Well, it looks like I am the only dissatisfied customer of iFreedom out there. I not only tried downloading iFreedom once but twice. Each time the accessing onto the internet was either nil or lousy at best. Plus, each time after deleting iFreedom it...
Pros: was free Cons: was never a reliable service, doomed to failure for stiffing webmasters
Do you like to watch movies on TV without commercial interruptions? If so, you are probably paying to do so. Do you like to listen to music without listening to any advertising? If so, you probably buy CDs or cassettes and avoid listening to the...
Pros: Innovative new quality provider... Cons: Took too long for me to find it...
This ISP provider has unique qualities that will immediately endear itself to your average free ISP collector like myself. IFreedom downloads real easy and has a few local numbers to hook up to if your first attempt is unsuccessful (unlike the sorry...
Pros: Infrequent advertisements (every 20 minutes) relatively fast dial-up connections, POP3 e-mail, Usenet newsgroups, 20MB of online file storage, and 12MB of web space. Oh, and it's free! Cons: Windows 95/98/NT only until some time in 2000
iFreedom is, you guessed it, a free ISP. However, unlike most of the other free service providers (NetZero, FreeAV, FreeInet, dotNow!) iFreedom doesn't display a large banner advertisement that sits on top of your web browser.
Pros: POP access, infrequent ads Cons: Can't seem to get online yet!
Well, this review for iFreedom isn't going to be very long, I'm afraid, because so far I haven't gotten much past the authentication process. I just thought I would let people know about the problems I've had, so you won't rely on this ISP until you know...
Pros: Free Internet Access, Great Banner Idea, Efficient and Reliable Connection, Never Received Busy Time-Outs! Cons: Not Recommended for Those of You Who Play Games for Hours!
Recently, I have been researching and trying out the various Free ISP's out there. I can narrow down some of the best ones to a list of about 4 or 5. And iFreedom is definitely on my list! I first decided to try out iFreedom because I was looking for...
Pros: Free, Web-based email Cons: Must click on ad banners to stay connected
Wanting a new ISP, I searched opinions on epinion. Some people seemed to think iFreedom was the best. I went to their site and immediately was discouraged. I had a free internet service provider (well, still do) called NetGenie and they changed to the...
Pros: FREE, and lots of connection numbers Cons: minor annoyance of clicking on the pop up ads.
iThink iShould iMediately iNform everyone that iWill stop writing like this now. iTried iFreedom the past couple of days after reading about it on epinions, the verdict is in after very short deliberations. iFreedom gets the job done. It had lots of...
Pros: Free Internet, that's fast, reliable, no hassles, no lag, and no catch! Cons: To have to visit the advertisers, but its worth it
After reading many reviews written by others on iFreedom, I decided to give it a try. I do a lot of traveling, and so I am always on the lookout for new, fast, and free ISP's without a lot of the hassles.
Pros: Fast, no banners Cons: Must click every 20 mins.
It was only a few years ago that internet access was available only to those who used it professionally. Your connection was delivered via a 9600 bps modem for about $20 plus 7 cents/minute. As the internet grew and matured, service providers...
This free ISP is attempting to pioneer a new concept in non-paid access: the disappearing banner. Supposedly, if you access through iFreedom, the banner they display will go away for a while if you click on an ad. There are a few catches, however. ...
Pros: It;s Free! Great Fast connections Cons: Click a banner to stay alive
My Sixth review of a Free ISP, this time it is iFreedom.com.
My opinions started out terrible of this Free ISP, but quickly changed when I realized the error was mine! (I had just installed a different modem and forgot)
Pros: free i guess Cons: giving away all of your information
Are they really offering a free connection to the internet for nothing? Of course they are not. They have to be making money somehow. If you actually cared to read the user agreement you would find out its not really that great of a deal. What are...
Pros: moves quick Cons: ads are faster than 20 min
I have recently taken it upon myself to try all the new free Isp's out there and I just had the pleasure of using the Ifreedom Isp. I have only used it once but the connection was pretty quick and moving around was fairly quick. I even had several...
Pros: no banners some of the time Cons: annoying, bad connections, not worth the effort
I currently use AOL along with a free ISP to save money on my monthly bill. My husband couldn't get used to the ad banners that most of these services come with so I recently switched to ifreedom. It's true that you can "surf banner free" as...
