How
does it work?
With
traditional dial-up 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. Slipstream 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 five times
less – making the download
time of your web pages and
your online experience that
much faster. As an added
download time reducer,
Slipstream stores elements
of the web sites you visit
frequently eliminating the
need to re-download them
every time you visit these
sites.
