Speed Up YouTube Videos on iPhone with TCP Optimizer

TCP Optimizer is a new and free Cydia tweak that modifies your iDevice's settings to increase streaming speeds and improve its overall internet connection, including Wi-Fi.



To install TCP Optimizer one your iDevice, you must be jailbroken. Add the http://cydia.pushfix.info/ repository on Cydia (or any other package manager) and install 'TCP Optimizer'. The change will be instantaneous without restart.

The package will:
  • Increase theTCP Receive Buffer from 131072 to 292000,
  • Disable TCP delayed ACK's
  • Double the number of possible un-ACK packets from 8 to 16 packages
  • Increase the size of un-ACK packets

TCP Optimizer is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, running iOS 3.1.2 or above; however, the developers advise against its use on second generation Apple TVs. The package can easily be uninstalled by removing the package in Cydia and restarting your iDevice.
