Memory Enhancement - NetZero HiSpeed 3G uses caching technology to store elements of frequently visited Web sites so they load faster on future visits. So in addition to an immediate boost, your surfing will get even faster as you continue to use NetZero HiSpeed 3G.
Continuous Optimization - NetZero HiSpeed 3G continuously optimizes the communication between your system's modem and our network while you are online. That means that it is always working to shorten the amount of time it takes to connect you to the sites you visit.
Pop-Up Blocking - NetZero HiSpeed 3G features a pop-up blocker, which means that you no longer have to wait for annoying pop-up ads to load.
