I'm asking because for the past several months I've just been using my Android tethered to my computer. The connection is slow. Real slow. For real small downloads it's ok. Few minutes and done. But if it's anything large forget it. For example, I downloaded the new nVidia drivers today, took about three hours tethered. I've been downloading the HD Texture pack for Skyrim for the past three weeks; it was at 52% when I came home today.
So, needless to say, using a cell phone tethered to a computer is good for quick things if you have good service; I do not have good service, my phone drops to 1x constantly.
I just turned my highspeed back on. I got tired of the slow connection and I want to play Skyrim and all the cool new mods I've downloaded over the past several months.
