Looking for a free Internet access service that contains no banner advertising can be a difficult task. Few providers exist that can provide reliable free Internet access with no banners.
The other day I sat down to check my email and began to sign on when all of a sudden I heard that dreaded busy signal! I tried a few more times to sign on to no avail. It's understandable though, the popularity of using a free isp for internet access has skyrocketed just like paid ISP's a few years ago.
Why pay for Internet access when you can get it for free? That how I, and millions of other 'surfers', are thinking these days. In fact a recent study showed that by the year 2003, more than 13 million U.S. households will be using a free ISP to access the internet.
When looking for a free internet access provider, you want to try to find a service that's a local call for you. Some services show ads, others don't. Some services require that you provide them with detailed information about yourself, while others don't ask.
Many people have cancelled their subscriptions with their current ISP in favor of free internet access. But should you cancel your current service right away and replace it with free internet access? No.
Have you ever used free internet service access and found them to be slower, or have "sluggish downloads"? Though the Internet as a whole can suffer from slowdowns that will affect you no matter who your ISP is, your ISP actually plays a large role in how fast you can view web pages.
If you're like me, you have probably had a chance to try a free ISP in an effort to save that monthly fee that we pay to our regular ISP month after month. But, what about that banner that is visible at the bottom of the screen? How do I make the banner seem insignificant in relation to the page I am viewing?
Unfortunately, we have been unable to locate a major free ISP that supports Linux. Freewwweb used to be supported by almost all operating systems because it operated without the need for software, but they recently merged with Juno which does not support Linux at this time. Netzero is working on a Linux version as per a recent announcement, but it might not be ready for some time.
