Dist Posted May 29, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 29, 2005 they're called web accelorators...........i've already tried to download a few but they always ask for a credit card # Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cak46 Posted May 29, 2005 CID Share Posted May 29, 2005 Check the home page of your ISP. Some give 'em to you free..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepnklown Posted May 30, 2005 CID Share Posted May 30, 2005 Web accelerators only increase the speed when you surf the internet and not when you download or upload anything. If your ISP doesn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob12345 Posted May 30, 2005 CID Share Posted May 30, 2005 i'm on cable but one of my friends has dialup and his isp did give him a free web accelerator from the isp homepage of their site...it helps when he goes to sites but it seems like everything else is the same...i think most web accelerators for dialup don't do much of anything even the ones you buy....

Bones_McGhee Posted May 30, 2005 CID Share Posted May 30, 2005 I thought all a Web Accelerator was was something that compressed the data on a webpage more than normal so it got to you faster. That wouldn't actually make anything faster, just seem that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, but many of the ones I've come acrossed reduce the resolution of images and such on the page, thus "thinning" it out making it "faster".

cholla Posted May 31, 2005 CID Share Posted May 31, 2005 I don't use a web accelerator but as far as I know it compresses data.Basicly the less data loading the faster the page loads .But I want all the data so if its slower its slower. This is the same thing some dial-up ISP's offer you for an extra 5 to 10 dollars a month.They just do it with there equipment instead of yours making it seem faster.

6arett Posted May 31, 2005 CID Share Posted May 31, 2005 Hey buddy, using an "web accelrator" just puts spyware on your computer...No.. you cant make 56K faster either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted May 31, 2005 CID Share Posted May 31, 2005 You might not be able to make a 56K faster but you can tweak it so it does what its supposed to.I had mine a lot faster at one time then it stopped being as fast.I have no explanition except my ISP slowed my connection down.I won't post my old tests but the were faster than a 56K should go.And not cached I can do a cached test that will show to fast for testmy. Now I get good speed for a 56K but I never got 20 times faster like Dist was asking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyther4523 Posted May 31, 2005 CID Share Posted May 31, 2005 on my aunt's laptop they get connected at 50.6Kbps and it runs very well for dial-up. they have a AMD 64 3200+, 512mb ram, some GoLive vid card thats 64mb and thats all i remember lol, not sure on the version of the dial up port thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
