Slingshot Xcelerator is a great introductory product into the world of high speed Internet as it allows customers to experience faster Web browsing for a fraction of the normal price.

With Slingshot Xcelerator customers can surf the Internet up to three times faster using their existing dial-up connection. “The great thing about Slingshot Xcelerator is there are no joining fees or expensive hardware to buy – at only $24.95 per month this is going to change the way people think about dial up Internet access,” says Slingshot CEO, Annette Presley.

Slingshot Xcelerator uses Slipstream technology which compresses and optimises Web content when it leaves the server to allow faster speeds when web browsing. This innovation enhances the customer experience when surfing and downloading most Web sites.

Existing Slingshot customers only have to pay an additional $8 per month on top of their flat rate dial up account at $16.95. Unlike other high-speed products, with Slingshot Xcelerator there are no download limits so customers can connect and surf at faster speeds as often as they like. “We are offering the first month absolutely free to existing and new Slingshot customers, and we’re confident that once customers have used Xcelerator they will never go back to normal dial up”

The launch of Slingshot Xcelerator further demonstrates Slingshot’s commitment to enhancing and lowering the cost of Internet for all New Zealanders.

Slingshot Xcelerator is available nationwide.
