NoCharge (Pacific Northwest)

Pros: FREE with no banners
Cons: ?????????

I recently noticed NoCharge.com a little awhile ago. It seemed great. How can it not, free ISP without having to look at all the stupid banners that slow down your surfing speed. This company was started to provide with people a free ISP. They had a...

Pros: no viewbar ads, free, works great
Cons: local service only

Updated: 2-08-2006. I've completely rewritten my epinion on Nocharge, simply because this free isp works great now and totally rocks! I've been using Nocharge for years now, and for a long time it was not very good at all -- slow connection ...

Pros: free!, fast connection, no disconnections so far
Cons: not all-inclusive

I've been getting free Internet access with all the trimmings (e-mail, FTP, web hosting, telnet) for about 2.5 years as a student, but I've since graduated and have until March to find a new ISP. I looked at several providers and had the following...

Pros: Service to a lot of small communities, super easy to use
Cons: Busy signals, viability question

I've used NoCharge.com on and off for the last few months.

On, because, I was excited to see that not only did they have a phone number in Olympia (where I'm toll-free from), but also in my town of Shelton, so I could recommend it to my...

Pros: no download needed, somewhat anonymous, no ads
Cons: unreliable, shady, unreliable, charges for techsupport

I've been using nocharge since the beginning when they called themselves "cyberspace". They seem to go in and out of periods of reliability and unreliability. The other comments reflect that fairly well. When they are working properly they are great....

Pros: this is a free ISP with no ad banner
Cons: slow connection

I have nocharge.com on my desktop as a back-up to my preferred ISP. I can usually always connect with them. The problem with the service is it is too slow. With my preferred ISP my computer connects at 56700 bps. The nocharge.com connection on my system...

Pros: NO BANNERS!!!
Cons: Will it connect? Only in Pacific NW, NYC

I must first of all say that I enjoyed the short reign of free isps without banner advertisements. But like all good things, it has come to an end. Sure there are still some futile attempts to compare with the likes of FreeWWWeb, but none of them have...

Pros: easy to connect friends up
Cons: no newsgroups or stmp

I am very happy with nocharge.com as my dialup connection. I have been using it for about 3 months. I have an average connection speed of 49000. I have had few disconnects from nocharge.com, but I suspect that they due to the phone system being...

Pros: No ad banner, free, fast connection
Cons: Limited dial-up numbers, limited to Oregon, Washington, & New York

I have been using AOL for over three years and finally have given up on them. The slow connections and being constantly signed off drove me over the edge. I decided why not save some money and look into a free ISP? I'd used a couple in the past...

Pros: It is a good deal
Cons: Do you have to dial a long distance number?

In my opinion it is neat. I am always looking for a cheaper way to use the internet. I also agree that we should not have to pay for internet access, especially if you are already paying for phone service. As far as I know Your computer is hooked up into...
