What is Speedster?
Speedster speeds up your Internet experience by up to five times using your existing dial-up phone line and modem. It does not require any extra equipment. Speedster allows you to surf at near DSL speed, making Speedster the high-speed Internet solution with the convenience of dialup. It is easy to install, runs seamlessly, and does not alter any of your existing software. You can also control the amount of compression vs. speed gain yourself.

What gets accelerated?
Speedster compresses the following elements of web pages in order to send the information to your computer faster:

  [bullet] Web pages – HTML markup and JavaScript
  [bullet] Graphics including JPEG and GIF images
  [bullet] Text
  [bullet] E-mail - SMTP (sending) and POP (receiving)

What will not be accelerated?
Although Speedster is able to compress many different types of online data, there are a few which cannot be accelerated:

  [bullet] Streaming media, audio and video files
  [bullet] Secure pages, such as online banking and credit card forms
  [bullet] Files and attachments, such as music or digital photos

Additional Features
Other value-added features of the accelerator software include:

  [bullet] Pop-Up Blocker - block annoying pop-ups while surfing!
  [bullet] Integrated Diagnostic Support Tool

How does it work?
With traditional dial-up methods, the text and graphics that make up web pages get sent from the server to you over your phone line. Because of the large amount of data required to be sent, this process can be painfully slow. Speedster compresses this data using a proprietary technology, and sends it over your existing dial-up phone line. This compression process allows a smaller amount of data to be sent - up to five times less - making the download time of your web pages and your online experience that much faster. As an added download time reducer, Speedster stores elements of the web sites you visit frequently eliminating the need to re-download them every time you visit these sites.
