What
is GOFAST?
GOFAST
internet accelerator speeds up your Internet experience, by as much as five times
using your existing phone line and modem. No extra equipment is necessary. GOFAST allows
you to surf at near DSL speed, making GOFAST the high-speed Internet solution with the
convenience of dial-up. It is easy to install, runs seamlessly and doesn't alter any of
your existing software. You can also control the amount of compression vs. speed gain
yourself.
What
gets accelerated?
GOFAST
compresses the most common parts of web pages in order to send the information to your
computer faster. These parts are:
- Web pages -
HTML markup and JavaScript
- Graphics
including JPEG and GIF images
- Text
- E-mail on
the Web
What
will not be accelerated?
Although
GOFAST is able to speed up most types of online data, there are a some which cannot be
compressed by any internet accelerator such as:
- Streaming
media such as audio and video files
- Secure pages
such as those used for online banking and credit card forms
- Files and
attachments such as music or digital photos.
How
does it work?
With
traditional dialup methods, the text and graphics that make up Web pages get sent from the
server to you over your phone line. Because of the large amount of data required to be
sent, this process can be painfully slow. GOFAST compresses this data using a proprietary
technology, and sends it over your existing dialup phone line. This compression process
allows a smaller amount data to be sent - up to six times less - making the download time
of your web pages and your online experience that much faster. As an added download time
reducer, GOFAST stores elements of the Web sites you visit frequently so you do not have
to re-download them every time you visit these sites.
