I wanted to test Joiku spot (app for tethering to wifi on your phone) and did some speed tests. I'm located in populated urban area and it's off peak hours now. Priorly I was using bluetooth for tethering with Nokia 6120 and Thinkpad X61T but this laptop lacks it.
The speeds I got from my laptop tethered to my Nokia E52 are:
1.81 down
1.17 up
ping of 113ms
I have 300MB included in my 25 EUR/month plan, otherwise in most places where I might be (home, office, customers, cafes I go to...) there is Wireless to be found, so tethering is just for emergency purposes or for things like web browsing and chatting on train rides (though once you get across border roaming costs are atrocious and you better switch it off).
Pretty good result, I remember few years ago when I did some testing with USB UMTS dongle I got about ~200kB down 100kBish up.
This is what wired internet at home looks like (10Mb optics)
