Web Myth:Web Accelerator

[Prometheus]

I will try to use these Web Myths more often. If you have a topic you would like me to cover please contact me.


We all have seen the comercials from NetZero and Juno and other about Web Accelerators for 56k dialup users. This accelerator supposedly speeds up your internet.


Well guess what...its a scam. The same amount of data comes down the cord no matter what. All the accelerator does is lower the quality of what comes through. And empty your wallet a little faster.

it compresses the images, making it appear to load faster..

[StinkyMojo]

and it saves all images to HD.. making it more faster =/

guess it makes 56k'ers feel powerful

ALL INTERNET SAVES EVERYTHING TO THE HD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


and "more faster" is grammatically incorrect.. idiots at bcc put me into eng92...

as in the pages are actually cached into the HD so the images load WAY Faster than without the service.. i know my dad uses it at his work. And the reason why you got into eng 92 cause you sucked ass on the test obviously.

uh huh.. what's your SAT score.. sit down.. i pwned that test..it must have been opposite day.. and the only reason you get to go into eng 101 is because you took drama..

[StinkyMojo]

what were your SAT's?

[Jason425]

1220

630 math
590 verbal...
but I get placed into math 124 (calculus) and eng 92 (wtf)


I got accepted into WSU and WWU, and would have rather gone there, but it was about saving $ in the end... i'm doin a transfer degree now..

[StinkyMojo]

Yeah i got the exact opposite in the placement test :/

Math 98 and Eng101
