Some web pages take too long to download.

This is usually caused by images/graphics on web pages. Downloading images will significantly degrade your Internet experience due to their size and lack of compressibility. Remember, your Iridium data connection is not as fast as the landline connections to which you may be accustomed. Try these tips:

• Configure your browser to NOT automatically download images, especially since most images are banners, logos, and advertisements that you probably do not need anyway. See the Application Notes document for further assistance.
• Browse the Internet via common, fast-loading web portals such as www.yahoo.com or www.lycos.com.
