Here's where we need to be careful, Squall:  line speed remains the same -- it's the file caching or data compression which the services offer that makes the difference.

Yes, you can't physically make the internet speed faster, you're just "squeezing" the webpages and images to smaller sizes so that it loads faster within the same non changable speed.

Like eating a hamburger, eatng bite sized pieces vs eating one hamburger whole  ;D

    Squall welcome to the light. These speed up programmes are the toilet paper of RegCure. That's how I feel about these lying money grabbing programmes. We should have a list of the thing's that annoy us most like the 10 commandments!

      but you might get a program like admuncher http://www.admuncher.com/ or adblock plus ....

      You know ... one of those adblockers, will really save bandwith on the dialup for having no advertisements being downloaded alongside main website content....

        Squall Ok we can keep telling people they get a better connection with these programmes then. Your call. You have to appreciate that these programmes can cost people a lot of money (I know yours does not) with the lie that they will increase connectivity. All the while using a simple programme almost cookie style to make you believe things are faster. It's a myth, a unicorn, an elf, loch ness monster, U.F.O's, ghost's and people actually like the Hoff. It's all make believe.  ;)

          what ever I see a difference may be not with the physical connection but I notice things work faster an everything.  Not currently but why should I bother with it at the current point.

          run faster is really subjective. Just a feeling ... does it take less time to do same task now?

          You will 'not' be able to download faster. It's just a scam.
