| What
is Web Accel? WEBACCEL
Accelerated speeds up your Internet experience, by up to six times,
using your existing dialup phone line and modem. You do not require
any extra equipment. WEBACCEL allows you to surf at near DSL speed,
making WEBACCEL the high-speed Internet solution with the convenience
of dial-up. It is easy to install, runs seamlessly and doesn't alter
any of your existing software. You can also control the amount of compression
vs. speed gain yourself.
What gets
accelerated?
WEBACCEL
compresses the following elements of web pages in order to send the
information to your computer faster:
Web pages
- HTML markup and JavaScript
Graphics including JPEG and GIF images
Text
E-mail on the Web
What will
not be accelerated?
Although
WEBACCEL is able to compress many different types of online data, there
are a few which cannot be accelerated:
Streaming
media, audio and video files
Secure pages, such as those used for online banking and credit card
forms
Files and attachments such as music or digital photos.
How does
it work?
With
traditional dialup 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. WEBACCEL compresses this data using a proprietary technology,
and sends it over your existing dialup phone line. This compression
process allows a smaller amount data to be sent – up to six times
less – making the download time of your web pages and your online
experience that much faster. As an added download time reducer, WEBACCEL
stores elements of the Web sites you visit frequently so you do not
have to re-download them every time you visit these sites.
