BROADBAND services are increasingly popular but there are still many people using dial-up access for the internet.
But a service offered by ONSPEED claims to accelerate web browsing and email transfer for computer users on the slower service.
It works by compressing the quality of the images on websites you visit and then delivers them to your machine.
They are uncompressed via a small piece of software on your machine that you download when you subscribe, before being displayed.
Unfortunately ONSPEED will not accelerate file downloads such as music files, streaming video or audio media, one of the main advantages of broadband access.
Another thing to consider is that the service transfers your request to their own servers, which could be tracked for marketing purposes.
A thorough reading of the site’s privacy policy shows they are aware of this and promise to abide to accepted internet protocols.
The advantage of using ONSPEED will be greatly influenced by what you use the internet for, if it is just for reading websites and email then it might be worth considering.
