I decided to test the speed of my new Google I/O HTC Evo 4G's hotspot. It is running Sprint's new 4G service which has pretty good reception from my apartment. As you can see the download speed drop significantly after the first test but after that stayed pretty consistently around 1 Mb/s. Apparently 4G is supposed to average between 3-6 Mb/s but I have yet to see it.
I actually wrote this blog post and uploaded this images while still using the hotspot. :) I even watched a full episode of Eureka from Hulu without a stutter or buffering. And on 480p no less! Echofon, Gmail, Google Reader, and Dropbox were all running the entire time.
I'm not yet ready to hang up my wired connection. But wireless is getting pretty awesome.
