Share Via
Wifi: You can share your internet connection over wifi wireless technology. With this you don’t need any kind of wire; you can share your phone’s internet to any wifi enable device.

Bluetooth: It is another wireless technology just like wifi. You can share your phone’s internet using Bluetooth too with any Bluetooth enabled device. The difference between sharing internet via Bluetooth and wifi is with Bluetooth you will get less range of network in compare of wifi and another thing is that you can’t share high speed internet over Bluetooth, which means you will get lesser speed even on high speed interent. You can’t share your internet with multiple devices together, only one paired device can use that internet.
USB Wire: Another way of sharing internet is with your USB cable. With this surely you will get fastest internet speed, means you can even share high speed internet. But only drawback is you will get wired network using this. Plus you need windows vista or higher version of windows for sharing internet of your phone with usb cable. I guess it is not working with Windows XP, for that you need to do something extra work. In USB tethering also you can share internet to only one device.
