High-speed dial-up works through acceleration servers, file compression, filtering, and caching. Acceleration servers can reduce handshake processes by 50% to prevent data loss. File compression uses lossless compression for text and lossy compression for photos and graphics. Lossless compression ensures the compressed data matches the original while lossy compression does not. Filtering blocks pop-up ads through a bundled pop-up blocker. Caching allows browsers to check for duplicate pictures and text from previously loaded pages, avoiding redownloading unchanged items to accelerate loading.
