The Benefits of X5
STREAM and How it Works
What is X5 STREAM?
X5
STREAM speeds up your Internet experience, by up to
five times, using your existing dial-up phone line and
modem. You do not require any extra equipment. X5 STREAM
allows you to surf at near DSL speed, making X5 STREAM
the high-speed Internet solution with the convenience
of dialup. It is easy to install, runs seamlessly and
doesn't alter any of your existing software. You can
also control the amount of compression vs. speed gain
yourself.
What gets
accelerated?
X5 STREAM compresses the following elements of web pages
in order to send the information to your computer faster:
- Web pages – HTML markup and
JavaScript
- Graphics including JPEG and GIF
images
- Text
- E-mail - SMTP and POP
What will
not be accelerated?
Although X5 STREAM is able to compress many different
types of online data, there are a few which cannot be
accelerated:
- Streaming media, audio and video
files
- Secure pages, such as those used
for online banking and credit card forms
- Files and attachments such as music
or digital photos
Additional
Features
Other value-added features of the accelerator software
include:
- Pop-Up Blocker - block annoying
pop-up advertisements while surfing!
- Integrated Diagnostic Support Tool
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. X5 STREAM compresses this data using a proprietary
technology, and sends it over your existing dialup phone
line. This compression process allows a smaller amount
data to be sent – up to five times less –
making the download time of your web pages and your
online experience that much faster. As an added download
time reducer, X5 STREAM stores elements of the web sites
you visit frequently eliminating the need to re-download
them every time you visit these sites.
