What is the name of the bandwidth speed a mobile phone uses?
When you use a mobile phone to download using a data connection, what is it referred to as?
For example, with an internet connection in your home, you can download with your cable modem at 1 mb per second, 5 mb per second etc... what is the name of the measurement that they use to describe how fast you can download using a mobile phone. On data connection setting, not on wi-fi setting.
Is this a limit with the phone company like Vodafone or 3 etc.. Or is it related to the phone and its hardware, like for example the more powerful the phone, the faster the download.
The reason I ask is because I will be using a phone for tethering to a laptop or tablet. And I want my internet as fast as possible.
So when I am shopping around for a phone, I need to know what feature it is that describes a phones download speed, so I know what to look out for.
