Slipstream accelerates most web page text/html and graphics when compared to standard Dial-Up Internet Services. Actual results may vary. Some web pages, such as secure or encrypted web pages, will not be accelerated. Slipstream Dial-Up Acceleration is not a broadband service and therefore actual data transmission rates are not faster than standard Dial-Up Internet Services. Transmission of files, without limitation to the following, will not or can not be accelerated: MP3s and other Music Files (.wma, .wav, etc.), Executable Files and Encrypted Files. Slipstream Dial-Up Acceleration may not be compatible with proxy based software or services such as content filters or firewalls.
