Mucho faster Dial-up please

Its nice for us who live and work in urban areas and have 4Mb ADSL in the office and 2Mb at home complete with wireless access to make browing the web a breeze. But some poor sods are still stuck in areas where BT hasn´t upgraded the exchanges yet and are stuck on dial-up still. Well there is an answer! A service from Onspeed uses a proxy and compression techniques to increase the speed of your dial-up connection. Some content can be compressed by 50% effectively doubling your connection speed.
 
The compression techniques work best on text therefore the largest benefits come from standard web pages and email. There are other compression techniques that are used depending on the content being accessed but since jpegs and mpegs are already compressed as part of the file format, you don´t benefit that much. Its therefore best for those users whoo browse the web and use email a lot but if you want to access streaming media and other online multimedia content then its best to wait for adsl.
 
Check it out and see what you think. It only costs a couple of quid a month so whats the harm.
