If this review site can be believed, it apparently works very well (not sure about a 500 times faster increase, though).

It looks interesting but I'm still a big skeptic.
I read a comment by a person who had tried this product and was "shut down" by their ISP. The ISP (Roadrunner) detected the program as a "modem uncapper" which is apparently "illegal". If I do end up trying this program, my comments about it will be posted here... if Rogers doesn't "shut me down", that is. |

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa 500 times! Hmm are you sure you don't mean five times? Presumeably, this image depicts actual statistics regarding page load times with cFos and just on a normal modem operating under XP
 So the stats for greenpeace.org are as follows:
And for amazon.com:
Now for the maths: [/tab] 19.6/5.5 = 3.6 [tab] 39.2/8.3 = 4.7 3.6 and 4.7 times faster is not quite 500 more like 5. In fact the first one doesn't look like 5 at all. Oh well, there go my dreams of a 28MB/s modem

Yeah there is no way this will make your speed 500x faster. Like others have said, it might reduce the time by maybe 5x max if that. If you are interested in speed up your connection and download speeds first us TCPOptimizer (just like someone else said) and then read PCStats's guide titled "99 Performance Tips" and go to the internet section and tweak the registry like it states. This got me from 400 kb/s on my comcast cable 6 mbps connection to being able to download files at 1 mb/s since the tweaks increase the max number of connections your browser is allowed to use at once. I would not recommend using this with dialup since i might be overkill and actually slow your connection but it works wonders on broadband.

Where'd my 1500MB DSL go? I tried this and really I don't see any difference. The download speed is the same and so is the upload speed. I don't know what these people are pulling but I'm not buying it. Or their product. It's not even worth finding a keygen.

maybe he meant 500% faster? even still i doubt this is true. its seems as though x-master has posted this for the sole purpose of advertising this software... there are example pics and links to trial downloads... and he ahsnt posted anything esle. pretty sad going to this extent just to advertise a piece of software.

I highly disagree that this is possible because boosting cable or T1 500 times is just insane that much speed is shocking to me. Also if this was actually true it would have to be done by changing server and provider settings which last time I checked was illegal.
