Worldshare

Pros: none if you expect a free ISP, otherwise you might fancy it
Cons: must pay now, unstable conditions

Love affairs are kept going by the presence of seven active elements that create the chemistry necessary for them, and for me, the love affair I’ve had for the past six months or so with the ISP, WorldShare.net, has gone stagnant or sour even, all of a...

Pros: no more surveys, inexpensive and no banners
Cons: not free for new members

Pros: no download needed, reliable access, options to pay or not pay for unlimited access
Cons: haven't used the ShareBar they offer soon

I finally received the major announcement they promised a few weeks ago about how they are going to change. They had promised their dial-up service would remain free and reliably fast with unlimited access. That, I have found out, will happen only if I...

Pros: reliable, free with little community service, no banners
Cons: can be slow to connect at heavy-use times

I had an email this morning from lap0530 about his update of Worldshare.net and when I tried logging into their website as a member, I couldn't. So I called their toll-free number and after a little wait, I talked with a very helpful and friendly...

Pros: free and easy
Cons: none

This is the ISP for you. It is easy to install and there are no annoying banners. This is especially good for those who have small monitors.

If you know someone who doesn't want a server like AOL. They just want to surf the web and receive...

Pros: Great Free Service No line drops or bad connections
Cons: Customizes Browser background

Worldshare.net, This is the best free ISP I have seen to date! PLUS NO ADS!!! I rate them VERY highly so far. There have been NO glitches and installation and setup is VERY simple. FREE, I love that. Even though I use a DSL connection at home, I use...

Pros: POP3 mail, clean uninstall
Cons: Inconsistent install/uninstall documentation, ill-behaved microportal program, inconsistent connection quality

UPDATE ** I was notified by WorldShare on 10/14/00 that they would be discontinuing their "free" option (ad-banner microportal) entirely by the end of October. They cited difficulties in securing solid business arrangements to pay the costs for...

Pros: widely available
Cons: not free and limits usage severely

Worldshare is NO LONGER FREE. Members were given three days to pay or be disconnected. Breaking promises of guaranteed free intent access, Worldshare startled and shocked its members by sending them email messages saying their banner ad sponsered access...

Pros: User friendly homepage, fast connection
Cons: No longer FREE ;-(

I was looking for a free ISP, so I read several of the reviews here on Epinions for an ISP that was rated at the top. I was impressed with most of the reviews written about Worldshare, so I decided to try it.

I joined Worldshare about four...

Pros: No banners to view, donates to charity
Cons: survey once a month to fill out

Worldshare is my 6th attempt at free access. Currently all I use are free internet providers and haven't paid for access in about 6 months now.

What I like about worldshare is that you don't have a banner on your screen that displays...

Pros: A reliable, cheap connection.
Cons: No tech support.

[Oopsie.

Yet another free ISP sells out.

WorldShare is now not much different than any other paid ISP. I leave my old review here for historical reasons, and so I can lower WorldShare's epinions score. They still claim to be...

Pros: Almost free, no banner, great connection time, no drops or busy signal
Cons: Not really free

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...

Pros: Free, Fast , Effiecient
Cons: none

Hi everyone, I just have to tell you I think that the worldshare.net internet service is the best one of all . I have tried many, many, servers and this has got to be by far the best.

Yes, it's a free internet service provider without the...

Pros: Free dial-up, Donate to charity, Lots of local access
Cons: Slow connection, Browser and dial-up modifications

Update: Following the Internet Bust, Worldshare.net no longer offers free internet access. Their plans now range from $9.95 to $15.95 per month for 75 hour to unlimited dial-up access and 1 to 5 POP3 email boxes. My original review is below.
...

Pros: local rural numbers, stable connection, free, pop & webmail, worthwhile causes
Cons: small banner, confusing setup regarding the $15 fee, but was ok with me not to pay

NO BANNERS ON WORLDSHARE! I chose Worldshare when I started searching for a replacement for my Freewwweb service. Since Freewwweb has just been gobbled up by Juno (July 20, 2000), I am registering my protest here against Juno. They are buying out...
