Onspeed Internet Speed Booster

Has anybody purchased this programme and if so, does it make much difference in the connection/download speed.

    I tink i once used this when i was on dial up. It did make a marginal difference but wasn't worth the hassle. All it does is compress the images and pages so the quality is much reduced.

    Personally i would highly recommend moving to broadband.

    everything goes via their servers that compresses the images as the other poster says, not worth the £20

    I was on Onspeed on dial up, it makes a slight speed improvement but pictures on web pages look awfull! Also the Onspeed service are a pain for sending pop up messages with offers on their services for upgrades etc.

    The quick reply is don't bother, upgrade to broadband/faster broadband.
