What is Speed-Link 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. Speed-Link 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.

Speed-Link Accelerator is the next best thing to DSL, at a fraction of the price. Unlike costly and limited-availability broadband solutions, Speed-Link Accelerator is:
  • 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.
Why do I need Speed-Link Accelerator?

Save time. While 30 seconds doesn't sound like a lot of time, it can feel like an eternity if you're waiting for a Web page to load. With Speed-Link Accelerator, most pages can be viewed in less than 7 seconds!

Save money. Broadband options like DSL and cable are expensive. For about the price of one month of DSL, you can get a full year of accelerated Internet speed using your existing dial-up connection!

Always available. DSL and other broadband solutions are not yet available nationwide. However, Speed-Link Accelerator works wherever there is a phone line! From rural country towns, to low-tech hotel rooms, Speed-Link Accelerator speeds up your dial-up!

Easy to use. No new hardware or special equipment to install. Just download the software to your PC and surf up to 5x faster!


How does it work?

Speed-Link 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, Speed-Link Accelerator speeds up the delivery of Web pages three ways:

Compression. Speed-Link 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. Speed-Link Accelerator intelligently retains and re-uses Web pages and page elements that have previously been sent to your PC. That's why the longer Propel Accelerator is in use on your PC, the faster your Web pages will load.

Persistent Connections. Speed-Link 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.


How fast is it?

Performance Boost

With Speed-Link 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.
