I have to use dial up when I go out of town (3 nights a week) and I am connecting at about 26K or less. I need more speed!! People PC doesn't have enough access numbers for the areas I go.
It looks like it just caches pages. How does it work for you?
Thanks.

I believe it does on-the-fly compression. So for the most part file DLs won't be too much faster, but general browsing should be a bit faster.

General browsing is mostly what I do on the road.

You might be fine, but keep in mind that many pictures and such will look off. The compression is REALLY aggressive. My mom used to use Juno too, and they have the same thing... Pictures look like poop.

In your case, I'd probably spring for Earthlink.
