Internet with $5.99 plan

[Mavelex]

I found this site that helped me get the internet with the $5.99 plan. It's originally for the Dash but also works for the Shadow.

Works for me

Ya, I found these settings in another forum couple of weeks ago.
Works like a charm.

Only thing tho, Streaming programs like (Mundu Radio) will not work.
Unless anyone know a hack for that too.

It's blocked by the proxy. I just ponied up for the total internet plan. It's so much faster than that proxy, and I'm streaming di.fm over edge right now.

[Che Guevera]

So how fast would the internet be over the proxy. Is it even worth getting. I mean if the speed is slow, then even the 5.99 would seem not worth it.

Bump. I'm curious about the speed over proxy as well...

[smoy]

i don't know the normal edge speed but over proxy is slow esp email. email takes a good minute to download.

will it still run the streaming programs if you connect via wi-fi after you change these settings (if you have the TCPMP program) ?

You can test your speed by going to http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed on your phone browser.

I'm getting my replacement Shadow on Monday and I'll post my results using the T-Zones proxy.

With decent signal at home using the $5.99 plan with proxy:

45kbit/sec
1.754sec latency

[smarterthanu]

so what does this mean? can you get the 5.99 t-zones plan to work faster?
or would it not work at all without this fix??
