[QUOTE="AUZambo, post: 1156991, member: 22414"] I would have thought that as well, but when I tested my cable modem speed against the 3G speed on speedtest.net the 3G speeds were about 3 times faster. I've used the Wii many times on my slower cable modem without any problems. My cable modem download speeds run at about 0.75 mbps. The 3G connection tested out at about 2 mbps. Their upload speeds are similar in proportion. This is something I wanted to measure IF it worked. The MyWi app displays a running total of MBs of data used. If it was something insane I would simply not use it on the Wii. I am, however, grandfathered into unlimited data so I don't see how I could be violating the agreement unless there's fine print somewhere I haven't read. Before I drop the cable modem service I'm giving this all a test to make sure nothing crazy happens. For the last month or two I've only used my phone to browse the internet on my computer and I've used maybe 3 or 4 gigs of data each month. No ill effects so far. Could be a different story with the Wii. [/QUOTE]
