Since I'll be talking about modem boosters, tweakers, speed notchers, etc., I would also like to stress that some of these modem programs do not work well with all situations. I tried out the inKline Global Modem Booster 2.5, in which the name itself for a modem booster was very appealing. Yes, 'cause it sounded as digital and electronic as
digital information technology itself! Unfortunately, I tried it out with my friend's 56Kbps modem backed up, of course, with dial-up internet service to no avail.
Yes, I'm afraid my internet browsing capabilities were as sluggish as with every dial-up internet connection after using the program. But, when I tried it out with my SpeedStream ADSL modem, it improved the speed of my broadband internet connection by a whopping 200%! You see, most modem boosters and tweakers react differently with different conditions, in which results are as varied as the modems and internet connections that the people of the world use.
The inKline Global
Modem Booster 2.5 tweaks the settings of your internet connection by going through a series of tests. These tests include trying out different internet settings, benchmarking tests on your modem, as well as tweaking your system's internet settings numerous times (so as to arrive with just the right set of preferences for your modem, system, and internet connection). When it does this, I suggest you go and watch a blockbuster flick or something. Yes, it takes that long for it to finish with the boosting process! Since this program is shareware, try it before shelling out those nuggets. It costs around $20, but in case the good doesn't work well with what you have, then you don't have to buy it now, do you?
