your dial-up connection and makes your internet surfing more
pleasurable. Our MegaSpeed also blocks all pop-ups that can fill

load up to 5 times faster! Our Townlinks MegaSPEED service supports
Windows 9x and above and only works with Townlinks Internet Service!

| How
does MegaSPEED's solution compare to DSL or cable modem?
First of all, the price for DSL or
cable modem is considerably higher than Townlinks MegaSPEED
Accelerator, using our MegaSpeed software will allow you to
save money while enjoying the same speed as DSL or Broadband.
Townlinks MegaSPEED is just a software designed to significantly
enhance Web access over low-speed internet connections (less than
200 kbps/second). However, DSL and cable modems provide high-speed
Internet connectivity using hardware solutions that work with
special telephone or cable lines. In addition to the higher
price, many areas still do not have DSL or cable Internet service
available.

| How does
Townlinks MegaSpeed Client Software work?
The client software that you can
download from our site is designed to decompress the data that is
compressed from the Townlinks MegaSPEED servers. The client software
also utilizes its own local cache to save images and text that has
not changed since the last time the web page was visited. The
content is then displayed on your computer making use of both of
these compression and caching techniques.

| What
types of Web content does Townlinks MegaSpeed accelerate?
MegaSPEED accelerates Web page text
(including plain text, HTML, markup and javascript) MegaSpeed
reduces most of common graphics: Gif, animated Gif, and JPEG
images and Flash. MegaSPEED cannot accelerate streaming media,
such as video and audio streams; MP3 files and executable programs.

| Pop-up
Windows Blocking
The latest versions of Townlinks
MegaSPEED has the capability to block pop-up and pop-under windows .
Pop-ups are very annoying and usually clutter your screen,
slow down your internet surfing . You can set up the software to
hear an alert noise and/or see an icon each time a pop-up window has
been blocked. You can also allow a pop-up window that was once
blocked to appear, allow some pop-ups to always be shown, and to
turn the feature on/off.
