The average home or work network has two or more computers accessing the internet simultaneously. Whether they are sending e-mail attachments, making internet VoIP phone calls or playing games online, their applications will have an effect on one another as each application fights for bandwidth in a specific network. The result is a slowdown in ALL applications called "internet lag."

The Broadband Booster is a plug and play device that is placed between your internet modem and router that eliminates "internet lag" in your network. It manages and "boosts" your internet applications as they exit your network onto the internet for a more efficient usage of your network's bandwidth. The result is a "lag-free" experience from all internet applications!

What Others are Saying About the Broadband Booster:

"...the HBB1 did a stellar job of preventing the FTP upload from degrading VoIP traffic."

"Latency, known as "packet loss" in benchmarking terms, almost disappeared on a Vonage VoIP account.  We tested multiple FTP uploads, Xbox and PC online gaming, and even fired up all those activities plus a Web conferencing session simultaneously and noticed very little packet loss.  The HBB1 certainly performs better than the Quality of Service features found on some routers..."

"The numbers and figures speak for themselves. The Hawking Broadband Booster really makes a difference when a game or any other time-sensitive application has to share an Internet connection with other applications.
We stressed the Hawking Broadband Booster and the device responded in all scenarios, proving that it offers not just a marginal but a considerable improvement when it attaches to a home network. Even if in some situations games were not playable (because we intentionally created the worst scenarios), it is impossible to pass up the performance enhancement that results from putting the HBB1 into work."
