How does it work?
Supercharged is designed to provide maximum acceleration for the Web sites you visit regularly. So, the more you surf, the faster your favorite pages will load.

Supercharged speeds up the delivery of Web pages three ways:

Compression
Supercharged delivers text and graphics more efficiently, using a proprietary compression technology that significantly reduces the size of Web pages and page elements sent to your browser.

Caching
Supercharged improves upon your browser's caching ability. Supercharged intelligently retains and reuses Web pages and page elements that have previously been sent to your PC. That's why the longer Supercharged is in use on your PC, the faster your Web pages will load.

Persistent Connections
Supercharged uses proprietary techniques to carefully manage and optimize the communication between your modem and our network of servers through a persistent connection. This eliminates the time wasted re-establishing and closing TCP/IP connections.

How fast is it?
With Supercharged, Web pages load an average of 3 to 5 times faster. The more regularly you visit specific Web sites, the better the performance you will receive.

What Does Not Get Accelerated?
Most Web content will be accelerated, but there are certain exceptions:
Supercharged Internet Access does NOT speed up file downloads (over FTP or file sharing programs), streaming audio/video and HTTPS (secure web sites).
