Free I.S.P. Connections!!

Tips For Using A Free Isp

• Run two monitors-With the money you save from not paying for internet service, purchase another video card and monitor. This will enable you to run 2 browser windows at the same time and the ad banner will only be on one.
• Keep a minimum of two isps at the same time-Since they are free anyway always keep two connections on your computer if you are able. That way if one doesn't connect you still have another. And if one goes down forever you still have internet access to search for a replacement without dealing with someone's free trial disk that you don't really want in the first place.
• Know your access numbers-Never assume you have the complete list of access numbers. For whatever reason isps don't always reveal all of their numbers on their web pages. Sometimes when you have trouble technical support can give you ones that aren't published.
• Know your computer-To this day Windows and Macs are still very finicky devices. The success of AOL attests to that. By having their own system and settings they try to and succeed at doing all the technical work for the user. More times than not the technical problem is on your end not theirs. We all prejudge and jump to conclusions at some time about a provider's service. There are a lot of settings you must manually optimize in your pc that most providers don't do for you in their download. And that's good so you can have a clean manual install that works far less sluggishly. The most common problem is improper memory allocation and memory leakage in Windows requiring a reboot, wrong or missing modem string, missing dns server information, Windows default network settings which are not optimized for dial up or cable connections. Information on these subjects can be found on the isps technical help pages. Look at some of the major isps help pages.
