It compresses text and images so it only works on web pages. It does sod all for downloads.

If you've got broadband then you won't need it.

Compresses web pages apparently - aids browsing only.

Does it act as some kind of driver for your router or modem?

Is the onspeed software any good? I keep seeing adverts in the paper for it claiming it got high marks here and there, and that it can increase browsing on broadband by up to 3 times, and dial-up by 8, or something. Anyone got it?

just did a test the now and upstream is 246kbps and down stream is 1047kbps so Im guessing that my regrade has still not happened Oh wo is me.

Well I'm on NTL and I still get like 20 kbp/s upstream, downstream is about 230kbp/s though.

hmmm when you do a speed test what would you expect to see on the upstream and down stream figures? my conection seems a bit faster in figures but nothing like 2MB but Freeola say it could take up to 6pm for it to happen

Browsing seems no different, downloading things is obviously quicker. I didn't need to reboot anything, just disconnected for a few seconds.
