    There are apps that claim to do this, and most of them do it by opening multiple connections for a single resource rather than just one. There are some very serious problems with this.

    1) It uses more resources on both your system and any server you're connecting to because of the excessive number of connections.
    2) Because of 1 and 2, many servers limit the number of connections, meaning the app won't help you at all. Even better, some servers ban people who try to open too many simultaneous connections, meaning that some sites will stop working for you while using such apps.

    I'd recommend is disabling QOS Packet Scheduler in your modem's network properties. It uses up bandwidth to basically measure how well the connection is working, and when dealing with a modem every bit of bandwidth is precious.

    I don't think you understand what I'm saying: programs like the one you're asking about damage the internet, and are likely to just make your connection slower anyway.

    There's no way I'd encourage you to use such a program given the above.

    Encrypted connections use up some of your bandwidth as part of encryption, so they actually slow it down. Compression will help speed up connections in situations like what you're describing.

    I don't know much about mobile apps in general, but I'd expect they work very much like desktop browsers streamlined to make them as efficient and simple as possible.
