice much difference between rev A and non rev A.

I tried it around westside of vancouver and got 400ish and then in richmond, near landsdown I got 160 kbps and this is with having 4 bars. I don't know how you're getting those high speeds. Do we have REV A? I'll periodically try to test it in the different places I go, but still havent gotten anything over 600.
