"How does ONSPEED work?As you cannot physically change the speed of your Internet connection, ONSPEED uses Content Sensitive Compression ('CSC') to individually compress each element you request from a web pages or email messages using nine Patent approved proprietary dedicated compression algorithms.
The end result is that your web pages and emails load and download as quickly as if you were on a Broadband 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 contents, compress them and send them back down to the ONSPEED software which decompresses it and sends it to the Browser requesting the information.
At the moment we have dedicated algorithms for:
Photo-realistic images (e.g., JPEG, PNG, GIF, and BMP)
Line Art and Drawings (e.g., GIF, BMP)
Animated objects (GIF)
HTML objects
Text, etc
Office Documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
PDF Documents
Any elements that we do not have a dedicated algorithm for gets compressed using a generic compression algorithm. This ensures that we can still get a 20-30% speed increase on these elements.
We are constantly working on new algorithms to improve and enhance our service. By April 2004 we will have MP3 files, flash, and Mpeg4 for video available, achieving a 300% - 500% speed increase. You will automatically get notified when this occurs"
