The Last Mile ISP is a set of the software components, installation scripts, and service procedures that can deliver a two- to ten-fold improvement in client-side Web page download speed employing dynamic data compression technique first introduced in the Apache::Dynagzip module. It particularly improves the Web experience for users of slow PPP (dial-up) connections.

This state-of-the-art solution allows ISPs to benefit from:

• Greater customer satisfaction: End users experience significantly reduces content transmission times.
• Reduced latency: Apache::Dynagzip transfers the stream immediately, compressing data on-the-fly.
• Lower operating costs: Hardware requirements are reduced due to a smaller size of buffers required to store temporary content, synchronizing the speed of PPP connections with the Internet backbone.
• End-user hardware compatibility: No conflict with PPP data compression used in the current generation of modems.
• End-user browser usability: No client-side changes or additional software required.

Some ISPs have implemented similar solutions using various proprietary methods -- but most of these employ ordinary static gzip compression technology. Furthermore, providers such as peoplepc™ online and bluefrog.com both charge their dial-up subscribers $5.00 more per month for their respective accelerated products over their standard offerings.

We are committed to keeping The Last Mile ISP current with updates to Apache::Dynagzip to ensure future compatibility, and customization services for specific proxies are also available.

The Last Mile ISP is led by Slava Bizyayev, the creator of Apache::Dynagzip.
