So I run a speed test from my phone and I get around 1MB/s but still don't get close to that when I download files. When I tether to my laptop wireless I get around 100-150Kb/s. When I tether with Wired I get around 100Kb/s.
Any suggestions of what is going on here? It seems that Verizon it allowing me to connect super fast to the speed test but not to everything else.

I just update to 2.2. I have full 4G service at home. When I run speed test via internal Evo browser i get almost 12Mbps when i connect my laptop and run speed test via laptop i get only 6Mbps is it limitation of USB tethering? I would like to try WIFI tether but Froyo not supporting WIFI tether yet. Just in case i am running rooted 2.2. Any body can veryfy limitations?

I have similar. 6 on the phone but less than 1 on laptop. I also tried EasyTether with similar result. Before update it was just flying over usb. Very strange.
Any ideas, fixes?
Thanks
Wifi tether is working with stock rooted.

Nevermind my laptop switched to optimum router while I ran test. So I am back to 2mbps.
My phone get's 5mbps on the phone but via wireless tethering it only manages to push 1mbps....Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or it it's just me?
Shouldn't wireless tethering be close to the speed on the phone?
my evo isnt rooted but i get 11mb down and 1mb up. i use easytether. i had a mt3g rooted just for wifi tether and i dont think it was worth it. yeah it was fun and all but not worth it just for the wireless tether.
anyway i get this while tethered via usb: its also in my sig
Okay so I've tried 4 different types of tethering on my phone.
Wireless Tethering (Works great)
USB Tethering (Works great except no 4G)
PDANET (Works but NO 4G / Random Disconnects)
Easy Tether (Works the best , WITH 4G, but random disconnects)
So wireless tethering is fine and that isn't my problem.
PDANET along with Easy Tether for some reason both keep dropping connection randomly. It could be 20 minutes, it could be 1 minute, it could be 10 minutes, but the dang connection keeps getting dropped for some reason. I've tried looking and settings left and right but I don't know what it is and I don't know how to fix it.
USB Tethering with Froyo works great. I don't get any dropped connections except the dang 4G won't work! I get 2 bars in my apartment, but as soon as I run USB Tethering, 4G drops, 3G runs, and 4G scans, finds sprint, and drops.
I don't have 4G issues with my phone at all, only tethering with PDANET and USB Tethering.
If I can get some help from you guys, it would be either of these >>
Easy Tether : Figure out how to stop the random disconnections
USB Tethering : Figure out how to make 4G stay and let me connect with 4G
I have tried looking online for 4 hours. Every page on google has been turned purple because I visited them all. I need some help
easy tether cannot be fixed, usb tether cannot have 4g
that sux with over 10000 chars
I work in a place where there is no wireless connection for my Epic and very bad data reception - however, there have been times when I need to get online with my EPIC and can't get a signal strong enough to support it -
is there something I can do to share my laptops connection thru my office's network? I wasn't sure if I could wirelessly or with wire tether my epic to my computer and take advantage of the internet connection I get thru my ethernet connection. I know I can tether my epic to connect my lap top to the internet but I didn't know if I could go the other way or not?
Any thoughts or is this a hopeless cause?
Dunno if this works for the Epic but http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793102 might be helpful
I think I know the answer to this but just wanted to ask around and gather opinions. I tether the connection from my S3 to my N7 quite a lot and there are times when I see variation in data transfer speeds while doing stuff that does not need internet. For e.g.: the other day I was uploading a file from my N7 to my S3 using an FTP server running on my S3. This did not involve Internet since it was a device to device transfer. The devices were placed at the same spot all the time. What I noticed what that there were instances where the transfer speed dropped to under 100 KBps.
Sometimes the speed was in the upwards of 3000+ KB/s and would stick there for quite some time before dropping back. I was using an FTP client which was reporting the transfer rate.
Hence the question, is there anything like one tethering up is better than the other in terms of speed or do they all use the underlying infrastructure and have no control the speed what so ever?
Also, does anyone know of an app or a widget that reports the transfer rate of a tethered connection?
Thanks.

I guess Tethering apps wont limit speed!
