Has anyone experienced the internet "accelerator" from Onspeed? I am on dial up for the foreseeable future and was wondering if it might be worth giving this software a try?

    If you search the chat forum with the word onspeed you will find lots of threads on this subject - you might even find out how to try it for free (for what its worth)

    Many thanks - it might have been better if I'd tried a search 1st. ;)

    You're okay, the search doesn't always throw up what you are looking for, I just knew where it was ;)

    There's a report by Davey Winder in this months PCPro, (just stand in WHSmith and read the report) I haven't read it fully because I don't need it but he seems to give it a very favourable writeup for dialup but not so good for broadband.

    try toonel.net - it is free at the moment although java is needed.

    Tried it, tested it, binned it. Sorry I just cannot recommend it, although there are always people out there that will, just take the majority view.
    Old Faithful we roam the range together,
    Old Faithful in any kind of weather,
    When the round up days are over,
    And the Boulevard’s white with clover,
    For you old faithful pal of mine.
