Default Any dialup users got aol turbocharger?

Where i live we cant get broadband so were stuck with dialup atm so my dad (yes i still live with daddy lol) got that Australia on line turbocharger. It does seem to load pages and pics quicker (but not vids and music but it doesnt claim to either) but i have noticed some pics will come up blurry at times and also i seem to loose my connection alot now. I was just wondering if anyone else is using this and has run into the same problems.

CHEERS!

they claim to be like the speed of broadband or something...what a lie!
i dont have dialup anymore but when i did i used alot of download accelerators and programs nothing really worked 100%...only so much can go down the good ol phone line... have you checked ISDN as an option or telstra have some subsidy or something for remote area users and well get satellite if its worth it (this gets up to 10mb/s)

good luck
