The Internet was meant to be free. . .only for 40 hours

Written: Mar 01 '01 (Updated Mar 01 '01)
Pros:20 hours of Free internet
Cons:Banners and a fee after 20 hours
The Bottom Line: NetZero is a good internet service, but don't be fooled when they say it is free. Free is only limited.

They call themselves the defenders of the free world. They claim the Internet should be free, but now it should only be free for 40 hours a month, and then you pay.

NetZero is a great Internet service, if you only use the Internet for a few hours a month. You see, NetZero boasts free Internet connection with e-mail and all that good jazz. The only thing you have to do is download a little add bar that displays while you surf the web. This is a great opportunity, until you go over 40 hours in a month. That is when a little window pops up telling you that to continue, you must pay a small fee of $9.95

WAIT JUST A MINUTE! A fee? For Free Internet? Doesn't that make is not free anymore? How can they claim that the Internet should be free when they limit it to 40 hours a month?

I thought this was a scam and I have discontinued my use of NetZero. I understand that they need to make money too, but this just isn't fair. They need to change their mottos now also.

NetZero in itself is a very reliable Internet service. I never got kicked off-line unless I didn't do anything for about 20 minutes or so. I always connected on the first try. I never got any busy signals, and I got a decent connection.

NetZero is easy to use and can be figured out by almost anyone with a little computer experience. I would recommend it to anyone who uses the Internet less then 40 hours a month.
