ACCELERATE YOUR WEB SURFING
Computer Wares
now has available to our dial-up customers acceleration technology
that will speed up your web surfing to near broadband speeds. This
service is available for $1.50 per month added to your regular bill.
To sign up fill out the form below.
How it works
-
The
dial-up accelerator uses proxy servers deployed on the Internet Backbone
in North America, Western Europe, Central and South America and in
Asia Pacific. The network is redundant and fault-tolerant with automatic
geographical load balancing among the servers.
-
The
proxy servers and Accelerator software use proprietary data compression
technology that is far more effective than the normal compression
technology based on public standards. The state-of-the-art compression
technology compresses text data up to 10x and image data up to 3x,
far higher than public standards.
-
A
multi-point caching mechanism further speeds downloading of graphics
and static files.
-
On
average, DNS lookup on these servers is much faster, given the proximity
of our computers to the DNS servers.
-
Conversion
of GIF image files to JPEG lowers the amount of data on a Web page
(GIF files tend to be larger).
-
Persistent
connections to our servers eliminate frequent creation of TCP connections.
-
Suppression
of banner ads saves additional bandwidth needs.
-
Prevention
of annoying pop-up ads before they reach the desktop reduces download
time and also increases privacy (many pop-ups contain cookies). The
Pop-up Removal feature blocks pop-ups, pop-unders and exit windows,
while allowing for 'legitimate' pop-ups.
- Blocking of web
"bugs" that are used by advertisers to track Internet users
will further protect your privacy.
- The dial-up accelerator
will not speed up some file downloads. These items may not be cached and are already
more than likely compressed.
- Image quality is
reduced to speed up download times. Therefore, if a high quality image
is required simply bring up the client settings and change the desired
image quality and refresh the page. All settings are under complete
control of the user.
System requirements:
Browser - Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher, or Netscape versions 4.07 through 7.0. OS - Win98, Win Me, Win XP, Win NT 4, Win 2000. Hardware: PC, 2MB of disk space and 3 MB RAM. MAC is not supported.
