I think he may possibly be talking about this. But come on guy, you can't just make a post like that without linking to anything and leave us all hanging :p. Anyway, does anyone feel like trying it out? I'm kinda bored so I might have a look at it

It's a cold and miserable day today here in Melbourne, so this gave me a chance to do something useful :p

Okay so before I installed the app I did a few speed tests to use as a reference, here are the screen shots. Speeds fluctuated and weren't that great, to keep everything fair I plugged my phone in and left it in the same spot during all tests.
I did 4 tests before any tweaking, here are the screen shots.






After the 4 tests, I changed the app settings to max speed and download speed priority and restarted my phone. Speedtest kept saying network error, and I noticed that facebook wouldn't load and IMDB.org took a long time to load, the first succesful speed test was nothing special, it was pretty bad actually.



The second test was even worse

But I was determined to get good speeds, I really wanted it to work, so I changed it to fast instead of max speed, and tried again. I couldn't run a speed test, it kept saying "network communication issues", after trying 6 or 7 times I gave up, then I tried one more time and here is the result



As you can see, the speeds are crap. So I restored all the settings of this app back to default, restarted, the uninstalled the app.




Not the best speeds I know, but better then when I was using those tweaks. So if you're sick of having semi decent 3G speeds, and you want slow speeds and high pings, I highly recommend this app :p All kidding aside, I personally didn't have much luck with it today, the app has plenty of 5 star reviews on the market from people saying it worked for them. Someone else should give it a go and report back.

You should try using the 3g speed thing under v6 supercharger post in general app development (don't have link atm, on phone) and do some speed tests. Don't automatically assume highest is best, they're different for each network, give em a shot and see if it works some magic! For me I got 2x speed :S but I'm on ICS now and I don't think its compatible :(

I guess it depends on carrier and coverage in your area, The 3G/4G optimizer increased my upload speeds in a noticeably MAJOR WAY! Loading this page took 10 seconds flat! (I timed it)

Before this tweak it took about 45 to load anything on xda from my G2
