Who's your ISP? I'd suspect it's the ISP treating tethering traffic differently. I notice that on my phone (AT&T postpaid), my phone and tethered computer even get different IPv4 addresses. I'm not saying performance should be identical if they are sharing an IPv4 address, moreso just showing that ISPs can handle tethering traffic differently.
EDIT: just saw you're on Orange, oops! I don't know how they operate, they could be handling tethering traffic differently from native mobile.
That's wild, I don't even understand how they could allocate different IP adresses, I hope it's not the issue here
Have you tried wifi tethering with it set to 5ghz? That's probably the best option.
I don't have a WiFi card on that computer unfortunately
It might be worthwhile contacting Fairphone support. Could be a driver or other software bug.
That would make sense, I'll try that thank you
Sorry, read the post wrong.
Well actually I checked after your message and my cable is rated for 480Mbps - which is USB2, it does not explain the difference between native and pdanet, but still something to try
I switched years ago to this app to transfer for wirelessly, I get better speeds than usb. Uses your local wifi or internet. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.resilio.sync
