1Dial Web Accelerator 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, 1Dial Web Accelerator increases Dial-up speeds by up to 10 times faster than regular dial-up.

As you cannot physically change the speed of your Internet connection, 1Dial Web Accelerator 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 1Dial Web Accelerator software redirects that request to the 1Dial Web Accelerator compression servers. They take the respective web page content, compress it and send it back down to the 1Dial Web Accelerator software which decompresses it and sends it to the browser requesting the information.

1Dial Web Accelerator 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.

1Dial Web Accelerator’s dedicated algorithms compress the following elements:

bulletText
bulletHTML objects
bulletPhoto-realistic images (e.g. Compressed and uncompressed JPEG, PNG, Compressed and uncompressed GIF, and BMP)
bulletLine art and drawings (e.g. GIF, BMP)
bulletAnimated objects (GIF)
bulletOffice documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
bulletMacromedia Flash

If a web page or email contains information that is not covered by a dedicated algorithm, 1Dial Web Accelerator will apply a generic compression algorithm to that data element.

1Dial Web Accelerator costs just  $29.95 for a 12-month subscription, $19.95 for a 6-month subscription, $10.95 for a 3-month subscription, or $4.00 for a monthly subscription.

You can be up and running on 1Dial Web Accelerator within 2 minutes. There is no hardware to configure, no engineer needed to visit. All you need to do is purchase the 1Dial Web Accelerator software from this secure website, download and install it and enter your username and password.

Please note: You need to be connected to the Internet when you install 1Dial Web Accelerator.

Once installed, you will not even notice 1Dial Web Accelerator is there.

1Dial Web Accelerator 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 1Dial Web Accelerator icon rotating in the system tray (located in the lower right-hand corner of the desk top).  This indicates that 1Dial Web Accelerator is working and compressing the data.

1Dial Web Accelerator can also be easily turned on and off. This can be done from the taskbar or in the browser menu-bar.

1Dial Web Accelerator speeds up your web browsing.

1Dial Web Accelerator does not increase the size of your Internet connection. It compresses the data received hence speeding up your web browsing experience.  1Dial Web Accelerator does not replace your existing Internet Service Provider (ISP) and is to be used in conjunction with your existing Internet connection.

1Dial Web Accelerator 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).  1Dial Web Accelerator will accelerate both compressed and uncompressed JPEG, PNG and GIF files.
