Err...it uses compression to acheive 4x broadband speeds on dialup - I suspect therefore that it is NOT really broadband...

NO-ONE will get 4x broadband speeds on a 56k dialup link on a zip file for instance - you'll get 56k download!

CON surely?!

You get nothing for free in this world. If its too good to be true it isn't true.

Therefore its a con.

Yes, and you already get compression type programs for web use which claim to speed up downloads.

As someone else said, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
Still, there'll be thousands of mugs who sign up for it.....

Multi Level Marketing - Scam where you get a discount if you sell to X others, then you get a cut of their profits etc. Basically once you get 3 or 4 levels down everybody on the planet needs to be signed up for you to get anything.

Exclamation

Is this related to the http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=351069thread that i posted a couple of weeks ago?

See the http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=260&page=1&pp=10 (a mere 198 pages!!!) pointer for a "lively debate" on whether it is pukka or not!!!

Yeah. It's jucieboosted.

While I can see that it's just another MLM scheme that requires everyone on the planet to sign up before the top level people make any money, and that data compression that allows several zillion bits per second just ain't going to work on a 9600 baud dial up line, I can't see how the scammers make any money out of this.

Would anyone who knows more about this care to tell us how money is being made?
