Sounds like web page accellerator software that simply compresses the data.
Basically if you're on 256 kbit, theoretically you could send more over the same link with compression, at the expense of CPU time to compress/decompress it at either end. Unfortunately a lot of things are already compressed (like a radio/video stream), or simply too small to benefit much (like a 10 kbyte web page) You can experience a similar speedup anyway - the rate limiting software on cable definitely and DSL used to not kick in until there was a bit of data in the queue. So if you get a single 4 kbyte graphic or html doc then the rate limiting didn't kick in for a second or two. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Bell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 9 August 2004 9:54 a.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Freakin' chipmunks! I hope this ain't too OT as to tick any of you off. What do you make of this? Sorry, here's the link. It's supposed to be a high compression "faster than broadband" service, but as they say if it sounds too good to be true... www.juiceboosted.com
