Leading Ontario-based ISP Introduces Accelerated Dial-up Service Provided by SlipStream Data
Toronto, Ontario, November 1, 2002 - Execulink Internet Inc., one of the largest Internet Service Providers in Southwestern Ontario, is now offering its dial-up customer base access to SlipStream Web Accelerator.
With SlipStream Web Accelerator, Execulink's dial-up subscribers can expect to increase their web-browsing speed by a factor of up to 6 times. For example, a task that would normally take 2 minutes to complete can now be accomplished in less than 20 seconds with SlipStream.
"It's important for Execulink to maintain our competitive edge by offering improved or enhanced services. We determined that our large dial-up subscriber base will appreciate a web accelerator. We researched the market and tested several compression technologies before we finally selected the SlipStream solution," said Ian Stevens, Operations Manager at Execulink.
"Recently there's been a lot of buzz around the predicted demise of dial-up Internet service, but you have to take into consideration that potentially faster connections such as DSL are considerably more costly than dial-up. And we have many rural Internet users who only have access to dial-up … with no upgrade path available to them," said Mr. Stevens.
Developed by SlipStream Data Inc. of Waterloo, Ontario, the SlipStream Web Accelerator delivers effective high-speed connection to those Internet users who have a standard 56K landline or wireless. The software compresses, optimizes and streamlines web content after it leaves the server, providing a dramatic improvement in web-browsing speed - particularly attractive for dial-up or wireless users who don't have access to high-speed cable or DSL services.
"We are very pleased to partner with Execulink, and we believe that SlipStream's technology is essential for their continued expansion in the networked community. ISPs around the world are looking for value-added services, and this solution is an ideal way for them to generate additional revenue from their existing customer base as well as a way to attract new customers," said Ron Neumann, President of SlipStream Data.
Speed has become a key issue with the growth of web-based, network hosted and wireless applications. In fact, accelerated access and delivery is emerging as a key challenge of the information revolution, and SlipStream's data acceleration solutions deliver tangible and measurable results through unique lossless data compression technology.
