"Don't waste your time or money! It made my dsl SLOWER!"
Version: SpeedConnect XP Internet Accelerator 7.5
Pros
None that I could find!
Cons
They want you to go through numerous settings until it works (rebooting each time), but it never helped my dsl speed!
Summary
Usless!

"DO NOT PURCHASE! (WISH WE COULD GIVE 0 STARS!)"
Version: SpeedConnect XP Internet Accelerator 7.5
Pros
The Pros? You can uninstall it- then reformat your hard drive, to eventually get rid of it - yep - that's a PRO!
Cons
Wow, only 250 characters allowed for the pros ... LOL -
DO NOT PURCHASE - I DID HERE'S SOME PROOF
Activation Key : 8594-****-9BA8-C6A1
Licenses : 2 Computers (1 initial + 1 FREE)
If you reinstall your OS, they'll make you buy it again!Summary
This thing calls home - you're paying for spyware - it's like inviting someone to be peeping tom in your home-
As of June 20th, 2011 -
The performance effects were minimal - but worst of all - if you install or update windows, it will deactivate, forcing you to buy it again.
This software is so bad, so scary - I may indeed research the net to see how many others are as concerned - and interested in a class action!
STAY FAR AWAY - EVEN FROM THE TRIAL ON HERE!
CNET - TAKE THIS PROGRAM DOWN!
Updated on Jun 20, 2011
We're still trying to acquire a key reset ...
Our key was only used once, but we had two OS re-installs - so we were sent this email to purchase MORE LOL (below.) This software reads MAC address, so this company knows this as fact.

"Even the freebies are worthless."
Version: SpeedConnect XP Internet Accelerator 7.5
Pros
Pros? What oos?
Cons
Not enough room for the cons.
Summary
They try to tickle your tastebuds to buy it. So, they throw you a few bones to whet your appetite. I lost mine in a hurry. Infested with spyware. Even after removing it, a lot of junk was left behind. Stay away.

"This Company Sucks"
Version: SpeedConnect XP Internet Accelerator 7.5
Pros
It basically does what it's supposed to do although if you are knowledgeable, you can make these same adjustments yourself.
Cons
You can't open the program full size to more comfortably see everything. Everything is all scrunched up with text overlapping making it hard to read. My 5 separate emails to cust. service have been completely ignored. Cust. service is non existent.
Summary
Do not buy this software. It's only marginally effective. If you ever end up having to reformat your computer they force you buy another license where with nearly all of my other software, I have o problem reinstalling the software once I am back up and running. They don't simply have bad customer service; they have NO customer service. For over a month I have been emailing them trying to find out how to solve the text overlapping problem, most likely a simple fix that I am overlooking, but I have not heard anything back from them. No "we received your email", no "we'll gt back to you in 48 hours"; nothing. It's like they are out of business....unless of course you need to purchase yet another license to use on the exact SAME computer; then they are magically available. In a time were bad customer service is the norm, this company doesn't even rise to that minimal level. DO NOT BUY THIS SOFTWARE. You have other options with companies that respect your business and deserve your hard earned money.

"Another way of Internet Fraud"
Version: SpeedConnect XP Internet Accelerator 7.5
Pros
I dont like that product at all...
Cons
They are scum and scam , as you cannot activate your program after a while they say it is activated enough so you have to pay for us for additional activations... And when it is not activated it sabotage your internet connection...
Summary
Never bother buying this product, it is totally crap...
-
"if you value your privacy.."
Version: SpeedConnect XP Internet Accelerator 7.5
Pros
-stay away from this pathetic piece of coded spyware.
Cons
Once the product has been activated, it continues to phone home every time you attempt to "apply" the recommended optimized settings. Software isn't supposed to do that without your knowledge.
Summary
I regret having installed SpeedConnect Internet Accelerator. I found out the hard way, ended up in a big mess, having to reformat my hard drive and reinstall Windows just to return my settings back to normal. I ensured that it was gone from my computer too, good riddance. What a waste of precious time.
