local ISPs around in the U.S. and Canada. This site offers a
searchable database of free ISPs, complete with reviews and
ratings. Besides free services, the site also takes a look at
discount ISPs.

local access numbers to most major and many medium-sized
cities in the U.S. Note: to sign up for service here, scroll down

U.S. only. (For Windows).
- Our visitors report a number of
problems these days with NetZero, including difficulties in
connecting; frequent sudden disconnects; lots of E-mail
advertisements; and annoying pop-up ads.

Juno
One of the two major players still offering free Net access in the
U.S. (along with
NetZero),
Juno offers service at connection speeds up to 56K. The service is
advertisement-supported.
- We've had a few complaints from our
visitors about Juno's difficult-to-close, obtrusive ad windows.
- In recent months, it's become
increasingly difficult to connect to Juno's free service during
normal business hours. If you need a steady day-time Net
connection, you'll have to look elsewhere for a free ISP.
