Can use use this on the 6700 Apache?

PPC 6700 owner.

The DNS changes worked for me. Reg edit did not stick after soft reset but, it is much faster.

confirmed the before and after thru toast.net on text file only.

I've always gotten better results after rebooting. Ever since the 6700 I found all I had to do was cycle it through flight mode and it would be fast as hell. With the 6800 and 6900 I've found I have to fully reboot to reclaim enough memory for NetFront to be fully functional on certain web sites. Hell I can't even use my camera without rebooting first.

Just figured I would mention this so when you test you will know to first reboot and test before you do the update... and of course you have to reboot after the update because the registry settings will not be effective until then.

While it is true that DNS will only improve the "Looking for..." times, it is important to consider how many web sites have graphics (ads, etc) that are hosted on multiple DNS addresses, and therefore, faster DNS response would improve those load times since it can resolve and get to that content faster. Moreover, different DNS servers often take advantage of different routes and cache servers (such as Akamai hosted sites) than other DNS servers, so when you're routed to faster servers, you would see faster downloads.

I wouldn't trust it as an end-all-be-all solution, but it can help some people often enough to be worth trying out. :)

All that I have done is change the DNS and I now get 10KB/s Damn 1x Champaign-Urbana...

We have a patent that is shown off in the phone! You would think they would pay us back with EVDO!!!

the one thing that im wondering about is how are you guys having calls and being on the net at the same time. I could never do that, and thats one fea. i would love to have, thats the one and only think that i like about AT&T 8525, Tilt.

You can't have simultaneous voice and data on EVDO so someone must be using wifi... EVDO is CDMA EVolution Data Only...

thats what i thought ohkie, thought i missed something cause i havnt been here in a while

The dns settings stoped working for me :( It keeps on giving me an error while trying to locate a website. "The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again." After setting the dns settings to defult, everythign started to work again. I still have the reg setting set to 5. And i did notice some inprovement, but not being able to connect at all is no fun :)

You probably won't find a faster or more reliable DNS set than 4.2.2.1 / 2

In the ~4-5 years I've been using it, 4.2.2.2 has only been down once - and all of my customers (60+) use those two DNS servers for lookup.
