What is a Dial-up Internet Accelerator?
An Internet accelerator in defined as any service that will speed up the performance of your Internet access. Web accelerators are becoming more and more popular as dial-up Internet users look to get the most out of their service without having to move to broadband.

How does Swoosh™ Internet Accelerator work?
Swoosh™ web acceleration is achieved at three levels: First, on the customers computer by optimizing the local cache setting of the browser. Second, at the ISP (Internet Service Provider) by storing image and textual content locally. Third, by compressing images and text before sending the file to your computer. Swoosh™ works at all three levels providing you a faster and more reliable Internet browsing experience while enjoying speeds that rival residential DSL at a fraction of the price!

What sort of performance improvements should I expect?
Results from Internet acceleration vary from computer to computer and from website to website. The Swoosh™ settings generally produce a 260% increase in speed bringing a normal 56K modem up to speeds rivaling and exceeding 128K residential DSL.
