I was testing from my work desk, which is nested in a massive concrete warehouse building located on the west side of River North in Chicago. Said another way, I was testing from a bad location for signal and speed. (Yeah, that screen shot was not from my phone...)
I also restarted the phone for each series of tests. Each series was a run of 15 download / upload tests via speedtest.net's app, which automatically chose a close server ( sadly, I don't remember if it grabbed a Chicago server or not ).
Also, in addition to resetting the HTTP settings, I also did the same for the RTSP settings. I couldn't say whether this affects the speed tests.
Naturally, you can see, this is anything but scientific:
So, the tweak resulted in a suggested 41% increase in download speed, but a 30% decrease in upload. Meanwhile, the down / up standard deviation decreased by 32% and 40% respectively.
It seems that my phone will now download a lot faster with much more consistency, but will upload slower with the same consistency. Ultimately, better downs with overall more consistent connections sounds great to me!
