  • If u are using Dial-Up connection the u download Accelerator software for 10 times faster access to interner ...

    Link :

    these software enables u to have little faster loading of webpages and also enhance your connection to some extent as broadband [facility]

  • i am usin the bsnl 500 home plan....
    i am not sure about the problems faced by the dial-up users...my advice is that better change it to broad band..the dial-up services has become outdated now a days.....its absolutely a waste using dial-up...i was a dial-up user so only i am tellin....
    Monday, September 10, 2007 5:59 PM
  • My dear friend I totaly agree with u, but what about many of my friends who are using dial-up in hostel and not able to take broad-band services, although we pay RS 500 for airtel-dialup....
