The New Pacific Accelerator is free to our customers!



2x - 10x Dialup acceleration requires that you download and install the Pacific Accelerator software on your computer.
The Pacific Accelerator functions as a proxy server, intercepting your Internet requests and responses and compressing them for faster transmission in both directions.

Pacific Accelerator works on any kind of connection; dialup or broadband.
Pacific Accelerator requires a dialup account to login with Pacific Internet to function.
Use your pacific.net dialup username and password when it asks for it.
Specify your full username like so: "username@pacific.net" not just "username".

Some antivirus, spam filter and popup blocking software may also function as a proxy server on your computer and may interfere with the Pacific Accelerator.
In these cases, the Pacific Accelerator should give you an appropriate error message.
You must uninstall or disable either the Pacific Accelerator or the other program in these cases.

Local Access Dialup Numbers

Pacific Internet offers a variety of dialup options.
This allows our users to select the option that works best for them.

The table below summarizes the options.

*You must use "username@pacific.net" as your username when using these 'outside CA' access numbers.
Nationwide(outside CA) dialup numbers are not available in all areas.
Use the lookup to see if your location has a local access number.
If you don't find a local access number for your area, please contact us.
We may have a newer number that is not listed here.

** Accelerated Dialup lines do not increase connection speed, they increase
web page loading time by compressing data between you and the server.
This reduces the amount of data that has to be transferred and so
speeds up your session. Typical speed-up is 2x to 10x, but varies depending
on the type of content on the web pages. Text and Images compress very
well, but some content may not benefit from compression.
