Native advertising for non-notable traffic-shaping software reffed almost entirely to primary sources, with the lone exception mentioning the subject only in passing. Prodded and deleted five years ago and contested after the fact on the flimsy strength of three reviews: one user-submitted, and two self-published (by the same author, on his blog). Readily googles, but if there's anything reliable out there I haven't been able to find it amongst the mountains of decade-old SEO of which this article was part. —Cryptic 06:21, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

      The book notes on page 81: "Salah satu cara yang bisa Anda gunakan untuk mempercepat (meng-optimalkan) koneksi internet adalah dengan menggunakan cFosSpeed, aplikasi ini berfungsi untuk mempercepat koneksi internet. Cara kerja cFosSpeed adalah mengkompres bandwidth yang besar sehingga bisa berukuran kecil, dengan demikian aliran data yang dikirim bisa menjadi lebih cepat. cFosSpeed tersedia dalam beberapa pilihan, sesuai dengan jenis koneksi internet yang Anda gunakan, diantaranya Internet Acceleration by Traffic shaping, Dial-up software for high-speed internet access dan Dial-up software for DSL and ISDN."

      From Google Translate: "One way that you can use to speed up (optimize) your internet connection is to use cFosSpeed, this application serves to speed up internet connections. The way cFosSpeed works is to compress a large bandwidth so that it can be small, thus the flow of data sent can be faster. cFosSpeed is available in several options, depending on the type of internet connection you are using, including Internet Acceleration by Traffic shaping, Dial-up software for high-speed internet access and Dial-up software for DSL and ISDN."

      The book discusses how to set up cFosSpeed.

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow cFosSpeed to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
