I have CHANGED my opinion!

by Elitegifts , Mar 01 '00
Pros: earning points, easy
Cons: free DSL access ~~yeah right~~
***My NEW opinion on FreeDSL***

Scheduled to launch in March 2000, I WAS anxiously waiting for the "free" High Speed Digital DSL Internet service. I stumbled upon FreeDSL.com about a week back and signed up for it immediately. With...

Finally Here!!

by BeachShopper , Dec 11 '00
Pros: Fast, cheap, very reliable so far.
Cons: Service agreement changes, only available in a few areas
Ok,

So it's not actually free. They changed their name to reflect this, I think. They're now officially Winfire.

Anyway, my external USB modem finally has arrived! Only took about 10 months.

Last February 2000, the...

Think People!

by radio1_mike , Jun 01 '00
Pros: It's Says Free
Cons: A Few Years Early
Update

Hey! Well, WinFire is finally ramping it up! It's available in my local metro (Boston) area. The deals are the same. The free service they offer, is roughly 2.5x fast as a 56k modem. But it is free.

But!...

FREE DSL?!?!?!?!?!

by ippey69 , Mar 06 '00
Pros: Free DSL Service and Modem
Cons: An Ad-bar
With all the hype about Netzero and FreeI as your free dial-up internet providers, a new service has come through. Its called FreeDSL and it's exactly what you could guess from the name. You run an ad-bar(which is smaller than any other ad-bar I've ever...

FREE BUT NOT SO EASY

by markjfeueresq , Jan 06 '00
Pros: FREE AND VERY FAST
Cons: YOU NEED 10 SIGNED-UP REFERRALS TO GET A FREE DSL MODEM; THERE IS ALSO A MANDATORY AD BANNER
Free DSL. What a terrific idea. I runs circles around the other free ISP services because it is FAST.

Although the cost of DSL service has been dropping the last few months, I prefer to get it free. Why spend $30.00 to $50.00 per month, for...

Another ad bar in the running for me

by tag_1234 , Apr 05 '00
Pros: fast, small bar, better than other services, free modem
Cons: ads, slower DSL, have to sign up 10 for modem
FreeDSL.com offers a wonderful service in an overpriced, high bandwidth market. There are over 100 free ISP's offering internet access for members who run a bar that displays advertisements. The main change from this is that almost all of the others are...

"Bunch of Liars"

by fisps , Oct 22 '00
Pros: Actually offers free DSL
Cons: Ads, Pay for modem
FreeDSL was the first free DSL provider. After FreeDSL, many other "free DSL" companies emerged. It's always true, that the first provider of its kind gets the most members.

When I first heard about FreeDSL, I have to admit, I was...

No more Analog Service (9/11/00)

by showard , Jun 11 '00
Pros: servicable and free
Cons: losing analog in a week
I've been on the waiting list for freedsl.com's dsl service for a couple of weeks. Think that, despite our rural location, I'll be qualified thanks to our optical fiber feed from Bell Atlantic. (You don't necessarily have to be within the 2 mile radius...

Not yet - but 56k is on.

by daklown , Aug 02 '00
Pros: Excellent 56k connection while we wait for free dsl.
Cons: Delays in getting the dsl setup.
The rollout was slower than expected so Freedsl added a temporary free 56k dialup connection. I'm anxiously awaiting the Free DSL but am enjoying the current dialup at 56k while I wait.

The concept of Free internet service has been around...

DSL At A Price Anyone Can Afford, But Has Ceased Operations

by BucthFL , Feb 24 '01
Pros: The Price Of $34.95, They Offer 3 Different DSL Service Plans
Cons: Slow In Delivering Modem, Toolbar Always Has To Be On When Your Online
Winfire has ceased operations & has filed for bankruptcy as of February 28, 2001!!

I have had my DSL service with Winfire now for the past 2 months. I have experienced both the good times with them & the bad times. But, since DSL is still...

DSL,all the way!

by Lmunro1268 , Feb 03 '00
Pros: DSL is super fast
Cons: Not all ISP's support it
For about two years ago I had 56k. Sure, two years ago it was considered the "fastest modem for the home user but then T1, ISDN and DSL made their appearances and became available for the person who had enough money but didn't have enough time. Now...

by johnbilyeu , Jan 27 '01
Pros: Great promises
Cons: They don't keep their promises
***update: Winfire never told us anything about their impending failure. I never received and will certainly never receive the modem I ordered OH so long ago***

I have been signed up for about 7 months now. Realizing that nothing is truly...

by jeremyf , Jan 16 '00
Pros: Very few.
Cons: Flawed system, not running yet, very hard to get it actually free
Free DSL? Wowzers. What a great idea! There are major concerns to be raised here, though.

First, we have yet to see if it will take off. It's very unlikely it will be available everywhere, and it's hard to see how the costs of a banner (like...
