What is
MidwayNet Express and Express x2 Accelerator?
What gets accelerated?
MidwayNet Express and
Express x2 compresses the following elements of web pages in
order to send the information to your computer faster:
- Web pages – HTML markup and JavaScript
- Graphics including JPEG and GIF images
What will not be accelerated?
Although MidwayNet Express and
Express x2 is able to compress many different types of online
data, there are a few which cannot be accelerated:
- Passive FTP
- E-mail - SMTP, POP, IMAP (including file attachments!)
- Streaming media, audio and video files
- Secure pages, such as those used for online banking and credit
card forms
How does it work?
With traditional dial-up methods, the text and graphics that make
up web pages get sent from the server to you over your phone line.
Because of the large amount of data required to be sent, this process
can be painfully slow. MidwayNet Express and
Express x2 compresses this data using a proprietary technology,
and sends it over your existing dialup phone line. This compression
process allows a smaller amount data to be sent - up to seven times
less - making the download time of your web pages and your online
experience that much faster. As an added download time reducer, MidwayNet
Express and Express x2 stores
elements of the web sites you visit frequently eliminating the need
to re-download them every time you visit these sites.
Additional Features
Other value-added features of the accelerator software include:
- Privacy Manager - clear you cache, cookies, and history in one
click
- Internet Explorer Toolbar - change your settings more conveniently
- Pop-Up Blocker - block annoying pop-up advertisements while surfing
- Banner-Ad Blocking - Stop the ads and surf faster
- Integrated Diagnostic Support Tool - help us solve your problem
faster
What is the Difference between MidwayNet
Express and Express x2?
The only difference between the two services is that the Express
x2 offers NOW!Imaging.
What is NOW! Imaging?
NOW!Imaging results in web pages that are instantaneously
both viewable and usable without sacrifice in image quality.
With this functionality, MidwayNet Express
x2 accelerator first loads the images with the lowest quality
and then progressively improves the image quality until it reaches
the maximum preset value. Quality improvement occurs only if extra
bandwidth is available.
