I have finally lost my Freewwweb DUN connection. Has anyone else had this happen? I know they merged with Juno about a month ago, but it has taken this long for it to completely croak.

According to www.winmag.com, worldshare is pretty much history too.

Freewwweb work pretty good for ~a year. When their servers went south, I used for awhile address.com- they have a banner. What's interesting, after reinstalling Win2000 and address.com, for a week I got connected very good. After they put a banner on, connections became sh~~ty. Here what happens:
I connect to address.com, pages load very slow, or don't open at all[@45k connected speed].Also, I open Programs> Spinway>Address.Com> Cache folder; here starts all fun- watch while files starting pop-in: graphics[jpeg, gif-used for banner animation], mpeg[used for dialer while connecting all kinds of adverts].
How pages will open, when ISP uploading all the crap to your HD?
And they don't give a s~~t about how fast you can surf. Advertisers pay to ISP, ISP shows to advertisers how many users they have, in fact many subscribers keep these free ISP's as back-up.

Just my opinions about.
