The WiFi hotspot on my Samsung S3 is about 3 times faster than my home DSL (15 Mbps vs. 5.1 Mbps based on speedtest.net). But ping is much longer on the mobile data network than on my DSL, maybe because my DSL is always connected and the mobile data network likely reconnects on demand as needed.

I have a T-Mobile plan that allows 5 GB/month at 4G, then would slow to 2G (no extra cost like some carriers if you go over). But my phone is normally connected to home or office WiFi, so I have not hit that 4G limit yet.
