I would copy down original #'s just in case you want to revert back for some reason!
I haven't tested it enough to know what Sprint is blocking/filtering/throttling and why. There are several potential reasons including:
- The proxy may be throttling bandwidth. Since 32k aac+ uses a very modest amount of bandwidth, you may be ducking under a threshold.
- The proxy may be doing site-based filtering. Perhaps the site you're connecting to isn't covered.
- The proxy may be doing content-based filtering. aac+ isn't as well supported as other streaming media. Perhaps it is being overlooked.
- The proxy may be overloaded with connections, and dropping higher bandwidth streams.
Now does it work for the Optimus V?
We have to, since we are using Android: Go into settings, and update the Proxy from there.
Does it work for you? It did for me, speedtest posts in a day or 2.
