On phone 2 bars of 4g is like 7mb down 1mb up

oh darn, I so wanted to swap my tp2 cuz my screen is cracked (still 98% readable), but those speeds aren't much of an upgrade for me.

^The tether speed is not what makes it worth upgrading.

That sucks! I didn't realize the data connection type mattered like that.

For 3G it works great :/

Upgrade to the Epic! You won't be disappointed. And don't worry about the tether speeds right now. Its at least as fast as your TP2, and faster if you're in an area with 4G, so you won't lose anything there, and eventually either Sprint/Samsung or the community will get the speeds way up there. In the mean time you can spend countless hours playing with this phone and saying "Oooh" and "Ahhh" at how much faster, smoother and just overall better it is than the TP2. I tether my laptop all the time and honestly its fast enough for me. Of course, I'm not doing any online gaming, but once the 4G issues are fixed, you should be able to do even that.