Pros: Free internet service with free e-mail. Cons: Chatting becomes a problem if you're a chat-aholic (thought there is a way to do it).
I got such good reviews on iFreed.com that I decided to check it out. The first day it was nice. I didn't have to worry about anybody IMing me while I was trying to get some work done. When I got online there wasn't an ad waiting for me first thing. It...
Pros: Fast connects, no continuous ad banner, free Cons: Must click an ad after 20 minutes
After using NETZERO and ALTA-VISTA, iFreedom was a welcome change, though none of these free services are perfect. iFreedom offers an email address and web space but most of all it offers fast connections and reliable service.
Pros: free, no constant banner ads, provides newsgroups, no e-mail signature with advertisements, fast downloads, no snooping unlike netzero, fast connections, good idea that might stick around if they have a patent on it Cons: that i didn't find it sooner :)
Well it's been over two months since I posted my original epinion on iFreedom, I know two months is not a long time of course but then again you could say it was a century/millenium ago. I always wonder how people feel about their review when a few...
Pros: Slick graphic layout, no large banner ads most of the time Cons: You have to click on a banner that pops up every 20 minutes
I was attracted to iFreedom's promise of no annoying banner ads. The deal is when you first log on and every 20 minutes thereafter, 3 banner ads pop up, occupying a box that measures about 7 inches wide by 4 inches in height. You have 3 minutes to click...
Pros: FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Cons: Shutting down in mid-october...
***UPDATES AT BOTTOM!***
iFreedom.com
Ok. It gets points in my book.
Why?
Many reasons. Such as: The software: NOT written in Java, therefore, it is MUCH less buggy in comparison to others left nameless...
More often than not when I dial up I get "ERROR 628: The Port was disconnected". Then the system dials up anyway but the iFreedom dialler is not aware that RAS has successfully connected. So ... I have...
Pros: it's free Cons: they kick you off your surf board too fast
I was sorry when Worldspy.net was bought out by Juno. How about no ad banner, totally free, stay on as long as you want,and free of charge? ifreedom.com is now the next best thing for me. This is a "no-brainer" and all of us know it. I have...
Pros: Free access, 50mb of storage and 12mb homepage Cons: Prompted to click on an add banner every 20 min.
I have tried a few of the free ISP's. Hoping to find one that served my needs and didn't drive up my Tylenol expenses because it was such a headache. I am in love with ifreedom. The no add banners was enough to sell me on the idea, but the 50mb hard...
Pros: many numbers to choose from Cons: but none works
I just started using internet no too long ago. As usual I began looking for a cheap service; which led me to IFreedom. Their advertisement initially seemed decent and reliable. Rumors have it that the company has over twelve billion dollars floating....
I did write a favorable review of ifreedom a month or so ago. Unfortunately, there appears to have been some changes since then. It used to be stable and now I get a connection drops about half of the time. Maybe ifreedom is just getting inindated...
This is a Good FREE service, i really do like it. Highly
recommended. Very dependable. Seems to have a lot of coverage
areas. I connect at a higher speed than my "paid" isp.
Pros: Simple, Free, Variety of Ads Cons: Variety of Ads
WOW! Let me just start off my epinion with this: iFreedom offers a really great product - a free Internet Service Provider (ISP) which greatly respects your time online and doesn't bother you with those annoying always-present banners.
Pros: 20min of freedom from the banner, fast connection speed, small Cons: They are forcing you too click, and it gets annoying!
Ok, lately I have been looking for a better alternitave then AOL. First I found Freei.net, and that was good, the best until now when I used iFreedom. A totally new concept, you click on one of there banners (it gives you a choice of three)and you...
Pros: I can get it to work without the banner Cons: Nothing!!!
Yes, it's true, I found the secret to have FREE ISP WITHOUT ANY BANNERS!!! First of all, go to www.ifreedom.com and download the software. After you downloaded, start the program until you are connected, once you're connected, you want to open a...
Pros: It is fast Cons: Banners would get on your nerves
In last year I tried pretty much every free ISP I've found on the web, and iFreedom was one of the worst. Even though iFreedom is the fastest among the free ISP's, their annoying banners just drive you nuts. At first the idea of the banner, which...
