WorldSpy - Free ISP with no Advertisements

from the how-does-it-sustain-itself? dept

WorldSpy recently launched their free ISP. The nice thing about this one compared to their competition is that it doesn't require you to deal with advertisements floating on your screen. They're just hoping (no requirements) that you buy stuff. Sounds great. The only issue I have with them is that I tried to sign up a few weeks ago and it doesn't work. While I may not be a computer wiz, I'm not bad, and there was no way that I could get it to work on my computer, so I've given up. Besides, I think their estimates of people buying (25% of their users purchasing $240 worth of stuff) might be a little high.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Didn't work for you?

    It worked just fine for me. The local number is busy a lot though, and I can't always connect at full speed, but other than that it seems to work well.
