Hi Ian.
This works by installing software at your end which compresses the data
that goes out over the Internet, and then sends it to a decompression
server which will then forward it to its destination. It also uses a
web proxy somewhere, I think.
I personally don't feel you would get much benefit from this, and feel
it would cause more problems than it would solve. If they offer a free
trial, it may be worth trying it under your setup, to see if it really
is worth the money for it - I have seen some people who use it, and some
who don't like it.
Thats all I really know about it.
Thanks.
Andrew.

Subject: [access-uk] ONSPEED QUERY
Hi all,
Because of NTL arrangements in our area, we're still on clunky old
dial-up at home. My wife received an email promoting something called
Onspeed. Here's part of what it said.
OnSpeed is the solution for millions of internet users who are
frustrated by having a slow internet connection. It's a quick, easy
software download, which
speeds up all dial-up internet connections by up to 5 times, putting it
well within broadband territory. And if you've got broadband, you can
expect pages
to download 3 times faster with OnSpeed.
Has anyone any view on or experience of this either in terms of its
likely benefits or otherwise or its accessibility/usability with JFW?
Cheers now.
Ian
