One of the best

Advantages: Excellent free ISP
Disadvantages: Dial-up not free

I've been using Free-Online to supplement my main account for over a year now, and found it to be so good that I'm dropping Demon - why pay when you can get as much for free? I've recommended it to several people, and only heard of one problem - a web site vanished when they had problems when upgrading their servers. That can happen to anyone, I'm sure.

Particularly impressive is the way they keep your account and site alive even ...

Of late, their service has expanded - it's particularly impressive to have the web mail service, which lets you use your Free-Online mailboxes from any computer, without having to dial-in on a number which gives them a cut of the phone bill.

No Gimmics with Free Online

Advantages: Good solid Reliable ISP
Disadvantages: Not the fastest ISP

Free Online was one of the first 'free' Internet Service Providers starting just after Freeserve launched the revolution. They provided a good solid service with POP3 email, plenty of web space and a news server. The service has never been marketed very much, this has to be good news for the user with first time connections first time everytime. Although the speed of the service has slowly deteriorated over the years. If you are looking for a solid ...
