| 861539 | 2010-02-25 15:40:00 | I am on a dial up connection thru AT&T. I have been using their AT&T accelerator (by Propel) for a number of years. Recently AT&T cancelled their "AT&T Worldnet" dial up service and instead now use "ATT Dial" service. All Worldnet functions have ceased, even the dial up phone numbers. I am now using the new phone number and the ATT Dial service. It works OK but I seem to have lost the service of the accelerator. The accelerator uses a proxy server, I suspect maybe that got cancelled along with the Worldnet service. But then one might expect the proxy server to be a Propel server and would not change. The AT&T help desk guys know nothing about this, I need to get in contact with someone who does. | glendot (15645) | ||

| 861541 | 2010-02-25 20:57:00 | Many ISP's are discontinuing their "accelerator" services, which realistically (mostly) just compress images on-the-fly. As people switch to Broadband there's less of a need to maintain those kinds of products. There are 3rd party ones out there that you could try, but as CYaBro suggested this is an NZ forum, so US-specific things are generally out of our league. However, with that in mind, welcome to PressF1 :) |

| 861542 | 2010-02-26 17:08:00 | I took a chance on posting to the NZ forum. I couldnt find any others. AT&T is horrible at providing services to answer problems. Thanks anyways. | glendot (15645) | ||
| 861543 | 2010-02-26 18:45:00 | Yeah even us in NZ know that ;) Try something like this: download.cnet.com |
