[Rodopi] IKANO, wholesale dial-up

[Paul Moore]

Cary, Slipstream allows you to adjust the quality of the images you see. Being that images are the main reason for slowly opening pages, it seems fit to pixilate them to the nth degree. You can also right click an image and say 'show original image'. I don't see this as a problem, but a blessing. I'm not one who surfs for pictures; it is the text that I'm after and most internet users. IMHO all web accelerators are going to have adverse side affects and it boils down to which one you customers prefer to use.

I tried Slipstream last night from Global Pops and didn't like it nearly as well as Artera. I didn't think the image quality was nearly as good as Artera. To me, Slipstream seemed to degrade the picture severely. At highest compression setting, Artera is just "barely objectionable", although I realize that is a personal decision. I think Artera's logon process is too long, they don't use Radius Auth, but some other scheme.

I have not heard any positive feedback on IKANO in quite a while. They were pretty good a few years back and then started slipping as they got bigger. Erik L. M.

I've heard good things about GlobalPOPS but have no experience, and I've heard very negative about IKANO but it is second hand. For accelerator we've used XL which is Altera (sp?) through Yournetplus, I only rate this as fair, the accelerator software works ok but support from YNP is weak. The other issue is that if the machine has different users on it using the same dialup connection, and each with their own windows logon, the accelerator will work only with one, very bad. I don't know if Slipstream has this issue or not.

If you've outsourced wholesale dialup services (e.g., to IKANO, Slipstream, Global POPs or someone else), which company did you choose and what's your experience been? We're looking closely at IKANO, and would love some honest feedback about their services. We'll be integrating with RODOPI and Vircom VOP RADIUS. Thanks in advance.
