weather it be wifi or wired tether, it loads websites extremely slow, despite the fact of a good test speed on my phone, any idea of why this is happening?

Wifi thether or whichever cant procees your IC's full speed. The G1 is limited by the data chip inside, so internet speeds wil be slower then your desktop/laptop.
Same for me. I've done a lot of testing on this. Any sort of tethering, for me, will not yield xfer speeds in excess of about 700k. That's over USB or BT. My phone itself is capable of around 3000k on Wifi (using the Speedtest apk), but much slower through the browser. Max speed tethering over Wifi won't be known till T-Mo starts rolling out HSDPA. But based on the 3000k link over the phone's Wifi, I'm hopeful that a HSDPA-to-Wifi speeds could be in excess of 700k.
Alright Guys My ISP is Clearwire and i have the no preset download cap and 1mb upload cap. Know its satellite but on my modem i have usually 4 out of 5 bars.
I Live in Fort worth and on speedtest.net it thinks Dallas server is closer haha.
My speed test 1 Dallas Server i live in Ft. Worth
My Speed Test 2 Oklahoma Server
My Speed Test 3 Ft. Worth Server
My problem is when i play black ops on my ps3 i usually get 1 to 2 bars and im hard wired into router and it says i have NAT type is strict or moderate. shouldn't it be open seeing how im hard wired into router?
What can i do to not have this issue? my only options for internet are att and clear and i had att and it was worse than clear. could it be issues with my settings on my computer? any help is appreciated
Also when i actually go and download files i never hit that speed the highest i can hit is 700KB/s and when im supposed to be getting 3 to 6MB/s
Have a look at your ISP Terms and Conditions and their own forums if they have any. Otherwise find forums specific to broadband. It's possible you have a technical issue... it's equally possible that your ISP throttles certain traffic.
If you are getting a certain speed using speedtest, but less with other things, it might point to throttling. What downloads have you tried to test this? Try a simple http download like a file from Google Docs for instance. You may find this running as fast as your speetest result, while bittorrent traffic could be slow.
You should contact your ISP too and see what they have to say about it.

Okay i have contacted them and their retarded to say the least they told me to turn my modem in a circle are you kidding me i did everything they said and nothing ever works. and when i download anything it averages around 300-500kbps
Have a look here:
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/clearwire
Maybe there's something there that can help. I'm seeing a lot of Clearwire hate around. Any other options in your area?

ATT there worse and i was talking to them they have a 6mb connection but its cut in half as advertised
In the past month or so, I've surpassed 15GB of data due to lots of video streaming and some torrent downloading. Since then, it seems that any time I try to download another torrent, my speeds are throttled to less than 10KB/s. I usually use ADownloader, and find it more convenient and (previously) much faster than from my home connection, but now when I resume a torrent, ALL data suffers, and am unable to even browse the web or run a basic speed test without timing out. As soon as I pause/stop the download, speeds ramp back up. I should note that if I switch to Wifi, and use my home connection, speeds come back up to what I would expect. So it doesn't appear to be an issue with the software.
I haven't noticed anyone pointing this out, but it does seem that they will throttle torrent users. What I don't understand is why throttle to such a ridiculously slow speed? At least bring me down to 3G speeds (~1MB/s). To drop me to less than 10KB/s is an insult.
What's next? Will they throttle heavy Netflix users? Amazon Prime streaming? etc. Is there really not enough bandwidth to go around? I might call Verizon to confirm/deny my findings so I can figure out what they actually care about. I have a feeling I'm not going to get a straight answer, or they will just not know what is actually taking place
Are you using tTorrent or another client that will randomize the port? Try picking another random port, it usually fixes it.
Those apps are not gentle on your wireless modems. I wouldn't necessarily assume it was Verizon doing it.
I had talked to a verizon customer service lady over the phone and asked her about throttling and she say there poloicy is to never throttle there customers connection. she uses her hot spot on here thunderbolt and exceeds 10g all the time and has never seen throttling so I would think more that it was your software like the aboved has mentioned
having a lot of simultaneous connections like torrents do can cause issues with the modem and wireless hardware, I've crashed my router a few times getting too torrent happy, I assume doing it with something that wasn't made really to handles such traffic would cause issues as well.
I'm on 3 paying £34/month for "all you can eat data".
I can tether (wi-fi hotspot), but as soon as I attempt to download a torrent it just cuts off my download and I need to reset my mobile data to get anything working again. (this happens when downloading a torrent on my phone also)
I can download through tethering but it seems to be capped at 100kb/sec for ROMs, etc from Safari.
Is there any way to by-pass this? Or will I have to just pay the £5/month extra?
I'm rooted, FWIW...
Thanks
Your on 3, on 3G, which is max 20mbps (mega bits) divide that by 8 to get your true download speed. Which is about 2.5MBps (Megabytes) your only getting 100KB (Kilobytes) that's crap.
What I would do is try your phone on a speed test in different places, so outside. In the city, at the shops etc. See what speeds you get, 3 is an awful network in all honesty. Chances are your only going to get about 7 -8 mbps (max) (megabits) meaning a download rate of 0.93MBps (Mega bytes) which is a lot more than what you have reported, speak with 3 and see what they say, just take a DEEEEEEEP breathe before phoning them, their customer services is utter #%%##%%#£
hope this helps
PS: unless you have made 3 aware of you tethering, they can and will block your tethered device, if you plan to hammer your connection, you will probably want to let them know, saying that I have a friend on 3 who hurts his connection daily and for a few years still hasnt been blocked. Yet another friend of mine got blocked for tethering his iPad for simple browsing.

