Bluetooth Tethering - capped?
 

Not sure if anybody else has checked... Tether up with BT and post your speedtests here. Here is mine to start...

This is tested on my Dell E1705 notebook, with built-in BT 2.0 w/EDR (BT355 module).

For whatever reason, the connection speed hits the wall at 400Kbps. If I tether via USB or WiFi in the same location I get 1500-1800Kbps download speeds.

I just want to see what others are experiencing, to see if maybe its not just my particular Broadcom built BT chipset.

Thanks IMCOKEMAN for the quick edit ;)

Anyone have some input on this?

You're definitely not getting EDR speeds, but well within the norm from my experience using BT on both the 6700 and 6800.

Yeah, I know for sure that the speeds I am seeing are not what they theoretically could be. I just wanted to see if it might just be my 2.0 EDR module that is keeping it capped at 400 or if other users are finding the same thing I am...

I've never tethered my 6700 and 6800 through bluetooth for this reason. Mine were always about that speed and noticably faster with USB. I haven't tried with my Pro yet and probably won't just because wifi is so easy to use and more devices have wifi that bluetooth in my world.
