Re: The site reads
im sorry but how exactly does this add up to a scam? I am just not seeing how anyone has proved anything against this juice thing. They claim to have a new technology and while I dont see anything proving it's existance yet (becuase i have only been doing research for an hour now at 5am and I am tired) I do not see anything that proves that they dont have it. Am I missing something huge? Maybe becuase I am tired I just cant catch it. But I keep reading the alert and I dont see anything specific as to what or why or how it is what you are all claiming it to be. I do agree that the way some of it is written is a bit stupid. "way past faster than broadband" has to be the best line ever. But still ... please help me out here ... |

Yeah, and I bet you were one of those jacknozzles who defended that company that had developed "perfect compression" a few years ago on here..
What was their name? I forget completely, because nothing became of them.
How's this, sporto:
NO technology can stop all spam with e-mail the way it is.
NO technology can make dialup faster than broadband.
NO technology can detect that the person chatting on the other end of the line is really a 47 year old naked guy.
Nevermind for FREE, and they'll PAY YOU IF YOU GET A SPAM/VIRUS.
It's called COMMON SENSE, "antho2000". |

|  Broadband on dialup IS possible, it's called ADSL!
Well, I do agree that this looks like a scam, but revolutionary compression techniques would allow for greater bandwidth!
ADSL uses "dial-up" to achieve broadband, remember?
But all the other promises they make are ridiculous...

Re: Broadband on dialup IS possible, it's called ADSL!
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. |

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; |
