Just curious, it's not a deal breaker for me, just a curiosity thing.

My Samsung Galaxy S2 allows the KFire to run things at what it says is 5-6Mbps (I'm near San Francisco, which has AT&T's 4G or a hybrid version of it, though I'm across the bay). The Link speed is seen as 65Mbps vs my Home router's 56Mbps on a Netgear N300. I played video on the KFire at a dog park and there was no stuttering of video at youtube.
AT&T supports the tethering, at $20/mo. add'l and it's worth it for me. I ran a Kindle Fire and a Kindle Touch and Kindle 3 at the same time with no slowdowns that I noticed. The KFire was doing video.
