Top 4 Reasons Why A Paid-For ISP Is Better Than A Free Internet Service Provider
Let’s get realistic why pay for an Internet service provider when you can get the same thing with a free internet service provider right? Many different companies offer scandalously reduced priced ISP service and many of the time free of cost internet service. But what you don’t know is that these free internet service providers don’t offer the same quality service that other paying services do.
OK well enough jibber jabber let’s get down to business the top 4 reasons that rule out a free Internet service provider as being your long term Internet service provider.
1. Advertisement all over your screen
Nasty nasty stuff guys, remember last time you were surfing the internet and an add, popped up or when you were in a webpage that had a bunch of advertisement? Remember how annoying that was? Well now imagine that on your screen there was PERMANENT advertisement, rotating and flashing and jumping right at you. Now that is what happens when you have a free Internet service provider. If the free Internet service provider is not charging YOU any money they have to get paid somehow, so they get others to pay them like advertisers who use your take your desktop space and convert it into Times Square.
2. Not really free
Don’t always believe what is shown on TV. This also goes for don’t always believe what you read on the internet. Many free Internet service providers proclaim that they provide free internet access. However, what the small print says that after the first two months you start paying for the service. Subscribing to what is supposed to be a free Internet service provider isn’t always free.
3. Broadband? Where’s the broad?
Personally for me the worst thing about a free Internet service provider is their really really bad high speed internet. Because these ISPs need to save money in order to provide free internet service, they usually don’t have fast broadband per say.
As a rule of thumb if they say they offer free Internet service provider is the same as saying terrible high speed internet access.
4. Reliability. Reliaya what?
Yes, I truthfully think that people from a free Internet service provider really do not know how to pronounce “Reliability”. Because either your internet go’s down every once in a while or so, or you have some kind of problem connecting to the internet. Either way, the worst thing possible, worse than have slow internet access, is not being able to use it at all. This is why bad reliability is the most important reason not to get a free Internet service provider.

Identity theft and financial crimes against millions of families have reached alarming proportions in 2010. Prof Steffen Schmidt interviews Internet security experts, Dr. Doug Jacobsen, and Computer Engineering PhD student Tom Daniels. He is joined by Michael McCoy who is the co-author with Schmidt on two identity theft books and thousands of ID theft prevention education and certification workshops throughout the world. The experts he talked to agree that everyone should freeze their credit and keep small balances in bank accounts which can easily be plundered by unauthorized people. The following is from the US Federal Trade Commission: Many states have laws that let consumers freeze their credit in other words, letting a consumer restrict access to his or her credit report. If you place a credit freeze, potential creditors and other third parties will not be able to get access to your credit report unless you temporarily lift the freeze. This means that its unlikely that an identity thief would be able to open a new account in your name. Placing a credit freeze does not affect your credit score nor does it keep you from getting your free annual credit report, or from buying your credit report or score. Credit freeze laws vary from state to state. In some states, anyone can freeze their credit file, while in other states, only identity theft victims can. The cost of placing, temporarily lifting, and removing a credit freeze also varies. Many states make credit freezes …

Question What are internet security risks?
The Best Answer Simply speaking, it’s when your personal information becomes compromised, usually by online threats (viruses, spyware, worms, phishing, trojans). Avoid these threats by installing an anti-virus program (e.g. Norton) and a program that scans your computer for spyware (e.g. Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware). In addition, you should install an advanced firewall to block sites from connecting to your computer without you knowing (e.g. ZoneAlarm). Hope that helps! 🙂
