An Overview of What Arkansas.Net Turbo! Offers Web Surfers
Arkansas.Net Turbo! web accelerator is the fast and affordable choice for web access. With Arkansas.Net Turbo! you will enjoy a significantly faster experience when you visit web sites and perform many other Web-based activities.
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. Arkansas.Net Turbo! compresses this data using a proprietary technology, and sends it over your existing dialup phone line. This compression process allows a smaller amount of data to be sent – up to six times less – making the download time of your web pages and your online experience that much faster. As an added download time reducer, Arkansas.Net Turbo! stores elements of the web sites you visit frequently, eliminating the need to re-download them every time you visit these sites.
What get’s accelerated?
To achieve the fastest web acceleration available, proprietary lossless compression is applied to text, html, xml, javascript and style sheets. Proprietary image compression is applied to gif images, jpeg images and Flash content. Arkansas.Net Turbo! will not currently accelerate file downloads such as music files, or streaming video or audio media.
Arkansas.Net Turbo! also offers additional value-added services to speeding up your web usage:
- Pop-Up Blocker - block annoying pop-up advertisements while surfing!
Arkansas.Net Turbo! can prevent pop-up windows and floating flash advertisements from appearing while you browse the Internet. This feature is enabled by default, and no user-intervention is required. However, you can also easily disable this features at any time. Arkansas.Net Turbo! allows you to specify a "White List" of sites where pop-ups will not be blocked and you can also see a list of all pop-ups that were blocked.
- Banner-Ad Blocking - Stop the ads, and surf faster!
Arkansas.Net Turbo! can block many graphical advertisements that appear on web pages (i.e. ad banners). Enabling this feature will prevent these ads from being downloaded and displayed in your browser, reducing download time.
