| Juiceboosted is not using ADSL or Cable - they claim to be able to use dial-up (56K) and super-compression technology (that does NOT exist) to achieve 2mbit speeds.
ADSL requires dedicated hardware at the CO and operates at a different frequency than POTS (dial-up). Cable is not related to dial-up in anyway, so why does the fact that it exists make JB legit? |

Get your facts straight, you're confusing DSL and dial-up. |

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. 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. |

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; |
