ISP INTERNET ACCELLERATOR

For those of you using KIT as your isp, their new x4 Accellerator seems to be a Jim Dandy. I haven't given it the full test as all their sign-ups have slowed the whole system down. But...once everyone is on, then it should work very well. I've used it for almost two weeks and have noticed a difference in some things already. Mail service is certainly better than I have experienced in years.

The ISP Internet Accelerator uses a patented and proprietary method of compressing standard graphic images found on the Internet and in POP3 e-mail. Acceleration is dependent upon a client application that runs on your PC and a server application that runs on a special compression computer owned by your KIT.

Once configured properly, the ISP Internet Accelerator requires very little interaction from the user. It is designed to work behind the scenes with existing Web browsers and e-mail applications. The most common interaction that a user has on a day-to-day basis occurs when different image qualities are desired

It costs something less than $2.00 a month. If you hook it up and don't like it, you'll get your unused portion of it back, just like on your regular service. KIT has good policies in that regard.
