Pros: Free Cons: Becomes The Master of Your Computer
I signed up for NetZero for one simple reason. When my ISP had a problem I wanted an optional dial up number to access the internet. BIG MISTAKE!
The software that makes NetZero work is easy enough to download and set up. They had a...

Pros: Uh, it's still free... for forty hours a month Cons: slow connections, plenty of disconnects and busy signals, only forty hours a month
Okay, maybe it happened because I was always so smug to the rest of the world who was pays for Internet Service Providers. I have been utilizing free ISPs for a couple of years now and quite happy to blow that $240 a year average on something...

Pros: -Barely decent BACKUP connection
-Free service, free email Cons: - Plenty of spam for you to "enjoy"
My mother kept nagging me, "When are you going to download Netzero, huh?", over and over like a mantra. So of course I'm like, "Ok mom, I'll see how it works." See I did. As soon as I set it up I was annoyed relentlessly by horrible ads taking up...

Pros: Free, No Monthly Credit Card Charge Cons: Annoying pop-up reminder re ads
NetZero saved me when FreeInternet died out. I'd been using FreeI for quite awhile, when I noticed it getting slower and slower til, finally, it just rolled over and died! Luckily, they recommended their clients switch over to NetZero prior to...

Pros: Free internet connection and free email account Cons: Can't really play online games without hacking the Zeroport
Benefits of Netzero

Pros: Biggest on-line surprise since Napster... Cons: Wish there were more like it...
Kinda reminds me of a decade ago when Big Papa Bush was controlling media access to his computer war against Saddam Insane. The Big Three (CBS, NBC, ABC) were in a world of Excedrin headaches with video blackouts and silent screens that allowed little...

Pros: Gives you a POP email address, and Usenet newsgroups Cons: No~Macintosh~version, Large~download, They~cancelled~my~account~for~no~reason, Maximum 40 hours/month~otherwise,$9.95/mo.
Ah, yet another Macintosh perspective from herjazz:
I'm lucky enough to have had DSL and Cable Modem access where I live, but as a backup, I always have a couple of free ISP programs handy on my Macintosh. With the "dot-bomb"...

What's better than a Free Internet?
An Internet that works.

-Bad support for browsers other than IE,

Pros: connection reliability Cons: a few redials
For whatever reason, I tried my fair share of free ISP's recently and, while I have a hard time giving any of them much credit, I can honestly say that NetZero is one of the better ones out there.
Connection Reliability:

Pros: Free for now and no cost if you stay within the monthly limit. Cons: The monthly limit is getting shorter and shorter and will eventually no longer be free.
It had only been less than six months after switching from AOL to Freeinternet that an email appeared to let me know that Freeinternet was now changing to NetZero. Sure, I had heard the commercials advertising that the internet should be free and the...
