 rfdesign's recommendation | |
A clever idea but spoilt in my opinion, I suspect, by lack of investment in the Onspeed servers.
It doesn't really live up to its claims as far as I am concerned.
Onspeed in my opinion have been a bit unhelpful about how their system works but I think what it is doing is routing the users requests for web pages through their servers that then use their proprietary compression scheme to pack the data down before sending it to the user where a piece of Onspeed software unpacks it and sends it the browser. Because the files are compressed the data comes down quicker and if your using it on a mobile you get a smaller bill because you've transferred less data?
All this would be a great idea if there was sufficient capacity and speed in the Onspeed servers to make the whole exercise worthwhile but there isn't yet in my opinion.
On a good day for me their is an increase in speed of maybe 30-50%!
As another reviewer pointed out, it is probably heavily oversubscribed and as far as I am aware Onspeed have not invested any profit that they have made back into providing the capacity that their subscribers are paying for in my opinion?
I do not recommend Onspeed Broadband.
