Miliki Dialup Accelerator FAQ
Question:
Is this just a modem and registry tweaking application that supposedly
improves my Internet speed?
Answer: Absolutely not. Miliki Dialup
Accelerator is not another utility that adjusts Windows registry settings
for optimal network performance. It uses a truly unique method of
compressing the data you request before it is sent over the phone lines to
your computer.
Question:
Does Miliki Dialup Accelerator speed up the retrieval delivery of email as
opposed to just speeding up surfing?
Answer: Miliki Dialup Accelerator uses several
patented and proprietary algorithms that greatly compress web pages and
e-mail messages. Pictures and other graphic images are usually responsible
for the most of the content size. The compression routines strip out a
pre-determined amount of colors and pixels (the components that make up
image files) to reduce the size of the image. This, in turn, reduces the
overall size of the information being sent.
Question: How does this
acceleration application work?
Answer: As you request pages from the web or
email from your mail server, the data is first routed to a compression
server where it is quickly and automatically reduced in size. Once
compressed, a lot more data can be sent over traditional wired (and
wireless) telephone lines. When the information is received at your
computer, it is automatically decompressed. Web pages and email messages
appear as normal in either your web browser or email application. If
you're familiar with the concept of Zip compressed files, this is a good
way to explain what is going on. However the zipping and unzipping
process is behind the scenes and requires nothing of you to view web pages
or email. Just to be clear, the proprietary compression used with the
Miliki Dialup Accelerator is even better than the standard Zip format,
which means superior acceleration.
Question:
What can I expect in the way of performance?
Answer: Miliki Dialup Accelerator compresses
data to effectively increase the speed of your dialup Internet connection
to five or six times the normal speed. The performance you see will vary
depending upon each site you visit, the speed setting you choose, and
other network factors.
Question: Does Miliki
Dialup Accelerator speed up my secure (HTTPS) transactions such as my web
banking?
Answer: For security reasons, access to
secure websites through Miliki Dialup Accelerator is not supported. The
sites can still be accessed, however, no acceleration will occur.
Question: How can I
further improve Acceleration performance?
Answer: You can choose your speed setting. To
achieve the fastest speed the compression routines strip out more from the
images. This, of course, will impact the quality of the images. However,
you will be surprised at how little the quality is impacted. You can
choose to receive a little less speed improvement and improve the
quality. There are 4 settings of speed / quality. By playing with these
settings you should find a level of both speed and quality you can be
comfortable with. Please remember you will still see good acceleration at
any of the 4 settings.
Question:
What are my computer requirements for this application to work?
Answer: The minimum hardware and software
requirements are as follows:
