It's sold by RealNetworks, the same folks that made RealAudio and
RealPlayer. This might imply that it's a good, solid product, *if*
they actually made it and didn't just buy it somewhere.
In theory it's a good idea. In practice, I don't know.
Of course, the fact that they spammed my emailbox trying to sell
this to me and that the first thing the spam said was:

Which is inherently false - it does *not* speed up your modem,
though it may enhance your browsing experience - and that they also
claimed:

I *really* want to know where they got the 20-times faster
number. Frankly the whole thing smacked of marketing weasel-wording.
But hey, for $14.95 go ahead and try it. It's probably available
for downloading by purchase. If you don't like the product then deny
the credit card charge. I'm lucky enough to have high-speed access
most of the time, so I don't need it.
