Do "Web Accelerators" really work?

I live in an area where broadband internet is only available through satellite (which I can't afford) and I hear ISPs boasting all the time about dial-up internet thats supposed to be 7x faster. Is this for real? Any suggustions on other routes to a faster connection?

 

It does do any thing to the actual speed of the connection.

It caches and compresses web pages that you often use.

Therefore, if you always go to the same Internet pages and the pages do not change much, you would an Illusion of Speed.

If it free try it, otherwise, it does not worth a penny.

 

I used to be with Earthlink dial-up, when they were pretty highly rated. I downloaded their Accelerator program, and I saw no difference whatsoever.

Download accelators work by cachin data in many servers across the world, to make your retriving data quicker, or also use image compression techniques to also speed the connection, some people found them very useful, some don't, I personaly say give it a try, see how much of a difference it makes for you.
