Dialup users – Make Orkut load faster with the Low Bandwidth Version
Orkut today brought out a light and zippier version of the site targeted at users who are accessing it on a dial up or a low bandwidth connection.
Dial up users – in order to activate and use the Orkut site in its stripped down, low bandwidth version, you need to do the following:
- Go to Orkut ‘General Settings’
- In the page, under ‘Low Bandwidth’ select ‘Show the low bandwidth version of Orkut’
- Click ‘Save Changes’
You can now start browsing Orkut in your very low speed dialup connection. It’s really a big time saver too. Images will be missing, but can be loaded only upon request.

Yups. That will be great for some of my friends, who are still stuck with dial-up.
The mobile version doesn’t support communities.

@Aravind: I didn’t notice its lack of support for communities. Thanks for telling us
@Nirmal: I don’t think so, with images it loads a bit slow.
@Madhur: Yep! Glad you’ll find it useful.
