What is Internet Accelerator?

It's the fastest Web Accelerator on the market! If you surf the Internet using a dial-up connection, you are painfully aware of how slow Web pages load. Internet Accelerator is a subscription-based service that works with your existing dial-up connection, allowing you to increase your surfing speed up to 5 times. So, pages that previously took almost 30 seconds to load, can now be viewed in less than 7 seconds, on average.
  • Blocks annoying pop-up and banner ads
  • Available anywhere there is a telephone line.
  • Requires NO new hardware.
  • Is easy to install -- a few clicks will download it to your PC!
  • Costs just pennies a day and gives you accelerated access to all your favorite Web sites.

How does it work?

Internet Accelerator is designed to provide maximum acceleration for the Web sites you visit regularly.

So, the more you surf, the faster your favorite pages will load!

Specifically, Internet Accelerator speeds up the delivery of Web pages four ways:

  • Compression. Internet Accelerator delivers text and graphics more efficiently, using a proprietary compression technology that significantly reduces the size of Web pages and page elements sent to your browser.

  • Caching. Internet Accelerator improves upon your browser's caching ability. Internet Accelerator intelligently retains and reuses Web pages and page elements that have previously been sent to your PC. That's why the longer Internet Accelerator is in use on your PC, the faster your Web pages will load.

  • Persistent Connections. Internet Accelerator uses proprietary techniques to carefully manage and optimize the communication between your modem and our network of servers through a persistent connection. This eliminates the time wasted re-establishing and closing TCP/IP connections.

  • Optional Content Filtering. Internet Accelerator lets you block unsolicited content, such as pop-up ads and in page ads, which contributes to long wait times.

How fast is it?

Performance Boost

With Internet Accelerator, Web pages load an average of 3 to 5 times faster. The more regularly you visit specific Web sites, the better the performance you will receive.

Here is an example of tests we ran with and without Internet Accelerator.

All text - HTML, markup, and javascript Streaming media, and audio and video files
Most graphics & photos - including jpeg and gif images Secure pages, such as those used for online banking and credit card forms and pages accessed over VPN
Most banner ads - including animated gif images and Macromedia Flash content Files downloaded outside your browser using ftp
All browser-based emails
All emails that contain images - even when read in a dedicated email program
MP3 files, executables & other files - when downloaded from within your web browser (depending on the quality of your connection).

Block Advertisements with Optional Content Filtering

  • Optional Content Filtering. Internet Accelerator lets you block unsolicited content, such as pop-up ads and in page ads, which contributes to long wait times.
  • Pop-up windows. Internet Accelerator can block pop-up and pop-under windows that clutter your screen and slow down your surfing. You'll hear a noise and/or see an icon each time a pop-up has been blocked. It's easy to see a pop-up that was blocked, to allow some pop-ups to always be shown and to turn the feature on and off.
  • In-page ads. Internet Accelerator can block most advertisements that appear on web pages. When an ad is blocked, it is replaced with a light gray box on the web page, to make sure that web pages maintain their intended design. You can easily view blocked ads by right clicking on the gray box. As with pop-up blocking, you can turn this feature on and off any time you like.
