Direct links to new (?) Free Internet service providers.

11/11: The below will be any new (not positive about that) FISPs I've run across whilst perusing the net.

feeisp.nbci.com NBCI, which brings you snap and email.com has entered into the Free ISP market. X_Files This isn't a new one, but I've
had a few inquiries for the download link
since it isn't at the x-files main site.
Powered by 1st up. If you're a fan of the x-files, get this one.
StartFree So far, limited numbers.
check
Local numbers to see if they service your area. For further information see the update at the bottom of this page.

Offsite Enhancement Software for FISPs


inklineglobal Stay Connected! Stay online Utility for FISPs and others
So far I've used it with Netzero and it Does keep you connected. Takes care of those infamous pop up reminder windows. It'll works on excite and many others.


sdnetsupertool FISP Enhancement Utility
Its a legitimate, or "legal"
add on to FISPs. Makes the banner 1/2 length of "docked", and "floats" it whereby you can move it from top to bottom by a mouseover. Gives your browser the full screen.


adfilter Ad Banner Filtering Utility
Filters banner ads, popups, etc. to increase your overall speed. Unlike Window Washer, CookieCop, etc. which uses proxy settings (which means manual setup, and one configured, you either use the product, or you have to reset your system) which will not work on many fisps', this one requires no settings adjustments. I use it, and it does speed things up.


If you download any of the off site stuff LET ME KNOW and I can give you further operational information.

Alta Vista Goes Belly Up:

Important Notice to Users About AltaVista Free Access
Dear Member:

We regret to inform you that AltaVista’s free Internet access will terminate service on December 10th. AltaVista has been forced to discontinue this offering because the company who provided the service and telecommunications infrastructure for it, 1stUp Corp., is going out of business. This change will not affect the availability of our search services at AltaVista.com.

AltaVista thoroughly investigated finding another supplier to provide a free Internet access service. However, we were unable to find a company that was able to meet the needs of our Members

For additional Information check out the following off site articles: http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-3998565.html

Rumors about Alta Vista's demise, it seems, have been greatly exaggerated

Logged onto a millioneyes FISP, and instead of the usual start page I got this:

Service Interruption Notification

Due to Network Difficulties You May Experience an Internet Access Interruption!

Please Bookmark This Page ( Ctrl+D) and Check Back Often for Status Updates!

Thank You for Your Patience During This Period.

On going to the millioneyes partners signup page, partners/freeinternet, I got the same screen when attempting to sign on with any of thier affiliates.

What does it mean?

In the current world of spinspeak, you can take it to mean just about anything.

Obviously at this time you cannot sign up for any of the FISP's partnered by millioneyes. However the service does work - at this writing - banner bar and all, with no problem.

If anything "breaks" on this I'll let you know

this link is a link to this page so it would be dumb to click on it.
Lots of sites have this: tiny writing at the bottom to make it look official.
