Anyone try the tethering feature

Device: Xperia T2 Ultra D5316.

Setup: Phone set to Never automatically sleep the Hotspot, plugged into charger, battery level 90%+, reinstalled T-Mobile Internet settings, 32 GB SD Card installed.

Issue: Tethering doesn't seem to work over WiFi & Bluetooth, 

description:A. Ping times are all over the map, from slightly more on the client device (laptop, ipod touch, kindle HDX) then the phone all the way to Latency Fail.

B. Download speed range from 0 to 0.090 Mbps, when the phone is averaging 8 Mbps.

C. Connection frequently drops, requires RESTART OF THE PHONE to reconnect!

D. USB tethering is not an option. Period. And it doesn't work that well either.

Question: Is this a common problem among people who (try to) tether? Am I missing some setting I don't know about? Any suggestions?

At this point I am inclined to return the phone, but since tethering is critical for me, I am likely to return for credit rather than exchange unless I get some good news.
