netscapeonline.co.ukNewest Review: ... I got my points. I was surprised that they allow unlimited e-mail addreses though there a bit long. The Connecttion is not very good, the best i can get at the most is about 49,999 on a 56k modem. It takes me about 4 attempts to get connected. But once on the speed is good and the software is good. I declined there "offer" to download Netscape Browser so im using Netscape as my ISP with MSIE as my Browser. I really like this ISP and I have quite a few others as backup just in case. ... more |

After using loads of ISP's I then saw this offer in EB and the offer of getting points was too good to be true. Well I got my points. I was surprised that they allow unlimited e-mail addreses though there a bit long. The Connecttion is not very good, the best i can get at the most is about 49,999 on a 56k modem.

etscape online is a fairly easy ISP to sign up for. It isn`t the best of the bunch by a long shot, but they are a nice ISP that just plods along doing whatever you want. Don`t confuse this with the Netscape browser. Obviously they reccomend Netscape when you sign up but you don`t have to use it to use the ISP. You can use Internet Explorer (a much classier browser in every way), Opera or anything else you want. Once you have signed up (easy to do from the CD, just follow the instructions) you get a little program to run that launches whenever your computer needs a connection to the internet. You can choose to connect to the net, open your broswer, ... Read the complete review

Before defecting to BT Internet, I spent nearly a year with Netscape Online and was quite impressed. Of course being a Netscape fan from way before IE even existed, I'm admittedly a teensy bit biased, but this is clearly a top notch effort by the Netscape company, albeit at a slight cost phone calls wise. Their connections were always speedy, and obviouslty as this is an older model of the free internet acccess companies there is no auto disconnection (which was nice) Despite only having a BT line I still oftne got a connection of 50667 bps, which is pretty quick for a 56k modem, and stuff fairly flew down the phone line to my PC, almost always at ...

Netscape on old sea dog that just keeps on getting saltier. Netscape I have to say just keeps on getting better,and is real challange to the likes of microsoft for the position of desk top browser, I find the netscape browser so much better to use than the microsoft one and with its better class of HTML script writer for internet pages this is a must have. The Netscape isp page which is free is well worth signing up to, it is a very American based home page but the webmail and other facilties make up for this. Combine all this with a free unmetered access from another isp and its great value, its a kick in the teeth for the likes of aol all the ... Read the complete review

I think that just about everyone that has a computer has access to netscapeonline.co.uk. This ISP is very common yet there doesn't seem to be that many people that use it. Why is this? Basically netscape is a terrible web browser! Web sites are terrible to load up and are of a low quality. So why do I use it? I use netscape because it was a great ISP to start with as it is so basic. It allows you to have several netscapeonline based web e-mail addresses for several different users. It also recommends AOL Instant Messenger as your talk program which happens to be very good. When you first start up the internet and netscape is readily available you take it as ...
