One of the biggest frustrations with being out in the field with your laptop is having a slow cellular connection to the Internet."? Even so-called "broadband" connections can keep you drumming your fingers and your prospects impatiently glaring."? Well, thanks to a new U.K. service I just discovered, your days of waiting are over...

OnSpeed (http://www.onspeed.com) is a service that very effectively speeds up your Internet connection anywhere from 2 to 10 times what you see now with your standard or broadband cell connection."? The way it works is very simple yet elegant.

As a subscriber to OnSpeed (currently about $50/yr) all Internet traffic coming to your computer first goes to their distributed servers where the data is nearly instantly highly compressed and then sent on to you."? Then your installed OnSpeed software transparently immediately un-compresses it as it is received."? The result is that with OnSpeed you greatly reduce the amount of data flow over the Internet which gives you the same benefit of a"? much faster connection.

I've been using OnSpeed for a couple months now and swear by it."? No longer frustrated with slow cell connections while on the road, it has made my life much easier --and chances are it will for you too.
