Anyone tried this yet? It's supposed to feature some pretty impressive on-the-fly compression to improve the dial-up experience.
I keep a basic Earthlink account for use on the road when I need dial-up. So this is tempting to install. But I'm wary of stuff that messed with your communications features.

All it does is rasterize pics and ads and what not. Nothing too special.

My brother uses Earthlink. Does this version really make surfing the web up to 5X faster with the Earthlink Accelerator?

No, it doesn't, it just downgrades image quality to make things feel faster.
Installed it this morning and uninstalled right away...

Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?

And, as a panicked friend of mine found out after installing it (without consulting me first), installing it creates a new location that doesn't contain any of your previous network settings, so you'll lose ethernet, AirPort, etc. (Luckily, it hasn't deleted those configurations, you just switch back to your previous location and you should be OK.)

It was on my hard drive for about a half-hour. Back to regular dial-up. I hate programs that mess with your system settings. When my Airport disappeared I was NOT happy.
