| mtomm's Full Review: Worldshare |
After the untimely demise of my favorite free ISP, Worldspy, and my next favorite and back up ISP Freewwweb, having been bought out by the most awful and terrible Juno, I was forced to go searching for another free ISP. Having gone to free I could never see going back to paying for Internet access. I thought the most logical and easy way to find the best one was to look on Epinions.
Thanks to some great reviews I was able to find WorldShare. Now it is not exactly free. They say it is, but they actually ask for at least $10 and upwards, as donation in order to start the download so it requires your credit card or a check. This is a yearly fee. And you have to designate a non-profit organization to support. Not sure what that was about, but their choices were numerous and chances are you probably are involved in one of them already, if not, maybe you should be. They will also send you surveys that you fill out in order to keep the service.
But after having read the positive reviews about WorldShare I felt it was worth taking the risk, and they did have several local dial-up numbers for my somewhat rural location.
Why I have been overwhelmingly pleased with my service:
*The sign-up, download and set up were a cinch.
*I connect in less than 30 seconds. This is record time compared to all the other paid and free ISP’s I have tried.
* I have never had a busy signal or had to try another dial up number other than the first.
* I have never been disconnected or dropped.
*THERE IS NO BANNER! I repeat myself for emphasis: THERE IS NO BANNER!
By far and away an outstanding ISP whether it is “free” or paid. I feel the $1.25 per month is a bargain for this service.
