RevTheWeb users can register for coupons at www.revtheweb.com or via the "coupons" button within the RevTheWeb product. Upon registering, users have the opportunity to print grocery coupons for a wide variety of products. These offers change each week, similar to a Sunday circular format.
"While speed is a great benefit, RevTheWeb is not just about free Internet acceleration," said Michael J. Parrella, CEO, Artera Group, Inc.

We are pleased to offer our users this excellent benefit."
RevTheWeb is a free Internet acceleration service that enables web surfers to access the Internet five times faster through a dial-up line and three times faster through a broadband connection - such as DSL or a cable modem. The service also works with ISDN, wireless and satellite, and with virtually all Internet Service Providers. The service is an excellent choice for those consumers who cannot get broadband because of their physical location, or do not want to pay for a faster connection.
