Anyone use NetZero for your ISP?

I was curious if anyone here uses NetZero for their ISP?

I have seen a lot of NetZero commercials on TV recently, talking about their NetZero High Speed, Platinum service. I cannot get DSL where I live and have been thinking of switching to them.

But I don't want to switch my provider and not be happy.

Tell me about it.

Thanks,

Hi Superdave, No I haven’t used NetZero (yet) but you can put NetZero on your computer along with your current provider and compare them. Once you decide which service you prefer, then just cancel the other provider’s service. I currently have two local dial-up Internet providers on my computer that I’m comparing to see which one I like best. Hope this helps.

I used to have it and was pleased. I didn't have the high speed. I used it until I got free earthlink with my laptop. Now it is no longer free so I may switch back and save $15 per month. I recommend it.

I use the free netzero for travelling, and it is slow. But its free, so the slowness is not that big of a deal.

Thanks for the replies.

I wondered if I could have two internet providers at once. I figured I could, but don't know what to do about e-mail.

I guess I could leave it with my current provider until I see if I like Net Zero.

Do you have the high speed dial up with them?


Thanks again.

No, just have the $9.95 a month service.

The high speed is the same thing but they cut out some of the loading "overhead" making the pages load faster. (but not downloads)

The free Net-Zero is pretty slow.

I've never gotten a busy signal that I can remember either.
