A quick google search found this:

It is like all these in the US as well, does wonders for web, but compresses the images to an extent that would bother me. Maybe not you.

If you can afford broadband, it would be a better choice. If not, you may be able to get by with this.

I hope this helps.

Ok, I went and checked out their site. Im not sure if you already realise this but here is a short quote from their description: "ONSPEED is the solution for millions of Internet users who are frustrated by having a slow Internet connection and is a real alternative to Broadband. ONSPEED is a software download which utilises a unique 9 patent approved compression technology that increases your existing Internet connection speed by up to 5 times."
So, its software and it speeds up whatever connection you already have. The big question is if it can really speed up a crappy connection as much as it can (NOTE they claim "UP TO" 5 times- not just 5 times). Anyway considering what they offer its not too good to be true- you need a connection already, you then pay them money on top of whatever you already pay, and then they or may not increase your speed significantly. Hope this helps.

Well maybe its true maybe not? Maybe their only advertising that price of 24.99 but have other hidden fees and extra charges? Why not go to their site, check it out, see if its real or something...even call their number...I went to their site and I colicked "Find mroe info" and it sort of looks real. Try it out, and if you dont like it..you can always cancel!
