i used to have Freei, and when it went bankrupt, i switched to NetZero. then NetZero started charging so many cents per minute after like 10 hours a month. since i spend at least an hour a day online (it’s terrible; i know.), that would probably be more expensive than AOL. i was just wondering if anyone here knows of a truly free internet service with local or toll free access numbers for south carolina (are code 843).

Try [findanisp.com](http://www.findanisp.com/). If there is one, this will tell you. FWIW, the few truly free ISPs out there either limit your time, blast you with adware or both. That or they just plain suck.
