Android Apps That Boost Smartphone Internet Speed

Posted by Chris Iteh 

A while back, I promised to bring you some of the best Android apps that enhance the internet speed of your
device. Well here I am fulfilling that promise.

Poor internet signal has been a cause of irritation to most people in Nigeria, making them to move from one internet provider to another. Despite the coming of 4G cellular network which allow us to have access to the Internet wherever we are, some still complain of slow speed.

So here are some apps that I think can boost your Android internet speed to a tolerable level. Note that some of them only work with rooted devices.

Internet Booster & Optimizer
Internet Booster & Optimizer app can help enhance the speed of your internet browsing experience by increasing the priority of your foreground process and decreasing priority of background apps and services. Though the speed boost is determined by the available Internet connection from your Internet Service Provider (ISP), the app can still improve the speed by pausing secondary apps that are using Internet, flushing the DNS and cleaning the RAM & cache memory to optimize them. It works on both rooted non-rooted devices. 

Faster Internet 2X
Another app that works fine with both rooted and non-rooted Android devices. Just as its name suggest, Faster Internet 2X can boost the internet speed by about twice the normal rate of what is available. The app uses special programming scripts and tactics to achieve this feat. This is probably the kind of app one who loves watching online videos and movies or who wants to download huge files faster will want to lay hands on. The app can also improve your signal reception. And it displays ads that can be disabled.

Internet Speed Booster
Internet Speed Booster is an easy-to-use app that runs in less than 1 MB in size with minimal design. It uses some kind of algorithm that can increase the Internet Speed of your Android device with just a single tap of your finger. The app is designed in a way for it to work with rooted and non-rooted Android devices.

Internet Booster (Root)
Internet Booster (Root) uses a different method for getting more out of the available Internet connection. It will basically change your phone’s configuration system ROM to increase the Internet speed of 40% to 70% higher than before. Internet Booster (Root) only works with Rooted Android Devices which means you would have to allow the Super User privileges to run this application properly. Good news is there are no ads.

Free Internet Speed Booster
Free Internet Speed Booster is another Android app that may help you to speed up your internet on both mobile network as well as Wi-Fi. It increases the Internet speed from 40% to 80% by improving the Ping latency (if you love playing multi-player games), stopping unnecessary background apps and managing a balance between parallel connections. Free Internet Speed Booster does not require a rooted Android device and is free to download.

Internet Speed Booster 3G/4G
Internet Speed Booster 3G/4G app is a nice app that is specially designed for those using 2G internet network. It significantly improves the Internet speed from 30% to 40% which enables 2G network users to enjoy browsing experience at a speed equivalent to that of 3G/4G Internet speed. What this means is that you can enjoy faster downloads, faster site browsing and be able to stream and watch videos right on your Android powered device as if you are on 3G network. But the speed depends on the strength of the signal coming from your internet service provider (ISP). This app can work for both rooted and non-rooted Android phones.

Internet Speed Master
Internet Speed Master is an app that’s specially designed for rooted Android devices, but it can also work well on non-rooted Androids. The developer claims this is a “known Linux tweak”. The app adjusts the TCP/IP settings by changing the system files to boost the Internet speed of your Android. With this tampering of the system and since the app requires root permissions, it’s recommended to make a backup of your device’s content before using it. The app can support all ROMS.

3G Speed Booster
3G Speed Booster is a small sized app that is specially designed work for only 3G networks. The app monitors all background apps that are using Internet and disables them in order to reduce the bandwidth consumption and increase the Internet speed to your Android device by up to 2 times.

Network Speed Booster
Network Speed Booster app has simple and easy user interface. All you need to do after installing the app on your device is to tap on the Booster button and sit back as the app provides you with an improved internet speed. Network Speed Booster disconnects you with present network connection and reconnects providing you with better signal reception & internet speed.

Network Signal Speed Booster
Network Signal Speed Booster app provides better internet browsing and faster downloading by checking 3G and your WiFi connection in your phone and accelerates it with just by one-tap action. Network signal speed booster can speed up internet transfer up to 17%. This app lets you reconnect to the strongest, fastest network signal available.

Internet Turbo Booster
This app is probably one of the best Internet Turbo Booster and internet Optimizer for Android smartphones. You only need to perform one click to get faster internet speed and boost your broadband for free.

Super Android Speed Booster
With just 500 KB in size, Super Android booster app not only helps you to boost your internet connection but also significantly improves the performance of your android device. It runs various script on your Android to enhance internet connection, reduce the resource consumption and clear cache memory.

Internet Booster
Internet Booster app promises to boost up your slow internet connection speed by 25-50%. The app improves internet speed by simply clearing the DNS cache, change Android files settings and speed up files downloading, improves the latency, provides better video pre-buffering, faster opening websites by short time of refreshing. This app also stops unwanted background apps that use network.

So you have it. These here are some of the best I could come on Android apps that boost internet speed. I hope this list will surely help you to boost your internet connection. It doesn’t hurt to get a bit of a boost when it comes to getting a faster Internet connection.

Tell me what you think about these apps and which internet boosting app you think is great, or that I did not name in the list.
