Re: Uhhh....

Bellsouth it not really doing false advertising here. Joi is making claims that you get DSL speed on dial-up which is patently false.

Bellsouth is making a claim that you surf (as in surf the web) 5x faster than standard dial-up with use of their Accelerator technology. This is not necessarily false because 'Accelerator' is really just a caching system similar to the one that NetZero uses to speed up web browsing.

Wouldn't that be considered surfing your cache?

IMO, both companies are stretching the truth just a tad.