Well, I get an 'H' connection 95% of the time, I'm usually getting around 9 -11mbps when I do speed tests - it's only when I tether to my laptop or download a torrent it gets sh*tty.
When I first got the phone a few weeks ago I downloaded a 2GB torrent on my phone with its mobile data connection with speeds up to 1.3Mb/sec, it finished in no-time, they've probably had this flag up and just capped me at 100kbps or something, as well as cut off torrents completely.
I just assumed all-you-can-eat would have included unlimited tethering - apparently not... But they are still letting me tether although it's not on my plan - for now, which is pretty cool.
Just came here to ask if there's a root app that would let me by-pass their restrictions before I pay the £5/month. :fingers-crossed:
I know, I've been with 3 before - I prefer a stress ball when I'm on the phone with them...

Three filter all p2p connections on there network it's called traffic filtering and it is pretty aggressive, they do this to increase the overall network speed so it doesn't get bogged down with everybody torrenting.

No app will allow you to pass three's traffic filtering, it's much the same as slowing speeds down at peak times so the network doesn't get stressed and slow down.
I'm pretty sure the £5 per month tethering bundle wouldn't help your downloading speeds while tethered either as the traffic filter still applies it just allows you to share your internet connection with other devices without breaching your terms and conditions within the contract.
Edit: You could try an app called Orbot (a port of Tor) which helps hide your traffic and see if that helps.

Thanks for this seems to be working fine now - downloading file speeds around 700 - 800 kbps. I will probably hardly ever use it but nice to know it works if I need it to...

I have the issue here in HK, the easiest way to bypass this is by setting up a VPN service. Once all your network traffic is going through the VPN tunnel, 3 won't be able to filter anything, as all they would see would be VPN traffic. :laugh:

Can't they just slow down VPN traffic as well?

Yes they can, but realistically, they won't.
VPN is used for all sorts of different things (business and personal), and so, there is no way they can block all VPN traffic without causing a PR disaster.
To the ISP, all VPN traffic will look like VPN traffic, they can't distinguish it between p2p VPN traffic and say Youtube VPN traffic.
Also, there is more than one type of VPN protocol, so blocking all of them will again be pretty difficult as well.

If you got a android device. On playstore theres a app called orbot. I use it with torrent downloads as i had same problem as you. With orbot. Neverget a tether warning and need to reboot

I say slow because they are much slower that a Galaxy S4 and Note 3. At work today we were testing out a Belkin AC router to a cable modem. Using the Speedtest.net app the galaxy's were reliably hitting 200-210 Mbs download speeds. My new One was only able to muster 95Mbs down. I come home and connect to my ASUS N66 router and I'm able to hit 104Mbs reliably. What gives? This makes no sense to me. I verified I had a 433 Mbs link when on the AC router at work, same as the Samsungs, we were all in the same location I even tried standing where they were and holding the phone differently in-case I was blocking the antenna. I never expected to be able to get 104 down at home standing one room and 30 feet for the router. Is there something weird going on with the app maybe?

In WiFi advanced settings, disable WiFi optimization - other uses stated it helped them to increase the speeds.
Settings>WiFi>Advanced

Thanks I read that and tried it to no avail. Speeds were better yesterday at 150Mbs and inline with a coworkers brand new ONE running 4.3. I believe it is just a matter of how HTC deals with packet size (windowing) and not truly indicative of throughput capability. The test runs for a limited time and the throughput increased throughout the entire test. If it ran longer it would climb higher but just how high is the question.
It's a matter of curiosity more than anything as I never need those speeds nor are the repeatable anywhere but in that test"lab" In reality I only have a 100M connection at home and with power boost see speeds of 150 max. I get 100+ reliably (5Ghz N network) to the phone from my main living space and that's nothing to complain about.
I will have to say the range on the ONE is outstanding. My desk is 100 feet from the AP and I was able to obtain 125Mbs reliably from my desk. I didn't have the chance to compare it to the S4 at that distance but I can't complain about that speed.
