OnSpeed For Mac | 5 Mb
ONSPEED is the solution for millions of Internet users who are frustrated by having a slow Internet connection and is a real alternative to Broadband. ONSPEED is a software download which utilises a unique 9 patent approved compression technology that increases your existing Internet connection speed by up to 5 times.
As you cannot physically change the speed of your Internet connection, ONSPEED uses a technology called Content Sensitive Compression ('CSC') to individually compress each element of a web page or email content using various compression algorithms based on a nine Patent approved proprietary technology. The end result is that your web pages and emails (PC only) load and download as quickly as if you were on a Broadband connection. When your web browser requests a Web Page, the ONSPEED software redirects that request to the ONSPEED Compression Servers. They take the respective Web Page content, compresses it and sends it back down to the ONSPEED software which decompresses it and sends it to the Browser requesting the information. At the moment we have dedicated algorithms for:
# Photo-realistic images (e.g., JPEG, PNG, GIF, and BMP)
# Line Art and Drawings (e.g., GIF, BMP)
# Animated objects (GIF)
# HTML objects
# Text, etc
# Office Documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
# Macromedia Flash
Any data elements that we do not have a dedicated algorithm for gets compressed using a generic compression algorithm. This ensures that we can still get a 20-30% speed increase on these elements.
We are constantly working on new algorithms to improve and enhance our service. By Mid 2005 we will have MP3 files, flash, and Mpeg4 for video available, achieving a 300% - 500% speed increase. You will automatically get notified when this occurs.
You can be up and running on ONSPEED within 5 minutes. There is no hardware to configure, no engineer needed to visit. All you need to do is purchase the ONSPEED software from this website, download and install it enter your username and password and away you go.
Once installed, you will not even notice it is there, it runs in the background speeding up your Internet connection automatically. It is also really easy to turn on and off should you so wish. This can be done from the taskbar or in the browser menu-bar. While information is being downloaded from or uploaded to the Internet you will notice the ONSPEED icon rotating in the system tray (located in the lower right-hand corner of the desk top), it indicates that ONSPEED is working and compressing the data.
NSPEED speeds up your web browsing and sending/receiving of emails*.
ONSPEED will not accelerate browsing over HTTPS (secure websites) or accelerate file downloads or uploads such as MP3, exes or streaming media content (over FTP or file sharing programs). In future, ONSPEED are looking to add these features.
ONSPEED does not increase the size of your internet connection. It compresses the data received hence speeding up your web browsing experience. ONSPEED does not replace your existing Internet Service Provider (ISP) and is to be used in conjunction with your existing Internet Service Provider (ISP).
ONSPEED offers the following value-added service in addition to speeding up your web and e-mail usage: Integrated Diagnostic Support Tool, Pop-Up Blocker and Ad blocker.
* For MAC users, ONSPEED will only accelerate your web browsing. MAC email acceleration is available use of a web mail service. If you do not have a web mail service, we recommend Web2Mail, which can integrate with your POP3 email accounts.
