"Free" Internet Service Offers

This article basically telling how all these so called "free" ISP are trying to screw you out of your money. They all are only free for about the first month, and then if you don't cancel them. They automatically sign you up for a contact, which typically last one year. The ISP make it hard to find and hide the information you need to learn how the cancel there services. Once they get you after that first month the rates are just outrages. Then if you sign up with that ISP and they don't offer a local number for dial-up you have to use a long distance number. Some ISP have toll free numbers but the FTC has found that some providers charge up to 5 to 6 dollars and hour to use the toll free number. The ISP are just trying to make as much money as they can off people how jump for joy when they see the word "free" and just sign right up. Well I would personally research these ISP first before I sign up. The link to this article is www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/freeispalrt.shtm.
