What is high-speed dial-up?
Regular dial-up access retrieves web sites just the way they are. If you request a web site, the command is sent out to find the address on the internet (ex. www.xplore-va.com). Once it has located the site, all of that web page information is delivered to your computer. The size of the web page is a determining factor in how fast you receive the page and how fast it loads on your computer. When you use our high speed dial up, the web site is found and the page and all of its content are compressed. We then deliver to your computer a much smaller page, (because it's all compressed) thus sending the information faster because there isn't as much to send. Once on your computer the page decompresses.
