INFOCHANNEL INTRODUCES
ACCELERATED DIAL-UP POWERED BY PROPEL SOFTWARE
Dial-up Users Will Now Surf the Web up to 5 Times Faster
InfoChannel continues
its strong tradition of being the first to bring innovative
IT products to the Jamaican market with the introduction
of Marathon Accelerator Internet service, the first
accelerated browsing dial-up service to be offered
locally. Marathon Accelerator offers unlimited access
and uses Speed Surf an acceleration software programme
that allows users to browse the Internet up to five
times faster using a regular dial-up connection.
Nicholine
Dixon, InfoChannel’s Marketing Manager,
explained that Speed Surf is InfoChannel’s brand
name for acceleration-technology software developed
by Propel Software Corporation, a San Jose California
based company. Propel was founded by Steve Kirsch,
a Silicon Valley entrepreneur and IT pioneer, whose
previous efforts have been snapped-up by giants like
the Disney Corporation and Adobe. “We are pleased
to working with InfoChannel to bring this important
service to the Jamaican market,” said Steve Kirsch,
founder and CEO of Propel. “Not everyone has
access to broadband, and with SpeedSurf, powered by
Propel, InfoChannel is offering a powerful alternative.”
Marathon Accelerator with the Speed Surf software
brings an enhanced Internet product, previously available
only in the United States through market leaders such
as EarthLink, to an increasingly demanding Jamaican
market.
Marathon
Accelerator is being offered to new customers at
the competitive price of US$ 35.00 per month, and
will be offered to existing Marathon customers as a
free upgrade. Users are supported by InfoChannel’s
Customer Care Representatives every day of the week,
including weekends. This innovative new product should
excite the Jamaican market, particularly the prime
target users in the 15-35 age group who have enthusiastically
embraced the power of the Internet.
InfoChannel
has been at the forefront of the battle for the deregulation
of the telecommunications industry
in Jamaica. InfoChannel also offers many innovative
IT related products such as NetKyaad, a prepaid Internet
access card and Yap Jack, a voice over Internet phone
(VOIP) system, which allows tremendous savings to users
on overseas telephone calls. Marathon Accelerator is
another in a long line of InfoChannel’s innovations
into the Jamaican market and should help the company
retain its position as one of the leaders in Jamaican
Internet Service Providers.
