Yet another free ISP

[Sluggo]

Another free ISP deal from of all people ACE hardware. I picked up a CD at the local ACE Hardware store or you can visit
http://www.ourhouse.net

Not sure if its worth a crap or if the info even belongs in this forum, just thought I would put it up in case anyone is interested.

I think I speak for everybody when I say:

What the hell is ACE hardware doing having a free ISP?

I've got the scoop on that one...I work there. Ourhouse.net is giving out promotional discs wired by iwon.net and powered by spinway.com. They just happen to be given out by the Ace Chain.

It includes:
Unlimited Internet Access
iWon Account
E-mail Account
News
Search
etc....

The fine print...Local Access Numbers are available in most areas (not in my area), but you ARE RESPONSIBLE for any telephone charges.

Not a great deal....Poop on It!

Hey CrazyJake20,
Do you have to look at the ads?

Sluggo,
definitely a hot deal if there aren't any ads and good servers. I heard worldspy just got bought out by some other free isp company. If I remember correctly, it was Juno. I was looking forward to their dsl support but my friend now tells me it's no longer available. Bummer
Thanks for the deal!

Hey guys, somethin to check out! I downloaded the Ourhouse.net then went to bluelight.com and darned if my access numbers don't match!

So there are ads?


And WorldSpy is going to have ads now too?

 

[ken_unit]

Well if K-Mart has a free ISP (bluelight.com), then I guess Ace Hardware can too!

 

[ChalPhut]

WorldSpy has been bought out by Juno. You will have to use Juno's bloated s/w to access the net. And see a lot of ads in the process.

Isn't this always the case?

Bluelight.com and lots of other FrISP's (Free ISP's) actually go through Spinway.com. They are a sort of middleman for setting these companies up. That's why the phone numbers are identical, they are all using the same network.

 

[thebullseye]

This ISP runs off the same software package as K-Mart/Yahoo's Bluelight.com... It's all powered by Spinway.com.
