Extreme Dialup uses the latest technology in dialup compression and acceleration (also known as Hi-speed dialup or broadband dialup). Extreme Dialup uses a client / server compression technology that works with your existing Internet@Dalton connection, allowing you to dramatically increase your web surfing and email speed**. Pages that previously took 30 seconds to load, can now be viewed in less than 7 seconds with an average dialup modem connection!

Slipstream Accelerator is the next best thing to DSL or cable, at a fraction of the price. Unlike costly and limited-availability broadband solutions, Extreme Dialup is:

• Available anywhere there is a normal telephone line
• Requires NO new hardware (works with your existing modem)
• Easy to use - install a small software client on your PC
• Great low cost alternative to DSL or Cable (account pricing)
• An easy upgrade to your existing Internet@Dalton account (call us 226-5896)

How does it work?

Extreme Dialup is designed to provide maximum acceleration for the Web sites you visit regularly. So, the more you surf, the faster your favorite pages will load.

Extreme Dialup speeds up the delivery of Web pages three ways:
Compression. Extreme Dialup delivers text and graphics more efficiently, using a proprietary compression technology that significantly reduces the size of Web pages and page elements sent to your browser.

Caching. Extreme Dialup improves upon your browser's caching ability. Extreme Dialup intelligently retains and reuses Web pages and page elements that have previously been sent to your PC. That's why the longer Extreme Dialup is in use on your PC, the faster your Web pages will load.

Persistent Connections. Extreme Dialup uses proprietary techniques to carefully manage and optimize the communication between your modem and our network of servers through a persistent connection. This eliminates the time wasted re-establishing and closing TCP/IP connections.

How fast is it?

With Extreme Dialup, Web pages load an average of 3 to 5 times faster. The more regularly you visit specific Web sites, the better the performance you will receive.

Here is an example of tests we ran with and without Extreme Dialup.

What Gets Accelerated?

Most Web content will be accelerated, but there are certain exceptions:
