Freeserve Reviews

When we first got our computer I was recommended to use Freeserve as my Internet Service Provider. Now since I know nothing about about computers I tend to listen to other peoples experiences. My word prosessing tutor reccomended Freeserve as It was free to use. So I went into an electrical shop and got the disc. Installing it ...  Read the complete review

Freeserve isp (internet service provider)has a few good and a couple of bad points, but i will keep all information brief. First the good ones They are part of the bt surftime package only available in uk england,they seem to have a good connection rate i get about 48.000 low and 46.666 bps (internet connection speed)high . Ok so my ...  Read the complete review

The reason why I chose to use Freeserve as my ISP is because it was the first disc that I could lay my hands on. The service has always been quite good, the connection speeds were resonable and in general the e-mail service that I used was quite good. For a long time I used hotmail.com, when I was at work or University as I wanted an ...  Read the complete review

Freeserve has had its fair amount of criticism over the years but much of it is undeserved. ISP have come and gone all the time but the mother of them all is still there. Freeserve was first with local call charges and no monthly charge. Everyone else copied them. Then they offered Freeserve Unlimited for £10 per month which gives you ...  Read the complete review

I have used freeserve quite a lot at work, it's one of many ISP's my employer uses. For starters, I cannot understand why they are called FREEserve, they aren't free. You have to pay the cost of a local call to connect! I am sure the Trades Description Act prevents companies from using such titles. Apart from the misleading ...  Read the complete review

freeserve have a range of packages on offer all offering different times or speeds of connection. I can only comment on the off-peak unmetered service which is the only service that I have used. Freeserve now refer to this product as freeserve hometime. The service is based on BT's surftime product and at the time i signed up ...  Read the complete review

We'd been on Freeserve for oooh let me see now, it must have been about a year and a half or so, then to my delight the "Freeserve Off-peak" came out....great I thought! Id always been allocated 30 minutes or so, and only to do homework and things educational. So when my dad agreed to go on this "Off-peak" lark I thought ...  Read the complete review

I'd always been a fan of Freeserve, they were the first ISP I'd even used. It seems things have gone full circle because over two years on they're my ISP yet again. I managed to persuade my parents to sign me up for Off-peak Freeserve time, YAY! Go online as much as I want for no more than £5 per month off peak. All ...  Read the complete review

Adding up the pros and cons I can say honestly that Freeserve have been good to me. I became a member of the internet frenzy October 1999 and was a full paid member of BT and Freeserve..... in other words I had nothing but £150 monthly phone bills! This all changed when I discovered Unlimited Freeserve time. I pay £10 per ...  Read the complete review

i have been a user of the old freeserve at £10 unlimited for about a year, and as people know it has changed to freeserve anytime at £12.99. You dont get any call charges included like you used to either, which is a shame, as that drasticly cut your phone bill for the month. The main reason for me writing this article though is to make ...  Read the complete review

I have been on the net for five months now, I joined Freeserve because of there flat rate charge and have been surprised with the level of service that comes with the package I have tried A.o.l. and compuserve and for the money they charge suck. The really annoying thing is the two hour hang up time, at 56k modem speeds this is just not ...  Read the complete review

I tried and disliked AOL's unmetered internet access and signed up for Freeserve Anytime. The cost, £12.99 is a no-brainer compared with my normal monthly on-line cost. Signup was quick and easy until the problems started. Getting connected. I couldn't because the service was constantly engaged. In fact the only time ...  Read the complete review

I have tried many other ISP's over the past few years, but the best has to be Freeserve. Freeserve are the only ISp I can get a regular connection to, and the only free ISP participating in Surftime. You get ample webspace and e-mail accounts so all possible desires are accounted for, although for e-mail, I prefer to use web based e-mail for ...  Read the complete review

Well, freeserve, without a doubt one of the most popular isp's. I am using them at the moment. Their standard service seemed to be ok. Where as their Home Time service, well lets just say im not very happy. Sometimes it can take me up to 30 times to connect, which is very annoying. I am currently paying £19.99 per month with ...  Read the complete review

This weekend, having celebrated my 20th anniversary of life on earth, there are a few things I realise that all people are entitled to (but not necessarily have)....a good education, some decent job prospects, the love of a good woman and low phone bills. The first three are more or less, give or take (I do have two of those suggested requirements ...  Read the complete review

After having my jaw drop through the floor at recent phone bills, I decided it definately was time to get unmetered access. Now my choices were BT Surftime, World Online and Line One. I did not like the idea of wasting time changing telephone companies so I decided on Surftime. Surftime can only be used with certain ISPs and a full list ...  Read the complete review

I use the Off-peak package (now re-branded "Freeserve Home Time") which uses Surftime from BT. I've been using this service since it launched, and I have to say that on the whole, I am very pleased with it. I do have some gripes that I will come to later, but when you think about it, it is hard to think where you ...  Read the complete review

I’ve been online for a few years now, and I’ve tried about 4 internet service providers (ISP’s) in that time, but I’ve always come back to Freeserve. Is this because they are an excellent company who provide an excellent service? Well, back in the days when they were “free” and we were all slaves to the ...  Read the complete review

Like many users, I have been with Freeserve since it started, having escaped from the clutches of Compuserve. When I look back at their $9.95 US monthly charge for the first 5 hours, and then God knows how much per excess hour, I wonder why I didn't change sooner than I did! For a long while, I was happy with Freeserves basic service, ...  Read the complete review

I beleive that no matter what anybody says about Freeserve Unlimited Time it is worth it. You just pay a minimum amount of 10.00 GBP by direct debit to Freeserve or Energis Communications and what you get is unlimited access to the internet via Freeserve 24 hours a day seven days a week, you also get free national and international calls each ...  Read the complete review
