Internet Service Providers Offering Free Internet Access


Paying too much for Internet access? How about FREE Internet access? You can get a free connection to the Internet if you know where to look. The catch? Well, advertisements. Most of these services run ads on your screen to pay for the free service. Hey, it's sort of like America On Line, without having to pay $21.95 a month!

These freebies are for the U.S. only. In England, America On Line has teamed up with a British phone company to bring free Internet access to England. There are other European only sites that will give free access as well. In the U.S. Free Internet Access is rare.

Free High Speed Access


ISDN is an older technology that delivers high speed digital access. With speeds of 128K, ISDN is often used by businesses that want their network connected to the Internet. The disadvantages of this type of connection is that it is more expensive and requires a special digital phone line be installed along with a special ISDN modem just for the ISDN connection.

DSL or Digital Subscriber Line is a newer way of connecting to the Internet. Using an existing phone line, the company adds a special jack and connects a special DSL modem to it. You can fax, make phone calls, even dial up another computer while using your DSL line to surf the web. Your computer does not tie up the phone line like the traditional modem does. This is an ideal solution for people with only one phone line.

The best part about a DSL phone line, such as the one I have here in my office, is that it is up to 50 times faster than a standard 56k modem. I can download files in seconds, instead of twenty minutes. For a few extra dollars one can buy a hub and cables and connect other computers to the same line. In my office two of us surf the web while a third can use the laptop to browse web sites, all off of the same DSL line. The speed is so fast, one can't tell the difference when one, two or more people are using the connection. No local area network (LAN) or server is needed.




Free Web Pages


Many web sites offer free web pages to anyone that wants them. The type of site varies. Some are family oriented and designed to be a private place, just for family and friends. You can post pictures chat with family members on line, post a group calendar and just build a place for your whole family, where ever they might live, to keep in touch. Other sites have communities where people sharing the same interests as you, can build personal home pages and get involved in the type of activities that are close to your heart. Other sites simply provide you with space to build your own home page, any way you want it.

Are they really free? Yes. They have pop up windows that display ads. These ads keep the web pages free. Some have a premium service that will allow you to pay a small fee and not have pop up ads on your home page. Geocities is one such site. Free with pop up ads, or no ads for $4.95 a month. Here are a few places to get free web pages.
