Midcoast Internet's Internet Accelerator brings you the benefits
of a high-speed connection, without adding significant extra expense!
No special phone lines are needed! No special equipment! Your current
Internet account can be "accelerated" with no major changes on your
part! This new system is perfect for individuals who don't want to
spend a lot extra for high-speed services, or for those people in
areas where there is no high-speed service available. The service
also includes free Ad Blocking, Parental Control, Spyware Blocking,
and Anti-Virus tools.
Not all Internet accelerators are the same. Most of the pop-up ads
you see that say "Click here to speed up your web browsing" are not
all they claim to be. Most of those programs are basic tweaks used
to try and coax more out of your modem. Our system is fundamentally
different. Here's how it works...
At our data center in Rockland, a special server sits on our high-speed
backbone. When you request a page from the Internet, the server fetches
the page, and then compresses it. It passes the compressed page to
you, where a piece of software decompresses the data. This service
works well for web browsing, e-mail, ftp, and other Internet protocols.
You can even select the amount of compression used when browsing.
Select low compression for high quality images, and select high compression
for ripping-fast browsing. It really does work... See
the results for yourself!
The service is Free
with your connection service.
If you're a broadband user, you can still
benefit from the Ad Blocking, Parental Control, Spyware Blocking,
and Anti-Virus tools.
