NOW WITH BUILT-IN POP-UP BLOCKER!
( Acceleration is provided by SlipStream, the worldwide leader in Web Acceleration )
TDISP.com is now offering premium high-speed dial-up Internet access featuring the ATN Web Accelerator, resulting in web browsing speeds that are 3 to 6 times faster than any standard dial-up Internet service can provide. This is the same acceleration technology offered by one of the nation's leading Internet providers, at a fraction of the cost.
In addition, our newest version of the ATN Web Accelerator speeds up your POP3/SMTP email. You get faster email, using your favorite email program. The new version also contains a built in Pop-Up Blocker, which allows you to automatically prevent annoying pop-up advertisements.
What does web acceleration do for me? Quite simply, it increases your web browsing speed by as much as 600% or more. It does this by compressing data that is transferred from the Internet to your computer. Less data to transfer = faster browsing speed!
What type of data will be accelerated? In general, web pages load at a much faster rate. You no longer have to wait and wait for web pages to display!
- Graphics are displayed faster.
- Text is displayed faster.
- Web-based email is faster.
- POP3-SMTP email is faster.
Is every type of file accelerated? No - certain types of files are already compressed, so that web acceleration software cannot compress these files any further. This includes files that are downloaded to your computer, such as music or program downloads, and streaming media.
Will my "connection speed" change? No - your "connection speed" will not change. Your connection speed is limited by your phone lines and your equipment. Web acceleration allows web pages to load on your computer at a faster rate, despite the fact that your connection speed does not change. One great feature of the acceleration software is that it has a built-in tool which allows you to see how well it is performing. You can check the results at any time.
Is there anything else I should know? Yes - the more times you visit a particular page, the faster that page will load. The first time you visit a page, it might load 50% to 100% faster than normal. After several visits to that page, it could load 300% to 600% faster. In other words, your favorite pages will load the fastest.
What are my other options for speeding up the Internet? Only expensive DSL or cable Internet services will allow faster speeds on the Internet.
