Depends on where you are really if it'll work. In some places the smartphone as a router works pretty well, in others it's grossly slow. Pretty much if you're out in the country it'll probably be pretty slow, if you're in a well connected city though it can be reasonably fast. Best way is to find a friend that'll let you try their's where you live and see if it'll be fast enough to suit you. I've got now a cell modem for my laptop and while it works here, the cell tower's too far away and it's pretty slow. Course my DSL is too .

Cable ends 125 feet from here and they won't run it to the house, figures.
