| SParkfan77's Full Review: The Simpsons (by 1stUp) |
The Simpson’s aren’t just a funny TV show, it is a high speed dial-up free ISP. I have been writing a lot of free ISP reviews lately, but I felt that it was necessary to write one for the Simpson’s. I first downloaded it as a joke, not caring how well it preformed, as long as it was the Simpson’s. I found out that it is more than just a name; it is one of the best Internet services that I have ever used.
I have been using this service for about a week now, like I said I wasn’t expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised. Instead of having a slow, difficult service like the other free ISPs, the Simpson’s is different. They deliver a fast and easy to use dial-up Internet. I am using it as we speak. I can’t say this about many dial-up connections, but I have all the confidence that the Simpson’s will not kick me offline. Never have I been kicked offline. I cant say that about AOL.
Can you guess what my connection speed is? Its 56K!! I have been connected once or twice at 56K on AOL and I pay $21.99 a month. The Simpson’s is free. I don’t see how this has anything to do with the Simpson’s. The dial-up screen, and the ISP icon are related to the Simpson’s. That’s it. Although it won’t deliver your thirst for the Simpson’s, it will deliver, high-speed quality connections. So how does the Simpson’s free ISP compare to the other free ISP’s? Let see how the Simpson’s stacks up. Ratings from one to five stars.
Here’s The Breakdown
-------------------------------------------------------
Connections
*****
I know that I have said that Alta Vista offers the best free connections, but the Simpson’s ISP is a competitor. The fast connections are also reliable. I have never once been booted offline. That’s good because when I write Epinions online, I always fear that AOL will sign me off and I will lose everything. On the Simpson’s, I am fully confident that each connections is a strong and unbreakable connection.
-------------------------------------------------------
Website
*****
This site has a nice Simpson’s theme. This is the only major part of this network that has anything to do with the Simpson’s. Oh well, please don’t get this ISP thinking that it is going to be filled with Simpson’s sounds, or a Simpson’s feel, because it isn’t. it is just another internet connections. All they have in common is the name.
-------------------------------------------------------
Overall
*****
A perfect score! I really believe that this free ISP has a great setup, it is easy to use, and the connections will make you think that you are paying money for your Internet service. I would much rather has this than AOL any day. I’m sorry if you’re sick of my writing about free ISPs, but this one is one of the best and I suggest you downloading it today.
Bottom Line: If you had to choose one free ISP to download, choose Alta Vista, if you had two to choose from, choose the Simpson’s.
