But a lot of solutions offered online did not work for me. Though the speedtest.net App reported 3 Mbps + of download speed , Apps took ages to install and Youtube simply refused to play and buffered forever.

After trying various methods found online esp changing Wifi from g to b , which i did not want and changing some wifi settings and packet sizes. It did not resolve.

What i found worked for me was using a simple Proxy on my PC and connecting my Iphone to internet using that proxy. Everything seemed to work fine through the proxy ( but i have to keep my PC on ). Youtube plays without buffering, apps install within a few seconds and surfing is really fast.

The proxy i used was free proxy .

Thought might help someone since other techniques online did not resolve the issue for me.

BTW launchcast plays well on my Ipod touch in India , while it does not on normal PC due to ip restriction :) .
