Tethering on Android
When at the office, I usually have my Clear 4G wireless dongle plugged into my Macbook Pro. I mostly do this so I don’t have to suck bandwidth from our internal network since I stream music throughout the day and geek out on sites like tumblr.
Today is different though; I forgot my dongle. So I resorted to using PDANet with my T-Mobile G2. Since T-Mobile has started using an HPSA+ network, I figured I would give it a shot. To my surprise, it works VERY well in my area.
Here are the results of my SpeedTest:
Not bad, right? Considering I’m in a concrete office building, I’d say that’s pretty good. I have been getting about the same from my 4G dongle, but the coverage area can be pretty spotty. At least with T-Mobile, they have coverage pretty much everywhere; I’m not sure about their HPSA+ coverage though. We’ll see how long it takes me to go through 5GB of bandwidth a month.
Lunch time.
