| 196589 | 2003-12-02 11:40:00 | I am using 'Jetstart' with 'Jetbuster' from slingshot.co.nz The Html & page graphics are compressed, doubling the speed of the Jetstart. Doesn't speed up downloads or secure servers. Isp fee $16.60pm plus $8 for the 'Jetbuster'. Has anyone else used it? |

Correct - these items can be cached, which is how the compression system works - the ISP cache downloads the image, compresses it then forwards it to you. > Doesn't speed up downloads or secure servers. Isp fee > $16.60pm plus $8 for the 'Jetbuster'. Correct again - secure content can not be cached or read by a cache, obviously for security reasons so is not compressed. Downloads from things like Kazaa, DC etc will also go by uncompressed. > > Has anyone else used it? I've used the Ihug equivalent accelerator program as a test for my employer, it worked well, but for me personally the compression artifact and loss of image quality negated the increase in speed. |