Try something else!!! I had to download this free service at least 6 times. Every time I was told the file was corrupt or something was wrong. I was very disappointed and I needed a free backup ISP. After the final successful download I was able to...
Pros: Costs nothing to install or use Cons: Frequent interruptions to choose another ad, and the occasional logoff when you fail to make a choice in time.
These days, ISP's seem to come in three flavors: "pay" ISP's (where you pay a monthly fee for access), "advertising" ISP's (where you "pay" for access by viewing adverts), and "free" ISP's (where the access is paid...
Pros: Free ISP, good service so far, lots of extras Cons: Can't game or do large uploads or downloads
At first, I was surprised. I had tried several free ISPs, and was very disappointed. Not more than with a paid ISP. I had Compaq service for a month (it came free with the PC after all <grin>). Compaq was not very impressive. And neither were...
Pros: FREE, FREE, FREE Internet Access! Cons: You have to click on ad ever 20 minutes
If your looking into getting *FREE* internet access, then be sure to check into iFreedom! =) It's reliable, fast, and the best thing is its FREE!!! =) It's great for college students!!
I was one of the lucky ones that got a free computer and...
Pros: Not as annoying as Netzero, Free internet provider Cons: Slow connections, buggy login
IFreedom has a new and unique way of providing free internet compared to the other big Players in the Free Internet Service Providers. Of course, like most other Free Internet Service Providers, there is a catch in order to use their service. There is a...
Pros: Free, stable and fast. Cons: Can't use Outlook for Newsgroups, must use FreeAgent.
I just downloaded iFreedom last night and I am now seriously considering dropping my current ISP and using iFreedom instead. I have tried Netzero, Alta Vista and a few others, but iFreedom wins the free internet race hands down. iFreedom is absolutely...
Pros: free internet, email, news Cons: an add every 20 minutes
I used to use one of those pay internet services. My renewal was about to come up so I decided to try a free version. I first tried AltaVista. If AltaVista was the only free service, I think I would have renewed my pay service. Fortunately, I read...
Pros: free service, banner goes away Cons: must click on banner to make it go away
iFreedom provides complete, easy-to-use FREE Premium Internet Access. As a
national Premium Internet Service Provider (ISP), it provides up to 56K Internet access speeds from over 2800 cities across the United States and Canada.
Pros: Free, Reliable, No big banner on screen all the time Cons: Ad banner is really BIG when it's on screen, you must visit sponsor sites
Of all the free ISPs I've tried iFreedom has gotten the most things right. I expect two basic things from an ISP a reliable fast connection and no unrecoverable system crashes. I don't think that's too much to ask and like a lot of Free ISPs iFreedom...
Pros: 100% Free, Never a busy signal (yet) Cons: none (yet)
I just downloaded IFreedom, because I just moved and do not have the "proper necessities" to re-subscribe to AOL.. and to tell you the truth, I dont think i am going to . Dont get me wrong, I love my aol.. BUT .. I have not had ONE busy...
Over the past 15 years I've watched the Internet take its shape. It started very slowly at first and there were very few Internet providers. So you try one for a while and finally you would hear of another new provider starting up and you would switch to...
Pros: Ad Banners Only Appear Every 20 Minutes, User Friendly Interface, Small Download & Easy Installation Cons: Have To Click On The Ad Banner To Stay Online Every 20 Minutes Then It Disappears
As of October 2000 iFreedom will no longer be offering free internet service. iFreedom has ceased operations with their free internet service like WorldSpy, FreeWWWeb, & Freei have done. It is becoming clear that most free internet service providers...
iFreedom is, you guessed it, a free ISP. However, unlike most of the other free
service providers (NetZero, FreeAV, FreeInet, dotNow!) iFreedom doesn't display
a large banner advertisement that sits on top of your web browser.
Pros: You don't have to give up any screen real estate. Cons: The pop-up banners are still annoying, but whatdya want for free
After I tried iFreedom for a few days, I finally cut off my pay ISP. Granted, EarthLink is an excellent ISP, but hey, $20 is $20. You will be amazed by what iFreedom can offer you. They have POP mail, an excellent web-based mail (with spell...
