Smartphone tethering speeds faster than free airport Wi-Fi

Saturday, January 30, 2010

I'm sitting at the airport in New Orleans because our flight has been delayed. I connected via the airport's free Wi-Fi and my download speed was around 633 kbps. Then, I used my Verizon 3G smartphone to tether and I got download speeds of 1482 kbps. Surprised?
