Increasing ADSL speed?

No, there isn't. I think the software that you're referring to is something like Net Accelerator. This does not increase the speed of your internet. I can't remember exactly how the software works. I have it in my mind that it caches previously viewed pages on your computer, so when you visit the site, or that particular page, you won't need to download it again as it's already saved on your system

What it actually does is pre-download links in the background from the page you are looking at. In effect it slows down the net for everyone else.

Would be nice if they can invent a technology that actually compresses the stream on the ISP's side (all data that goes thru the line) and decompresses on your side.
But thats kinda how Modem works anyhow. Modem stands for Modulate / Demodulate
If they could dig up some advanced software that could help, it would be awesome :>>>
BUt these Accellerators etc.. they are poofs. They only cache your sites you visit regular, and basically download some stuff in the background etc... Not real Speed increase :>>>

I think you are all talking about OnSpeed. Compresses images and whatnot. I don’t think I want to surf with compressed images thank you.
Unless you are referring to Google's accelerator that perfectes the links for you before the time and also runs off google's cache that speeds up your connection allot. Beware website admins, for this app can create Havoc if let loose in your Admin menus!
There are also Mweb's accelerator.
Then, the solution I like more:

The data gets compressed on the webserver side and your browser then deflates it and views it for you. All done seamlessly behind the scenes. But there is not much we can do about this. This has to come from the webmaster’s side.
You could also implement your own Smoothwall (to cache the websites) at home if you are more than 1PC connecting to the internet.
