What people are saying about MegaSpeed...

"Megaspeed is the only way to browse the web over a dialup connection!"
Marc Andreessen Founder of Netscape Communications

"I've tried many products or services that claimed to increase the speed of dial-up. Most did little or nothing at all. Megaspeed on the other hand has definitely speeded-up my browsing by 3x at least"
Doug

"Unlike many programs that claim to speed up surfing. This one actually works"
Larry Magid, CBS News.

"I've been Web surfing since 1995, so it takes a lot to get me excited. Megaspeed Accelerator has done just that!"
Jim

 

If you surf the Internet using a dial-up connection, you are aware of how slow Web pages can load. The MegaSpeed accelerator works with your Cybershore dial-up connection, (it even will work with the national access numbers) allowing you to increase your surfing speed up to 5 times. Cybershore was the first Internet Service Provider in Connecticut to offer a web accelerator product, when we offered CyberSpeed several years ago.

We have been constantly looking for new and improved accelerators. Megaspeed is the same accelerator that Earthlink offers to its customers for $28.00 a month. So, stick with Cybershore and you can not only get faster service, but save money and keep your email address.

What does it cost?
Just $5/month more for our monthly customers and $4/month more for our customers on the six-month plan. That's less than 0.16 cents/day to improve your Internet productivity 5 fold.

Cybershore's New MegaSpeed is a subscription-based service that  allows you to dramatically increase your surfing speed on your Windows 98 / NT 4.0 / ME / 2000 or XP based PC or Mac OS X computer

Pages that previously took almost 30 seconds to load, can now be viewed in less than 7 seconds, on average, and sometimes even faster.

The MegaSpeed product has been rated the fastest Web accelerator.

Better, faster, cheaper and it can block advertisements and those annoying pop-up windows.
 

Megaspeed works with your existing Cybershore dial-up connection.

    How does it work?

MegaSpeed Accelerator is designed to provide maximum acceleration for the Web sites you visit regularly.
So, the more you surf, the faster your favorite pages will load!
 
Specifically, MegaSpeed Accelerator speeds up the delivery of Web pages four ways:
  • Optional Content Filtering. MegaSpeed Accelerator lets you block unsolicited content, such as pop-up ads and in page ads, which contributes to long wait times.
  • Compression. MegaSpeed Accelerator delivers text and graphics more efficiently, using a proprietary compression technology that significantly reduces the size of Web pages and page elements sent to your browser.
  • Caching. MegaSpeed Accelerator improves upon your browser's caching ability. Megaspeed   intelligently retains and reuses Web pages and page elements that have previously been sent to your computer. That's why the longer MegaSpeed Accelerator is in use on your computer, the faster your Web pages will load.
  • Persistent Connections. MegaSpeed Accelerator uses proprietary techniques to carefully manage and optimize the communication between your modem and our network of servers through a persistent connection. This eliminates the time wasted re-establishing and closing TCP/IP connections.
