  Pros

  This has noticeably increased my speed. I took the speakeasy test and another broadband test and on both sites compared to tests I did a week ago, the speeds were I would say 15 to 20 percent higher. Might not seem like a lot, but the surfing says it is a lot. Firefox has been real slow lately, I also use a couple other browsers and they are sluggish at times. Firefox forum has a number of complaints about it being slow so I don't think it's totally my computer...Anyway, the point is this accelerator software is doing a great job, pages were loading incredibly faster. My guess on the significance of the speakeasy test compared to the way I noticed pages loading seems a little low. It almosts seems pages are loading about 30 to 40 percent faster. Bottom line is, this software is doing great. Now, I did just download it tonite, we'll see how it goes at the end of the trial, if it works this well I'll buy it for sure, and then there's still a 30 day money back guarantee, more time to evaluate, but hopefully it will continue to do an awesome job, cause for 20 bucks, it's worth it. I use to have Webroot Accelerator plus....this is by far better.

  Cons

  Writing the review a little early....but, it might help if someone needs software like this.

  Pros

  easy to use

  Cons

  My average internet speed without it was 15 KBps. I tried all its options for increasing speed, but the speed remains below 11 KBps. After doing restore defaults, speed was back to normal.

• Really accelerates internet speed!

  Pros

  First of all C-Net should correct the spelling of the software that is "POINTSTONE" coming to the point.Pointstone has produced very good quality products some of which include its system cleaner v5.0 and internet accelerator.It really configured my TCP/IP settings well and sped up my internet.I also use Tweak Master Pro which is also a good software to boost internet speed.

  Cons

  The product is perfectly fine. However internet speed can not be actually increased from 10% to 400% however its just a product promotion strategy. Pointstone has been succesfull to some extent to provide its users with better quality of internet speed.Users donot get the exact results because of the softwares and extra junk cluttering up in their PC.Users should try to perform a regular registry checkup as it has a lot to do with the speeds.Also if still users do not get satisfying results they should try tweak master pro that is an excellent product of Hagel technologies.
