There was me looking for a cheaper alternative to AOL and came across TFI. Well, I wish I hadn't bothered!! Obviously this was a year or so ago so I have no idea if it's improved. But when I was on it, I kept getting booted. Plus it was difficult to get on in the first place!!!! Engaged tone - I was having nightmares! All that ...  Read the complete review

I am very pleased with the free internet. They are very cheap, the technical support is good, they have good communication between the customers say if there is a new virus out etc. I have had a few problems with them like conecting but many people found this and within a week it was sorted out and you get on first time. The only probelm ...  Read the complete review

A year ago I decided to try TFI. The offer at the time, £50, was such that I thought if it didn't work (there were several rivals that didn't last) out I hadn't wasted much money but if it worked OK then I had unmetered access for a year. I have to admit that there were times when I have been very frustrated about ...  Read the complete review

I was with TFI for a year, and when I joined it cost an amazing £50 for 12 months, it's now £90. Clearly it has become popular, as at the end I could hardly get on-line at all at any time of day! Although their service has a one hour cut off (which I don't object to at all), the way they've implemented it is ...  Read the complete review

i found that a lot of the time i could not connect to thefreeinternet.net as i kept getting a lady saying "line is busy, please try again later" tfi say its not their fault as the phone companies operate a system whereby only a limited amount of calls get through on an 0800 number....personally I'm not too sure. support is ...  Read the complete review

After having a nightmare with Freeserve, I decided to drop them, and go with thefreeinternet after seeing them advertised on telly. I went to their site and paid 'em £90 for a years access and dowmloaded their dialler. This is where the problems started. You can only connect using their dialler, they encrypt the dial up ...  Read the complete review

*** TFI DIAL UP NUMBER: 0800 279 6450 *** I HAVE ALSO BEEN KICKED OFF OF TFI. Just read the opinions on this site to see that they are kicking more and more people off. I really recommend that you do not join as you have to pay £89.99 upfront and I really do not see them being here in 2 months... I joined The Free ...  Read the complete review

I was given what I thought was a very useful and generous Christmas present: a year's connection to thefreeinternet.com Unfortunately, since installing the service on December 26th I have had problems connecting on almost every ocassion. On a good day it has taken just over fifteen minutes to get connected to the internet. ...  Read the complete review

I am writing this review in a state of utter amazement, after 20mins of trying I am finally connected. This is my Dads internet connection and I have told him to get rid of it as soon as possible. I myself use freeserve anytime (another free connection but £13 per month) and rarely experience connection problems. Where can you ...  Read the complete review

I pay £10 a month for my internet charges, there’s quite a lot of free internets after you have paid a instalments of £89 my only reservation is that these companies become over subscribed very quickly, and some even go bust, because they realise that they can’t afford it. However, after paying our fee, we decided to ...  Read the complete review

I signed up to TFI around september, other than a few annoying engaged times I must be honest and say this is the best value internet service provider I have used. Because I connect during the evening the annoying engaged tones do occur. However when your paying a single low fee you must take the rough with the smooth. I certainly ...  Read the complete review

There I sat - destitute, broken hearted, in need of…a 24/7 free ISP. Not much to ask. Breathe had given its last gasp and died. What was I to do? An addict of all things web related, be it an email to my friends an online chat with my Mum, a movie review or just dooyooing, I needed that ISP that would make my modem sing again! ...  Read the complete review

I signed up with this ISP about 2 days ago and already I'm extremely dissapionted. When I first went through their extremely complicated signup procedure I was presented with a rather pretty icon on the desktop. Upon clicking the screen fills up with a series of adverts for Cisco Systems and Excite. This screen can not be ...  Read the complete review

UPDATED 10/03/01: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One thing that I like most about dooyoo is the ability to update my opinion and it will be moved up on my user profile, which has a greater chance for other users to read them! Dooyoo got my absolute 'thumbs up' for this! Well done.. Anyway, enough of 'ass-kissing' for ...  Read the complete review

Recently I have signed up with the freeinternet group (tfi) which is an internet service provider. I had Btclickfreewhich was a good provider by did not offer free call charges. They charged a local call rate, which was 1p a minute off-peak and 4p a minute peak time. I use the Internet quite often so I was spending about 30 hours a ...  Read the complete review

You can use up that free 24 hour CD disc you recieved the other day from a leading American ISP (the one with that awful browser), just to get connected to the free internet. It really is a free lunch. I was lucky enough to join this in June and I qualify for next years fee at £20 !!! For new members it's still brilliant at £89! ...  Read the complete review

having tried many many different isp's, kinda my line of work y'know,i was initially quite impressed with what tfi had to offer. unfortunatley this was not borne out with further use. these guys really did/do not expect people to use the service very much at all. surely the whole point of paying a single annual fee ...  Read the complete review

O.k.....I also signed up with Tfi when the price was a mere £50.00 for a whole years free access (0800) and it has proven to be extremely good value as I am on the internet for at least 4 hours a day. The fact they do not allow streaming video or playing games is a bit of a downer but at least they do give the option to connect up via an ...  Read the complete review

I joined TFI since June 2000. With a 50 pound per year membership fee for free internet access (no call charges) 24 hours a day, it seemed like a pretty good offer. You can only dial up using their software that you download after becoming a member. I can honestly say that it has been frustrating experience. My computer frequently ...  Read the complete review

Here on dooyoo we write opinions to inform and hopefully help people about products, I hope in writing this opinion, you will never chose this ISP and in doing so prevent for yourself any hassle. My friend has this ISP, and she had to pay £89.99, though when she did start it was £50. The ...  Read the complete review
