Re: Broadband on dialup IS possible, it's called ADSL!
"Broadband is ADSL. Broadband is the marketing term used because it was realised that most people could not cope with asymmetric digital subscriber line."
um no, Broadband was a term coined to cover protocols and such that could handle and send large amounts of data, Satellite, ISDN and Cable are classed as broadband. So ADSL is broadband, but not the other way around; |

Broadband is ADSL. Broadband is the marketing term used because it was realised that most people could not cope with asymmetric digital subscriber line. This scam just proves they were right. As Barnum said "There's one born every minute." I guess he underestimated the numbers.
There are other variations of broadband sdsl, vdsl ad infinitum but they are all variations on the technology.
A thought occurs. If this had been launched to go live on 1st April everyone would have smelled it immediately. Therefore move it 6 months and you have the world's biggest gotcha! Let's hope it is no more malicious than this. However it has still been a very successful human generated virus with all the emails it has created.
What do you need? A PC, webspace and some technical knowhow to create a site which most 10 year olds and up have these days.
Could be the biggest joke yet. At least you now know who your stupidist friends are and who to trust for advice. |

Sorry but ADSL doesn't actually use "Dial up" it uses the same wiring, but it operates at a different frequency to the standard phone network, and is a Digital signal as the name implies. A "Dial up" connection uses the standard telephone network sending Analogue signals using a modem (MOdulator DEModulator) to convert the digital data to an analogue signal and convert it back to digital data at the other end. Telephone calls are Analogue signals. This Juice Boost is a total scam, there are no two ways about it. |

Well, I do agree that this looks like a scam, but revolutionary compression techniques would allow for greater bandwidth!
sorry, 42kbps is 42kbps, no matter how shitty you make the graphics look. |

ADSL uses "dial-up" to achieve broadband, remember?
But all the other promises they make are ridiculous...
