In somewhat of an ironical situation that makes you want to laugh and pull your hair out like a mad man, I’ve discovered that the Internet Sharing application on the Fuze is totally unusable–it was so slow that it took over five minutes for DSL Reports to load the home page let alone a speed test. I’ve been playing around with my friend’s HTC Fuze on AT&T trying to get things setup for him and had applied the registry modifications to enable internet sharing, which let the application run and not terminate an internet connection. However, the connection is really slow.

I tried WMWiFiRouter next, which does pretty much the same thing as the built in Internet Sharing but also allows sharing the connection via an ad-hoc WiFi network in addition to USB and Bluetooth tethering. WMWiFiRouter costs $25 versus free for the other. Instead of going through USB or Bluetooth, I used the WiFi sharing feature of WMWiFiRouter and it is much, much, much faster. Over the WiFi connection, I averaged 1,048 Kbps and 70 Kpbs to upload. Although the upload speed could be faster, the download speed was great.

I wonder what is going on with Internet Sharing on the Fuze and if it has anything to do with AT&T. I know it’s not the computer as the Tilt did pretty well and it seems that WiFiRouter did a good job as well so it can’t be the phone. Anyone with thoughts? How is your Internet Sharing experience working out?
