check www.onspeed.com I tried it and it certainly works for me! :-hahI don't think it affects download and upload speeds yet but your surfing speed is most definitely a lot faster for

From various Newsgroups:Typically it compresses the data transferred to view a web page to between 20 and 25% of the original size. The first downside is that image quality is reduced. The quality is adequate most of the time but if you want to view an image in its full glory then you can disable Onspeed with a single click and re-instate afterwards just as easily. The degree of compression can be set by the user but if you set for higher quality (less compression) the speed increase is less. The only other downside is that that it doesn't speed up file transfers. =====It "works" by installing a piece of client software on your PC. Every web page/site or download that you request/visit then goes to onspeed they compress it and send it to you. So pages appear to open quicker but there is of course a lag. Also it doesn't work on already compressed files like ZIP,PDF,MP3s etc.=====It doesn't speed up downloads of video or audio clips, like broadband does. and beware...it keeps your surfing data on its own server. there is a security aspect to that + the aspect that Onspeed has access to that data, tho it has promised not to do anything with it, marketing-wise.

in other words, a typical non-service.Most graphics on websites are already compressed so won't give much improvement.The only data that flows faster is plain text like html and xml and that's delayed on the line because of the time it takes them to compress and record your surfing habits...And of course there are webservers that send compressed data already which is simply decompressed on the fly by modern browsers...
