ONSPEED is a quick and easy software download that significantly increases the speed of any Internet connection, anywhere in the world.

Using a unique and patented compression technology, ONSPEED increases Dial-up speeds by up to 10 times; Broadband by up to 5 times and Mobile connections (via GPRS/3G) by up to 8 times.

		Is easy to install for PC and Mac; no need for new hardware
		Works with your existing Internet connection (Dial-up, Broadband or Mobile connection) and your existing Internet Service Provider (ISP)
		Can be used with any Internet connection in any country
		Is used by over 500,000 satisfied customers throughout the world

As you cannot physically change the speed of your Internet connection, ONSPEED uses a technology called Content Sensitive Compression ('CSC') to individually compress each element of a web page or email using various compression algorithms based on a patent approved proprietary technology. The end result is that your web pages and emails (PC only) load and download faster using your existing Internet connection.

When your web browser requests a web page, the ONSPEED software redirects that request to the ONSPEED compression servers. They take the respective web page content, compress it and send it back down to the ONSPEED software which decompresses it and sends it to the browser requesting the information.

ONSPEED offers a unique, patented technology called “Advanced Imaging”, enabling you to receive fully viewable and instantly usable web pages, while maintaining the maximum quality of images. Advanced Imaging delivers all images on a page simultaneously. You continue to browse web pages while images are being progressively loaded. Image quality progressively improves until images have reached lossless quality.

ONSPEED’s dedicated algorithms compress the following elements:

		Text
		HTML objects
		Photo-realistic images (e.g. Compressed and uncompressed JPEG, PNG, Compressed and uncompressed GIF, and BMP)
		Line art and drawings (e.g. GIF, BMP)
		Animated objects (GIF)
		Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
		Macromedia Flash

If a web page or email contains information that is not covered by a dedicated algorithm, ONSPEED will apply a generic compression algorithm to that data element.

ONSPEED costs just  US$39.99 for a 12-month subscription. Additional copies can be purchased for US$38.99 each for a 12-month subscription. ONSPEED also includes a Pop-Up blocker and ability to block in-page adverts in web pages.

There are no additional costs to run ONSPEED. It is just  US$39.99  for a 12-month subscription.

However, please note that you will still be charged your standard underlying Internet connection charges by your existing Internet Service Provider (ISP).

ONSPEED runs in the background speeding up your Internet connection automatically. While information is being downloaded from or uploaded to the Internet you will notice the ONSPEED icon rotating in the system tray (located in the lower right-hand corner of the desk top). This indicates that ONSPEED is working and compressing the data.

ONSPEED can also be easily turned on and off. This can be done from the taskbar or in the browser menu-bar.

ONSPEED speeds up your web browsing and sending and receiving of emails.

ONSPEED does not increase the size of your Internet connection. It compresses the data received hence speeding up your web browsing experience. ONSPEED does not replace your existing Internet Service Provider (ISP) and is to be used in conjunction with your existing Internet connection.

ONSPEED will not accelerate browsing over HTTPS (secure websites), file downloads or uploads such as QuickTime files, MP3, AVI, MPEG, exes or streaming media content (over FTP or file sharing programs). ONSPEED will accelerate both compressed and uncompressed JPEG, PNG and GIF files.

All AOL Users: You can only use ONSPEED outside of the AOL and Internet Explorer browsers. If you would like to use ONSPEED for your web browsing, please download an alternate web browser to surf the web. AOL blocks certain ports within its browser which make ONSPEED incompatible with AOL at present. To achieve email acceleration with AOL, you need to use your AOL web mail through the alternate web browser. Once you have purchased ONSPEED and downloaded and installed the alternate web browser, please click here for detailed instructions on how to configure the alternate web browser.

For Mac and Pocket PC Users: ONSPEED will only accelerate your web browsing. Mac and Pocket PC email acceleration is available only when using a web mail service. If you do not have web mail, we recommend Web2Mail which can integrate with your POP3 email accounts.

For Broadband Users: ONSPEED will accelerate Broadband connections up to 2Mb.

To run ONSPEED, you need the following:

For PC Users:

		Microsoft Internet Explorer v5.0 or above
		Netscape Navigator 6.0 and above
		Phaseout 5.1 and above
		Opera 7 and above
		Avant 9.02 and above
		Firefox 0.8 and above
		Mozilla 1.6 and above

ONSPEED works on any Internet connection including:

		All analogue Dial-up connections
		All digital Dial-up connections
		All Broadband connections (up to 2Mb)
		All ISDN connections
		All Internet connections via your laptop using a mobile phone connection (via GPRS/3G)

Please note:
ONSPEED will not accelerate Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) or certain satellite connections.

ONSPEED does not replace your existing Internet Service Provider (ISP). It simply sits on top of your existing Internet connection to accelerate web browsing and sending/receiving of emails. You will still continue to pay for your underlying Internet connections charges to your ISP.

If you are using a Dial-up Internet connection, your telephone line will continue to be used exclusively for your Internet connection while you are online. Adding ONSPEED on top of your existing Dial-up Internet connection will not give you the ability to free up your telephone line. This is because ONSPEED does not replace your current Internet connection. It makes your existing Internet connection faster.

If you are using a Broadband Internet connection and have added ONSPEED, you will continue to be able to use your telephone line for voice calls while you are online.

ONSPEED works in any country worldwide.

However, ONSPEED will not work in certain African and Middle Eastern countries that connect to the Internet via a forced proxy.

Yes

If you are accessing the Internet via your laptop using a mobile phone connection (over GPRS/3G), you can use ONSPEED to accelerate your mobile Internet connection by up to 8 times. Also, as you are charged by your mobile provider for the data you upload and download, there is the added benefit that your mobile phone bill will be substantially lowered because of the reduction in data received. This can result in up to a 90% reduction in costs since mobile phone providers charge per Mb downloaded.

Yes. ONSPEED can reduce the amount of time it takes to send and receive email. ONSPEED accelerates email transparently, so you can use your email program exactly as you normally would.

ONSPEED is compatible with any standard IMAP/POP3/SMTP client including Outlook Express, Eudora, Mozilla Thunderbird and Netscape Mail. Email acceleration is enabled by default.

Please note: ONSPEED does not currently speed up email for Mac and Pocket PC users.

Your ONSPEED subscription is sold on a per computer basis. For each computer you would like to use ONSPEED on, you will need an additional ONSPEED subscription.

ONSPEED does not include any spyware. Spyware covers a broad category of malicious software designed to intercept or take partial control of your computer's operation without your informed consent.

It is ONSPEED’s policy to never include spyware in any ONSPEED product, or any ONSPEED update.
