freenetau.com.au
FreeNet is Canberra's fully featured free Internet Connection. For dial-in members, there
are no registration fees and no monthly subscribtion charges. The only thing you have to
pay is $20 for a startup disk which includes your log on password and instructions how to
connect to Freenet. No monthly charges or downloads. Only for Canberra.
Freeonline
FreeOnline is a privately owned Australian company founded by Sydney Low and Bill Lang.
Only web browser access (ie. no AIM, ICQ, FTP, pop/smtp etc). Restricted mostly to certain
ecommerce ".com.au" listed sites, avail Syd & Melb. However theres 30min
free (total 90 hours/month) to roam anywhere on the web btwn the times of 8am-4pm &
4pm-11pm. Then 2hrs from 11pm-8am. Cuts you off to the listed limited sites once your
"free time" is over. Very limited access, once registered you get an email a
couple of hrs later telling you details once you've signed up. Unlimited sites incl.
Start.com.au (email), all ".org.au" & NAB (bank). No chat sites avail. when
not in free time. Easy registration. So its not really an internet access but free email
access. Internet shouldn't be censored in any way especially for commercial reasons.
UniZoom
affiliated concern of MaGlobe (who is specializing in roaming internet access). Unizoom is
providing free internet access (for a fat $50 setup fee) and also throwing in the package
1 free hour of global roaming free internet access. Maybe its worth signing up in India,
but for USA, Canada, UK its a ripoff. If you interested in global roaming internet access
investigate their parent company packages at maglobe.com.
In4free
The most terrible part is their one time 199$ setup fee for startup disk and they still
display banners. There are cheaper alternatives in australia, but if in4free is the only
that is available in your area - its not bad deal.
