Abstract: For biased random walk on the infinite cluster in supercritical i.i.d. percolation on $$, where the bias of the walk is quantified by a parameter $$, it has been conjectured (and partly proved) that there exists a critical value $$ such that the walk has positive speed when $$ and speed zero when $$. In this paper, biased random walk on the infinite cluster of a certain translation invariant percolation process on $$ is considered. The example is shown to exhibit the opposite behavior to what is expected for i.i.d. percolation, in the sense that it has a critical value $$ such that, for $$, the random walk has speed zero, while, for $$, the speed is positive. Hence the monotonicity in $$ that is part of the conjecture for i.i.d. percolation cannot be extended to general translation invariant percolation processes.
