What connection method are you using to tether the two phones?

I've tried both, cable and bluetooth.

With bluetooth, you're doing pretty well to be getting 0.5mbit, this is bluetooth's fault, not the n900's.
With the cable you should have no problems and i'd be more inclined to suggest the slowdown is your provider more than the phone, you may wish to make sure there're no bottlenecks in the actual tethering process though, which you can do by running a speedtest on any number of connection testing websites on your n900 and then on your mac while tethered via the cable, and see if the speeds are the same.

Make sure you manually disconnect the phone from internet (3G) before tethering. If I recall correctly I had the same problem once.

First of all, thank you for every post on maemo.org. It really helped me with my N900.
One of the main reasons I bought the N900 was its modem, but after using it for a while I was disappointed.
Comparing my experience with the Samsung Innov8 (7.2Mbps) the N900 teathering is nothing.
When connecting my Innov8 with my mac I got an average speed of 2.5mbps, while with N900 its down to 0.5mbps.
I really would appreaciate your comments and help.
Sincerely,
Ahmad
