Yep, same here.
Any improvement is good. IMO

of course lol

Thanks!

My system already had the second dword as well. I added the first one Dword and did simple mobile speedtest from DSLreports before and after.

I am on Sprint and this tweak definitely made my speed much worse ! Before the tweek I was getting 800-900kbs, after it dropped to half that !

I deleted the dword, ran it again still about 500kbs, soft reset, still 400-500kbs, soft reset again, still 500kbs. One time performance was worse than 200kbs. Finally after going in to connection manager and setting data connection off, then restarting opera, I finally got back to 800-900kbs ! Whew ! Had me scared there a minute.

Not recommended by me ! Thanks anyway !

Why don't you try a larger filesize on the speed test machine. The larger the filesize, the higher the score. Also, if you are in an area with low signal strength, it will be significantly slower, if not fail altogether. According to our coverage map, the signal is supposed to end about three houses down from where I live, but I can do SMS, voice, and very limited EvDo if you sit in the right spot (but there is no point of having EvDo at the house anyway, because WiFi is many times better than EvDo at its highest signal strength, LOL!).

I use the largest file on the simple speed test. It fails if I use the smaller ones and tells me to use a larger file.

Lets do an experiment real quick: Try it on a standard network (either through ActiveSync or WLan), and we'll go from there.

I'm doing my tests using my sprint internet connection. Is that what you were testing and is that what you thought this speed boost was supposed to improve? It definitely made things worse in my case!

That is really all I care about, occasionally I use wifi router or tethering to provide internet to my pc from my phone, but that's the exception, not the norm.

I'm just trying to see if it is slowing things down universally.

The tweak I posted won't necessarily show drastic speed increases using speedtest websites. Basically it just makes the portal wider which should help loading speeds. You will probably see inconsistant results with speedtests. The thread that this tweak was first posted in on xda came to this conclusion.

Thats a 2mb file on a old htc mogul running on the sprint network.
