How does it work?
With traditional dial-up 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. I-SPEED 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 five times less
– making the download time of your web pages and your online experience
that much faster. As an added download time reducer, I-SPEED stores elements
of the web sites you visit frequently eliminating the need to re-download
them every time you visit these sites.
