    Can you do a speedtest at 23:59 and then one at 00:01.
    Post the results here. If you're not awake then do one before 3pm and after 3pm.

    make sure you're tethering and using the desktop speedtest site when doing these speed tests.
  • well at 1am it was in highteens and 9am was down to 2mb
    another thing i found is on a old tg-01 that only has H (not h+ or dc-hspa)
    it can only go up to 7mb but it always seems to stay around 5-7 mb steady.
    why can it when all other modern ones dont. do modern ones say they r teathering and it doesent and if so how do i make the modern ones do it to/
