"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."

Be aware that this type of software only works for actual Web browsing. It will not speed up your e-mail, nor will it speed up most downloads, nor will it help any kind of streaming media (including videoconferencing or VoIP) that you might use.
You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!
