159241 2003-07-13 02:03:00 Anybody tried the Slingshot ISP fast connexion @ around $25 per month?I would like to change over but dont want to go there and find I have made a mistake. kara (4214)
159242 2003-07-13 02:16:00 The fast connection only works on web browsing. If you want to download stuff and are expecting faster downloads, you will be dissapointed. They will not download any faster than with normal dialup

159244 2003-07-13 14:34:00 It sounds a bit like what Quicksilver are offering for an extra $10 a month. Makes me laugh that for an extra $10 you can get three times the speed . It still wouldn't be as fast as my first ISP who sold out on me for bigger and better things. mikebartnz (21)
159245 2003-07-14 00:27:00 Use DNS Caching. This will make your connection fly. ADSL or Dialup. KiwiTT (4082)

also, the default is to prefetch next.

Checkout all the options on this one.

I use Xtra and it is a big ISP so it's DNS server would be really busy queing DNS requests and send them out. Caching really helps then.

159250 2003-07-16 06:24:00 I followed the download install then the PDF info re: windows 2k by modem connection. I am with Clear Net. I fail to open my homepage and fail to check my emails.

I take it, it does not work with some ISP companies?
