All of the free ISPs are dead

[ablang]

Since 1stup and Spinway are gone, the very soul of the the free ISPs are now dead. Even B&N doesn't work anymore.

And I'll bet the American Express ISP doesn't work either.

Guess I'm stuck using AOL 6.0 now.

What of BlueLight, FreeLane, NetZero ?

Freelane working good here in NY Yes it does have an ad banner. So far no time limit like Netzero. I just checked their phone listing they show a number that may be local in your area. http://freelane.excite.com/

Bluelight is working fine, Kmart took it over, but are now limiting hours.They have unspoken changes planned for Feb.

I hope not! I am still using Juno as the back up to my Verizon DSL. It won't bother me if they restrict me to 40 hrs on line per month, since the only time I use it is when the DSL is down. [probably less than 1 hour per month http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif]

They all limit time now (the big boys), but to me, they might as well be dead cause I'm not going to risk paying 99 cents/addt'l hour.

juno is doing some **** where you can only log on before 4am eastern time. so, what are the free isp's that currently work?

[tjseven]

Bluelight.com- 25 hours then they shut you out... til the following month. No chance of charges though!

I hope so, because AOL 6.0 is a piece of big trash. I'd rather run a free ISP w/ a banner than run AOL.
