7Mbps? Shit... I thought I lived rural-ish... I'm doing 100+

Definitely don't do any algo stuff on that... what's the latency? Ping?

Anybody tried to trade from the boondocks where the only internet was on your phone? You can get the net to your laptop tethering it with a USB cord. I was wondering how it effected the connection speed and lag time?

Anyhow I am going to do some experiencing tomorrow.

What kind of ping, download and upload speeds are you getting ?

I have traded ES off iPhone and tethered to laptop over the years but prefer high speed cable isp and have had a good experience. Do you have a back up cell service if your current one goes down ? I've compared my primary cable isp to cellular performance on the dom but can't tell much difference in quote updating or execution but there is a cell tower within 1000 ft of my residence and my cellular speed is frequently 80-120 mb/s


Get the Speedtest app and see what results you are getting.

Last day of the vacation so it is not that important anymore. I actually got 11 Mbps download speeds in the rental. Yes, I had back up, the public library.

(for comparison, the library's speed is only 3 Mbps)

The same question was already asked there anyway. So it was something like that, I hope you really using something like wi-fi on your phone or at least 4G for that stable signal, if you are out of other options - that one could work in travel or so. Otherwise - Home PC

The Wi-Fi hotspot feature lets you share your mobile device's data connection with other devices by turning your device into a wireless access point.
