it doesnt really accelarate, it makes pictures a tiny little bit worse quality. and it wouldnt let me open up Firefox. and did you get this link from Digg.com? cuz if you didnt you should go there.

haha, that sounds cool, but at the same time it seems that it might be taking up space? and saving unnecessary things. i dunno, i'll stick with my DSL. its fine.

gee, do people ever try to find out anything thru the "LEARN MORE" link? if you can't find it , HERE. Go look under "how does it work", if you think those ways of "saving speed" applies to you, then get it, otherwise dont.
I personally dont like it. because all it does is routing files through another server, compressing it, load subpages in advance, putting pages in cache and maybe mess with your connection setting. It probably would seem like it loads faster on your computer. But knowing how it really works, it doesn't save a single bit of bandwidth, neither does your internet connection go a single B/sec faster. It just makes the loading happen at the right time from the right place. |
