oddly enough i'm getting an download of about 340 and an upload of about 800... i'm trying to figure that one out.. but the battery is dead and i've only got a car charger for it. so it'll have to wait for another day.
speedtest.net continues to give me strange ratings (low d/l and high u/l). so i tried a different site.
for some reason my phone is hanging up the call a lot and then it takes a while for it to realize it neeRAB to re-open the connection, still working on that, but tethering is not a priority for me.
