Right there in System preferences under Sharing I tried to share my ethernet Internet connection with my mobile. I tested the internet speed on OSX resulting a speed of 4Mbps.
I tried with my Nokia phone: when I connected it via WiFi, shared from OSX, I got on my phone a result of 250kbps. With 3G on the same phone I got 500 kbps.

Why is the speed shared from OSX so slow ? Even my 3G is faster..
