Sofast Communications Announces the Availability of Sofast Nitro to Accelerate Dialup Internet Connections

Sofast Communications, http://www.sofast.net a Great Falls, Montana based Internet Service Provider, announced today the availability of its’ new dialup Internet accelerator, Sofast Nitro. The addition of the new service will allow customers of Sofast Communications to browse the web at speeds up to 5 times greater than normal dialup connection speeds without the need for additional equipment.

“We saw a great need to offer our customers an affordable option to higher priced high speed connections,” said Dave Peterson, Sales Manager for Sofast Communications. “There are a large number of communities within Montana that want faster connection speeds, but their only alternative is to subscribe to Satellite Internet which is very costly. Some Montana communities have the option of Broadband or Wireless Internet, but people find it difficult to justify the higher price for the service.”

Sofast Nitro combines a number of speed-boost technologies and methods, most of which are proprietary, in order to accelerate the Internet connection. Sofast Nitro increases dial-up connections to an effective speed of 3-5 times compared with un-accelerated dialup connections. “The Sofast Nitro Acceleration System is the most advanced in the industry today. It surpasses competition in acceleration ratios, image quality and reliability. Sofast Nitro provides a distributed system that accelerates Internet access for dial up users, using proprietary technology, including compression, caching, smart routing, persistent connections and other technological means. Additional features such as ‘ads blocking,’ ‘popup blocking’ and ‘privacy protection’ further increase the effective speed and improve the customers experience,” said Mike Kazmier, Chief Technical Officer for Sofast Communications.

Sofast Nitro is available for an additional $5 per month. It is added to a customers existing dialup account and includes: the accelerator technology, 24×7 tech support, Virus and Spam filtering, Ad and Popup blocker, one Email account, and unlimited access. “Sofast Nitro stacks up against the competition,” said Peterson “AOL and Earthlink offer the same speeds at a higher price and NetZero not only sells your personal information, they charge extra for technical support.”
