What is GOFAST Internet?
GOFAST Internet
speeds up your Internet experience, by up to six times, using your
existing dialup phone line and modem. You do not require any extra
equipment. GOFAST Internet allows you to surf at near DSL speed,
making GOFAST Internet the high-speed Internet solution with the
convenience of dial-up. It is easy to install, runs seamlessly and
doesn't alter any of your existing software. You can also control the
amount of compression vs. speed gain yourself. What gets accelerated? GOFAST Internet
compresses the following elements of web pages in order to send the
information to your computer faster: Web pages - HTML markup and
JavaScript Graphics including JPEG and GIF images Text E-mail on the
Web What will not be accelerated? Although GOFAST Internet is able to
compress many different types of online data, there are a few which
cannot be accelerated: Streaming media, audio and video files Secure
pages, such as those used for online banking and credit card forms
Files and attachments such as music or digital photos.
How does it
work?
With traditional dialup methods, the text and graphics that make
up Web pages get sent from the server to you over your phone line.
Because of the large amount of data required to be sent, this process
can be painfully slow. GOFAST Internet compresses this data using a
proprietary technology, and sends it over your existing dialup phone
line. This compression process allows a smaller amount data to be sent
– up to six times less – making the download time of your web
pages and your online experience that much faster. As an added
download time reducer, GOFAST Internet stores elements of the Web
sites you visit frequently so you do not have to re-download them
every time you visit these sites.
