| ensignbetsy's Full Review: MyPoints Connect! (by 1stUp) |
I was really leary about trying a free ISP. Afterall, you get what you pay for. Right? In this case I would say wrong.
I was trying to navigate around on AOL one night, getting more, and more frustrated. I was constantly getting stuck, and getting kicked off. I decided to try the free ISP off of one of my favorite websites. It was My Points Connect. I figured if I payed for AOL, and it was that bad, a free ISP has to be horrible.
After downloading the software, I was ready to give it a whirl. Boy was I pleasantly surprised! I could get from site to site without getting timed out, or booted off. It moved quickly, and I had better internet access than I had had for awhile.
The icing on the cake is earning points for free stuff. I earned a pearl necklace, and some phone cards already. If you have read any of my other reviews, you know that I am frugal, and I love free stuff!
I kept the very smallest AOL program I could, just to keep my e-mail address, but I haven't been on AOL for anything other than reading my mail in months.
My Points Connect is one of the best ISP's I've tried, free or not.
