This Netzero Highspeed actually kinda works.....

I just switched my granddad over from AOL to Netzero Highspeed and it is faster than AOL. Even if it wasn't it's still only $15/month. I'd post pics but I'm on Win95 and I can't find any free image hosting that'll accept bmps!!! :| I don't feel like downloading photoshop on dialup just so I can save as jpg....

Isnt it just compression of images and text? Faster webbrowsing, Not actually a faster speed?

No matter how good or bad netzero highspeed is right now, it will only get worse from now on...

I hate bmps and i'm sure others hate downloading bmps. Why don't you use a free image editor like IrfanView it's not even 1 megabyte.

I THINK netzero high speed is just v.92, while Reg. netzero is v.90. I may be wrong but that is what it sounds like in their desp.

i think earthlink highspeed does the compression thingy. it was rated better.

umm you don't need photoshpo to convert bmp --> jpg

go to www.download.com and start searching for a program

So where is the data being compressed? At the access point?

 

[0roo0roo]

well for earthlink, on high compression mode they recompress images like crazy before they send it to your modem. i wonder if it blurs out nips

Don't they also cache a lot of data locally with these "hi-speed" dialup services, in order to cut down on transmission time?

That's what I would've figured. The lower latency would help a bit.

Well all I know is it does compress stuff like crazy. I can set it to compress more but images start looking so bad you can't identify what they are. lol....

Too bad it doesn't work on Win95.
