Just set my Netbook (MSI Wind) up with my HTC Desire as an attached (or as the techno kids these days call it, "tethered". While online I ran a check via Speedtest. http://www.speedtest.net/result/940493607.png According to it I achieved a 1.79mbit download but only a 0.2mbit upload speed. It's been suggested that Speedtest isn't the best for speed comparisons. Maybe, maybe not. But it did demonstrate what I could achieve to that particular site. It's improved since the last time I tested it. Then, I got around 0.7 mbps. Speedtest detects me being on Telstra Internet. However, the server which it thinks is closest to me is in Adelaide and I'm somewhere in the middle of Central Australia. Just wondering - it would be interesting for those on other networks to see what performance figures that they achieve at Speedtest. Now, if Speedtest isn't the authoritative site for this sort of thing, which one would be?
