Pros: Free, CD available at K-Mart Cons: Slow, sometimes hard to connect, annoying bar, program flaws, "Yahoo!"
I can no longer stand to use the free ISP "BlueLight". I cannot take the stress, the anger, and the frustration. I want nothing to do with this ISP any more, because it is just not worth it. It doesn't even fall into my "backup ISP" category any more....

Pros: Free, and it works! Cons: Nada
BlueLight.com
For those of you who have been following my occasional computer reviews, you will remember I have previously tried and reported on two free Internet service providers, Juno and Worldspy. For those of you who haven’t been...

Pros: Free Cons: Doesn't work
I don't use a dial-up connection at home for the most part, since I have a cable modem. Recently though I bought a laptop, and for that I do need a dialup connection. I have AOL and use that via a TCP/IP connection, but there are additional charges...

Pros: Pretty fast, not a resource hog Cons: Occasional disconnects and some weird side effects
My regular internet connection is not especially speedy. Basically, I have a dial-up account to my Dad's DSL connection at my parents' house. The upside to this is that it's free; the downside is that at a maximum speed of 28.8k bps, it's slow. ...

Pros: Free Cons: Consumer of resources
Brought to us by our friends at K-Mart and Yahoo!, this free internet service with a rather extensive line up of dial-up numbers covering over 95% of the US, has improved their service but not to the point where I would consider it as a back-up...

Pros: Free - Yahoo powered Cons: Ad bar and ads
This is only the beginning! Curious about BlueLight.com, and seeking another ISP to accompany AOL on my laptop, I headed over to Kmart. At the checkout I grabbed a copy of BlueLight.com’s free CD for installing their free ISP.
While I...

Pros: good speed and efficiency Cons: now only 25 hours a month
When I was looking for a free ISP I was looking for a Great website, and an easy download. BlueLight, a subsidiary of Yahoo and Kmart, seemed to fit. However I couldn't find a access number that wasn't long distance to me. That didn't really matter TOO...

Pros: Free Cons: Ad Bar, Personal Data, Major Restrictions
Update (2/22) -- Bluelight has now reduced your monthly allowance to 12 hours. In addition, they are routinely kicking us off the service after 45 minutes. Therefore, we're reducing the rating to two stars. See ya,...

Pros: FREE!!! Not forced to click banner ads, no pop-ups Cons: Messed up my computer!!!
The following opinion was written quite awhile ago, while I was still a user of Bluelight.com's free ISP. At the time, everything seemed wonderful...simple download, easy to use, etc. Well, eventually that wall crumbled down and the illusion faded....

Pros: It's another free ISP, so it decreases excess membership to other free ISP's. Cons: More than just the usual ad banner and start page (which it has)... also has slow connection speed and crashes all the time!
Anyone remember the movie "Rain Man"? My allusion to the movie is quite appropo, I think. Read on to see why.
As you can see by the tons of reviews on this free ISP, word of the "Blue Light Special" has gotten around. But why...

Pros: Principle Sounds Great at First Cons: Difficult to Install, and Messes Up My Internet Explorer Settings
When KMart announced that they were going to offer free Internet service through a service appropriately named Bluelight.com I eagerly awaited with anticipation. However, I have to say that I tired of waiting for a product that will refuse to...

Pros: Easy to configure, reliable service Cons: My primary number was busy a lot -- but the secondary number always picked up
Over the last six months, I have relied on freewwweb.com as my internet service provider while I travel. Unfortunately, on my last business trip I found the freewwweb connection to be out of service. Since I am a total Internet junkie, there was no way I...

Pros: Runs smoothly, Free, not as obtrusive as some other free services Cons: Only 12 hours free per month unless you buy from Bluelight
I have written a previous epinion (a somewhat embarrasing writing job-one of my first epinions doodlings) about Bluelight internet service, at a time when it’s hosting partner was Spinnaker Software. Now that Spinnaker has gone away, Bluelight has a new...

Pros: It hangs in. Cons: Let you know.
Power user? That's too mild. I'm a certified, DOS-crash-alum, envelop-pushing ram-taxing, multi-tasking guy.
40 mb hard drives to 2K office T1s, memory is pushed to the max -- to the pleasing whir of machines in the very throes of...

Pros: faster dialup, affordable price Cons: it's still dial-up
About 3.5 years ago when my wife and I found out we were getting charged over $20 per month for Compuserve dial-up Internet service, we knew we had to find something else that would work. We decided to try out the Kmart Internet service named ...
