Pointstone Internet Accelerator 1.4

Let me start off by asking you a couple of questions. Do you feel like your internet connection is not as fast as you would like it to be? Do you feel like you are waiting too long for webpages to load? Before you contact your ISP and get a better subscription, you could turn to software for help – specialized software that can give your internet connection a boost that is.

Such a specialized application is the Pointstone Software-developed and aptly named Internet Accelerator. There are some things you are going to like about this application and some things you are not going to like. Let’s take a look at your Internet Accelerator experience in a progressive manner and see what you will like and what you will not like.

The first step you must take, should you decide to give Internet Accelerator a try, is to download the application. Getting Internet Accelerator off the web and onto your computer will only take a moment since the download weighs in at 1.1MB. Not having to wait a long time for a download to complete is always nice – at least I think so.

The second step you must take is to install the application on your Windows-powered computer. You will like that installing Internet Accelerator is a simple process that goes along smoothly and rapidly. You will also like that the application does not come bundled with crapware and that you are asked if you want desktop and Start menu shortcuts.

You will not like that Internet Accelerator does not provide support for Windows 7. At the time of writing this and according to the developer, Internet Accelerator provides support for Windows 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP and Vista.

Once Internet Accelerator is up and running, you will like the functionality it provides. What does the application do? In a nutshell, it tweaks various configuration settings and thus optimizes your internet connection and decreases page load times. You will like that using Internet Accelerator is a simple process; the application comes with a simple, easy to figure out interface that allows the user to automatically optimize his internet connection based on what connection type he has.

You are not going to like that Internet Accelerator is only free to try. You can use the application free of charge for a trial period of 15 days; once that trial period is over you will have to part with your hard earned money and get a license to keep using Internet Accelerator.
