Personal Hotspot on my iPhone 4S 16GB... Poor Connection Speed!

Hi there,
I recently discovered about using my 3G internet and switching on Personal Hotspot to gain a new Wi-Fi spot when out and about. On my iPad 2 its connects first time but is VERY slow! On my laptop i need to restart phone turn personal hotspot and change the password EVERYTIME I use it!
Why is the internet so slow. It will take over 1 minute just to load google!
I have 500mb internet each month on t-mobile and have only used 18mb this month so I have plenty left!!
How can I make it faster or fix it?!?
Thanks
Lauren

The internet speed is determined by your carriers network. If you think it's too slow, contact your carrier.

I have personal hotspot in my iPhone 4S I can connect to my phone but no Internet connection

I can connect to my iPhone hot spot with no problems but I have no Internet
Please help, cellular data is on, also my computer gets IP address subnet and gateway,

I'd first be sure the Hot Spot service is provisioned correctly with your cell provider. I'd then follow the restart/reset/restore troubleshooting path.

What happened to my personal hotspot on my iPhone 4 with 6.01 OS? How do I get it back?

What happened to my Personal Hotspot on my iPhone 4 6.01 OS? It has disappeared, how do I get it back?

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.
No joy, then talk to your carrier about tethering.

Why missing personal hotspot in my iphone 4s after upgrade ios 7 ?

why missing personal hotspot in my iphone 4s after upgrade ios 7 ?

I'm having the same issue (iOS 7.0.3 on 5s).
Had Sprint add Wi-Fi Hot Spot to my account today, went to set it up, and there's nothing in Settings for "Personal Hot Spot." Apparently it should appear underneath "Cellular" but it's just not there.
Resetting network settings didn't help. And Sprint doesn't know why it's not there either.

My cellular provider is mtc touch in Lebanon middle east . As for the FaceTime issue it's banned in some countries not all not in lebanon at least but since my phone is from the UAE I don't have FaceTime on it.

Depends on whether your carrier supports Personal Hotspot & how/if they charge for this feature. Some carriers include Personal Hotspot as part of your data plan, some require it be provisioned on your account. Contact your carrier & see what their requirements are. The fact that you have the Personal Hotspot setting indicates your carrier supports this feature.

Do you pay for a tethering plan? This is a feature that has to be activated by your carrier and is generally NOT free.

Not all cellular carrier plans support personal hotspot. If that isn't the issue, there may be something else in the following that will help: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756

I cannot use personal hotspot on my iphone 4 after update ios 7.1

I cannot use personal hotspot on my iphone 4 after update ios 7.1. Please help me.

The update may have caused a change in identification for the network. Also, you never answered if the network appears ready on the phone to share. You may have to reset the network, and forget the network on the iPod Touch and the computer before attempting to connect again.

How can I circumvent ATT's $50 a month fee to set up a personal hotspot using my iPhone 6?

How can I circumvent ATT's $50 a month fee to set up a personal hotspot using my iPhone 6?

AT&T does not do hotspots with unlimited data accounts. They are wanting you to change to a different account (I am assuming family plan) but there is no $50 fee per month for hotspot. You would be better served to go to an AT&T corporate store and do some rate comparisons.
There is no way to go around that limitation that can be discussed here. If you do stray elsewhere to do so keep in mind that if AT&T detects you going around the limitation it will get quite expensive.

Personal hotspot on my iphone 5s operating ios7.1.2 doesnt work. my work laptop can see it and the phone initially registers contact but then it seems to give up and the connection always fails. i have tried resetting settings, switching hotspot on/off, switching 4g on off and nothing seems to work. it worked fine on the same service plan with EE on my old 4s. can anyone help?

Dear brothers
Thanking you so much to be interested about my answer but what I figured out is as long as you bought your iPhone from gulf or Arabian area it will not has face time application cause I think apple has made special software for Arabian areana to privent facetime according to special request by phone cells companies and one of my friends has told me if you want to make sure that your iPhone not for Arabian areana you should check the model number on your iPhone backside if it ends with 29 it means it's for Arabian countries if other numbers it's gonna be for US. Or Hongkong so it's ok
That's all I could know if you have another solution just please let me know
Thanks for all answers

Ipad 2 loosing personal hotspot link to iphone 4

The issue is;
I have a iphone 4 from verizon. I have a ipad 2 wifi, no 3g. I bring up the personal hotspot on the iphone and connect the ipad via wifi. The link connection appears and then starts to blink randomly and disconnects in a matter of a few seconds. There are time I have a connection for about 30 seconds and then it is gone al together. I have tried all of the regular steps, forgetting the network, reset network settings, etc. short of restoring the devices, which I find hard to believe is a solution to the issue. Both devices have the most up to date software, both devices are able to connect to other wifi sources. The hotspot can be seen by other devices and can support attachments to other devices, laptops etc. Since both devices can connect to other wifi sources I have a hard time believing its a wifi issue. I'm starting to think this is a proximity issue, or signal interference.

I think you are running into the following issue.
From: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
Note: If you leave the Personal Hotspot screen or put iPhone to sleep, iPhone only broadcasts the Wi-Fi network for an additional 90 seconds. If no devices join the Wi-Fi network during that time, iPhone 4 stops broadcasting your Wi-Fi network. You can start broadcasting your Wi-Fi network again by tapping Settings > Personal Hotspot.
So, if I understand correctly, if you you leave your iphone on the the Settings --> Personal Hotspot screen, than it shouldn't disconnect.
