Advantages: Free Internet access - easier later at night
Disadvantages: Can be difficult to connect around 8pm.
***************************************** Unfortunately IC24 have now finished the 0800 offer - you can now only connect using the 0845 number :-( ***************************************** I've been using IC24 for quite a few months now. Towards the start I always had engaged tones, but after a while this seemed to improve. I can quite easily connect after 10pm or so which is great for me. Sunday morning seem to be the best of all! I've signed up to variuos pay-to-surf programs so in other words I get paid to have a free Internet connection. I use my Orange mobile phone to connect to the Internet as I'm a student and cannot connect from my halls of residence through an ordinary phone line, however, as Orange do not charge for 0800 numbers this means I can research and check my e-mails from my flat. I would say that IC24 is probably one of the better free ISPs around although it is still not perfect.

- 27/01/01 Your internet connection speed would be terrible through a mobile phone at around a quarter the speed of a landline. This will all eventually change when 3rd generation phones finally hit the market.
I used to use IC24, when I could connect it was quite good, but I soon got fed up with the intermittent engaged tones and 1HR cut off. The service was always threatening to end, but they keep extending the deadline. I think they are meant to be finishing again the end of this month (January 2001), unless it gets extended yet again. Oh well, it was amazing for FREE. |
