Propel Accelerator improves your browsing experience by dramatically accelerating the delivery of Web pages to your computer. Our unique combination of persistent connections, intelligent browser caching, and compression technology enables Web pages to be delivered to your browser with minimal latency at maximum speeds over your existing low-speed Internet connection. As a result, you can expect a very noticeable improvement in response time.

Low-speed Internet connections are those connections, regardless of technology, that Propel Accelerator measures at or below 400 kilobits in speed and include cellular and fixed wireless, dial-up, ISDL, satellite, ISDN, ADSL, cable, and WiFi.

Methods of Acceleration

Propel Accelerator speeds up the delivery of Web pages in three ways:

• Compression. Propel delivers text and graphics more efficiently, using a patent-pending compression technology that allows for intelligent encoding of Web pages and page elements sent to your browser.
• Caching. Propel intelligently retains and re-uses Web pages and page elements that have previously been sent to your computer. That's why the longer Propel Accelerator is in use on your computer, the faster your Web pages will load.
• Persistent Connections. Propel uses proprietary techniques to carefully manage and optimize the communication between your modem and our servers using a persistent connection.

The table below shows some popular Web site pages and the range of acceleration you should expect to see from Propel Accelerator.

An easy way to understand what Propel Accelerator does is to consider a simplified example.

Propel Accelerator is an Internet acceleration service for users on low-speed, or high latency Internet connections, that speeds up the delivery of static and dynamic Web pages across the entire Internet, including the last mile.

The service significantly improves a user's browsing experience, while remaining universally deployable and completely transparent to ISPs and destination sites.
