Does anyone have a website recommendation for free internet access? And, are these sites slow due to excessive pop-up ads, for example?

I am not aware of any free internet access, except maybe NetZero–they all went belly-up or switched to pay services. The one I used, BlueLight from Kmart, did away with their freebie unless you buy a set amount from their website. They suck, and before I give my credit card number to Kmart Fallapart over the web, I’ll drive 5 miles to the freaking store.
Juno merged with NetZero and it still sucks. The ad banners are ubiquitous, they slow the whole thing down to a baby’s crawl. Plus, they only allow you a very limited number of on-line hours per day, some incredibly low number like, I dunno, :rolleyes: “two” :rolleyes: and if you exceed that, then you get a cheerful error message, “Sorry, you’re an Internet hog, you can only log on after 3 a.m. from now on, no second chances, no apologies solicited or accepted”, no kidding.
Pay the man, Jinx. Ain’t no such thing as Free Internet any more. 
We’ve got free MSN until next April because the new computer we bought last April came with 1 year’s free MSN. I suppose in 6 months we’ll have to bite the “Pay the man” bullet ourselves. [sigh]
