Hi all just thought that id ask YOUR opinion on if Free ISPs are cool. Talk about any FREE ISP and if you feel its right for it to be there. In my opinion its in the middle whitch is lock kinda cool kinda not. But my opinion doesnt matter very much to me. Im looking for your opinion. Post as many times as you like about free ISPs and such, and when were all done chatting about opinions on free ISPs ill go over all of your post and come out with the answer yes or no. So please im asking everyone to post on this thread. All who do you have my gratitude. Also visit my site at www.ssw.trap17.com its not ready yet but post on the Xoops forum and ill find you something to do.

In my opinion free isps suck. I mean either you only get a few minutes each month, your computer is blasted with pop-ups, or it's down a lot. Of cource free hosting is always dail-up so it's superslow. I would suggest cheap hosting though. Like access4less . I mean access4less is only 5 bucks a month. how great is that? They even give you email! That's a lot for $5 a month. Even though I use gmail instead of the email they give me. If you are really broke then I guess you can get one of those free isps that blast you with pop-ups and get a pop-up filter. Well if you do get a pop-up filter you have to pay for it. And that pretty much renders the use of free internet access useless.

They arent really worth your time unless you need internet acces in an emergency and the computer already has a modem on it. The net-zero sign up file fits in a floppy disk and its quite useful to have around. But there are better ips out there, and some charge as little as $5 a month for dial-up.

When will you people learn, no one will give you anything for free !!! Remember that ! Everyone who gives you something for "free" has some profits (usually from pop-ups, dialers...) using adware and spyware. If you want to have anything good you'll have to pay for it !
