YYYEEEESSSSSSSSS... it does work!!!!!

I went from 116 to 504kbps in my Samsung Admire.

I confirm this works.

THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH!!!

EDIT: I have tested it a few times and I am getting constant speeds between 302-495kbps.

EDIT 2: See attached screenshot for proof on my Admire.

OK.. here's my report.

Stationary speed tests wit 2 bars in homestead/leisure city Florida....

Average results of 3 tests using speed test.net and all three possible IP settings...

Mob IP only:
Ping=324. 6666 Ms
Upload=225. 3333kbps
Download=88. 6666kbps

Simple IP only
Ping=182. 6666ms
Upload=200. 3333kbps
Download=113. 3333kbps

Mob+simple f/back
This soft bricked my phone. Made sounds but wouldn't go past the glowing samgung logo. Fixed by turning on and putting IP setting back to simple IP.

Results:

Simple IP is slightly faster downloading and on ping but 1/8 slower on upload

Mob+simple f/back f/backed my phone.
