What is PowerUp Accelerator?

If you surf the Internet using a dial-up connection, you are painfully aware of how slow Web pages load. PowerUp Accelerator allows you to dramatically increase your surfing speed. Pages that previously took almost 30 seconds to load, can now be viewed in less than 7 seconds, on average, and sometimes even faster.

Specifically, PowerUp Accelerator speeds up the delivery of Web pages in four ways:

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

  • Persistent Connections. PowerUp Accelerator 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.

  • Optional Content Filtering. PowerUp Accelerator lets you block unsolicited content, such as pop-up ads and in page ads, which contributes to long wait times.
