I ran some tests to see if this hack works, heres what I found.
First off I have no idea what I am doing so please don't berate me for improper protocol.
I ran 24 tests on speakeasy using Chicago, New York and Seatle(that's 4 times before and 4 times after for those of you keeping score at home).
I varied my approach to installation and removal including powering down the phone(or not) and even removing the hack with an active connection.
I tried to rush and did all of these tests in under 1 hour(6:50-7:30pmCST), in hopes that internet traffic wouldn't fluctuate enough to throw off the results.(Maybe it still did, like I said what do I know.)
Results;
Avg. before hack: 1453.6kbps down & 91.3kbps up
Avg. after hack: 1573.3kbps down & 106.5kbps up
Verdict? Well it seems to work for me but this is all using it as a modem and I don't know if that makes any difference whatsoever. I've tried speakeasy through my phone and it crashes internet explorer every time it gets to the upload part.
Give it a shot, whats the worst that could happen?
I mean my phone hasn't caught fire or anything yet, so it must be all good right?
