There is a service - JUICE, which is set to launch on Oct. 1, is
promising free high-speed Net access via any regular telephone line.
Juice will work with your existing ISP and is "four times quicker
than broadband." Juice also offers a popular referral program in
which you can earn commissions for referring others to the service.
(International availability).

Everytime somebody starts a thread about this nonsense it gets deleted. I don't give this thread much longer.

Pesonaly I don't see how this can work, because even if you have a 56K V.92 modem, your speed will be limited to that know matter what, other factors might be line noise, distance from central office, and how busy the modem pools are, even if eveythingwas in an ideal state to get the fastest speed you limited to the speed of the modem your using. No dialup connection can ever be faster than broadband or DSL regardless of what you try to do.

Juice Boosted Scam
Pyramid Scam roars on

As we mentioned last week, a scam outfit is taking the bold claims of dial-up compression over the line, promising users not only free "broadband", but also payment if users receive spam, a 404 error, or virus once their phantom product is installed. As ongoing discussion in our our forums indicates, the scammers have ripped off their site design from a legit dial-up compression service dubbed OnSPeed. While dial-up compression providers often skirt legal guidelines (and occasionally cross them), they're usually bright enough to avoid outright fraud. One user points us to lengthy discussion over at the Scam.com forums as well. It's frightening that there's any debate over the legitimacy of the operation's ridiculous claims.

Dial-up compression software doesn't work. I have tried NetZero high speed which uses the same concept, and in order to get the higher speeds, you have to make the image quality look like crap.
