Speed Test Verizon 3G Mobile HotSpot by Kristofer Brozio • September 5, 2010 So it’s Sunday and I’m sitting here getting my oil change, tires rotated etc and I figured I’d bring my netbook along to browse etc. Like if I was on my laptop using the hotspot feature, and I decide to download something that is lets say 3gbs, would that then use up all my data for that month?

T-Mobile is the speediest mobile network for downloading on both 3G and 4G. The network handily beat out its competitors—Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T—in 3G downloading speeds, with an average. Help with mobile hotspot speed (self.verizon) submitted 1 year ago by Killageist. Why doesn't it mirror what my phones download speed is (this is the 2nd time i've tried my phone as a mobile hotspot, the first time being last night which i hardly got to use it)? When i switch my phone over to a mobile hotspot, My speed drops to.

Hey guys,
So i bought a house recently and there is no high-speed internet service available. When I heard Verizon was now again offering unlimited data I got pretty excited. I talked to a co-worker who has a jetpack and he was nice enough to let me borrow his jetpack. I took it to my house last night and attempted to use it. I was able to use it but it took FOREVER when connected to my computer. I used it as a wifi connection on my phone and was able to do a speed test. I was getting 300-500kbps which is extremely slow compared to other speed tests i've seen on here. I then tried using my phone (galaxy S7) as a mobile hotspot. Same thing occurred. Computer could hardly load the simplest of webpages (google.com). I've never used my phone as a mobile hotspot so I know I can't be over the data limit for it. The current plan i'm on (business plan through where i work) is a 60gb shared and i have currently only used 4gb. If i go to the youtube app on my phone i can stream HD videos with no problems. So what am I missing here? The house consistently gets 4G LTE service, although not the best (2 bars). I talked to another person who says they get extremely good speeds with only 2 bars. Any idea whats going on here? I tried the jetpack where I work and I was getting 5mbps+ downloads consistent.

The T-Mobile 4G Mobile Hotspot looks like a chocolate bar and is supposed to be enjoyed like chocolate, too: slowly. This doesn't mean the device's Internet connection is slow, however.
In fact, it's significantly faster than the recently reviewed Sprint MiFi 4082 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot ; it has average 4G download speeds of around 3.5Mbps and uploads at around 1.8Mbps in the San Francisco Bay Area. So why do you have to hold your horses when it comes to enjoying it?
The answer is because of the data plans T-Mobile has for the device. There are three tiers: $85/month, $55/month, and $30/month that come with a data cap of 10GB, 5GB, and 200MB, respectively. These caps don't mean you will be charged more when they're used up; rather, they trigger the reduction of the Internet connection's bandwidth. When this happens, the connection will be throttled down to a crawling speed of just 0.1Mbps for the rest of the month.
Army cadence songs chant. Those are the final words in a bizarre journal left by the last apparent survivor of a platoon that disappeared during the Iraqi invasion in 2003. Trapped in the middle of the desert, they must confront the horrifying creatures responsible for their misfortune, or risk suffering the same fate as that of the soldiers before them. Seven years later, Captain Henderson and Specialist Densler realize that what happened to the 'Lost Platoon' is now happening to them.

While this kind of pseudo unlimited plan seems a better deal than the cost-per-extra-MB alternatives, it can be frustrating when you need a speedy Internet connection, no matter the cost. There's no option for this.
Other than that, the T-Mobile 4G Mobile Hotspot worked well in our testing and offered up to six hours of battery life. The router features the legacy 802.11g wireless standard and can support up to five Wi-Fi devices at a time.
