It is an issue that affects everyone, from the business traveler to the Internet café user. Opera Turbo has become universally useful,” said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software.

Opera Turbo uses Opera’s powerful servers to compress Web pages, boosting browsing speeds on crowded Wi-Fi hotspots, tethered mobile phones and even dial-up internet links.

Opera Turbo can be found in Opera 10, and is a free download.
