Welcome to Desoto.Net ~ Arcadia's First and Foremost Internet Provider!

What is HyperSpeed Dialup?

If you surf the Internet using a dial-up connection, you are painfully aware of how slow web pages load. Well, now you can surf the web 2 to 5 times faster with HyperSpeed Dialup, the fastest dial-up web accelerator available anywhere, and the only high speed dialup service in Desoto County!

We tested all the major dialup accelerators on the market and chose the fastest and most stable product we could find to incorporate into our Desoto.Net service. No more special DSL equipment and phone lines, no more long-term contracts with phone and cable companies - just faster Internet right through your modem.

How Does It Work?

HyperSpeed Dialup is designed to provide maximum acceleration for the Web sites you visit regularly. So, the more you surf, the faster your favorite pages will load! A small piece of software, the HyperSpeed Client, installs on your computer and talks to our network of HyperSpeed Servers.

Specifically, HyperSpeed Dialup speeds up the delivery of Web pages four ways:

Compression. HyperSpeed Dialup delivers text and graphics more efficiently, using a proprietary compression technology that significantly reduces the size of Web pages and page elements sent to your browser.
Caching. HyperSpeed Dialup improves upon your browser's caching ability. HyperSpeed Dialup intelligently retains and reuses Web pages and page elements that have previously been sent to your PC. That's why the longer HyperSpeed Dialup is in use on your PC, the faster your Web pages will load.
Persistent Connections. HyperSpeed Dialup uses proprietary techniques to carefully manage and optimize the communication between your modem and our network of servers through a persistent connection. This eliminates the time wasted re-establishing and closing TCP/IP connections.
Optional Content Filtering. HyperSpeed Dialup lets you block unsolicited content, such as pop-up ads and in page ads, which contribute to long wait times.

How Do I Get It?

HyperSpeed Dialup is available to all Desoto.Net customers on the Premium Access plan (formerly our Standard Access plan).

Install the product on your PC (it supports Windows Vista, XP, ME, 98, 2000, 2003 and now Macintosh OS X 10.2 and later - sorry, but it won't work on Windows 95). MacIntosh users may find this document helpful for viewing the various Hyperspeed screens: Mac_Screens.PDF.

Once the product is successfully installed, contact us to activate it by calling 494-7692 or emailing us at sysop@desoto.net. Prior to activation, HyperSpeed Dialup will not speed up your browsing, but it will still allow you to browse the Internet with your normal dialup connection. The pop-up blocker will work immediately after you install it even before activation. If HyperSpeed Dialup prompts you for a username and password prior to activation, just click Cancel. Once we activate it, you will enter your dialup username (without the @desoto.net) and password in the software and you can start surfing at HyperSpeeds! Be sure to read the Quick Tour pages that appear after installation. It gives a very simple overview of the product and how to change the various options.

And, of course, you can always call us if you need help at (863) 494-7692 !
