i used to have free internet

if some remember or heard of

XiS

its was damnnnnnnnn sweet. no downlaod limits/session limits.

and gave me pings of 110 to cs servers. 56k that is

they were so good but with incredibly poor management and eventually got screwed over and whole company went bankrupt.

was a good experience. 1 year free internet cuz i never paid my bills and they didn't even know that or took too long to realise and by the time they did they got bankrupt

hahha, free.net.au!!!

the only problem was that it didn't allow ICS.

then, when u have free net, u sign up to one of those 'paid-to-surf' things
stick on the auto surf program, and let the money roll in!

haha freenet was sooo goood~!

goconnect was gud in the beginning... coz u cud get cracks or something to remove the banner ^^

(NOT THAT I DID IT =) )

it was also damn fast it was like 7k/sec

then when more ppl used it ... u cudn dial in after like 4 coz so many ppl using it... and u'd drop out so often and the speed was like around 3-4k max

and THEN u had to pay to use it

bitches.

i think they introduced a banner that you must keep up to stay connected.

then i got some hax0r program and removed it :D

too bad these things can't last forever

I'm currently on 56k through Hotkey (worst. ISP. Ever.). Although I will be upgrading to 512k ADSL shortly. Downloading heaven. :)

I'm on iiNet Bliink 256 ADSL $60/mth.

But I'm thinking of changing over to Netspace's cheaper $50/mth plan when the new ISP churn thingy comes in.
