rids,
iPhone 4s tethering is a bit on the slow side I feel. Make sure you got the 4g symbol on (on the top of the screen next to the connection bars), and not 3g. If you can't see 4g or 3g then turn off wifi as you might have that on and connected in which case it will show the wifi symbol there instead. Also goto appstore and search for 'speedtest' and download the speedtest.net app.
This app will let you measure your data speed. So wherever you plan to use Personal Hotspot, first run the speedtest. This will give you an idea of how good/bad your data connection is. If it's bad, then your shared internet will also be slow.
Whether its normal for your connection to drop off every now and then relies on a lot of things, maybe SL can help out with something here ;)
I'd say try the speedtest thing. It might be your data coverage in your area is low/congested or you're far from the towers.
