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.

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.
