(I apologize for the above remark to any AOL sypathizers, and remember that it is my opinion and I am biased because AOL crashed on me once while writing this message so I had to start ALL OVER AGIN!) Anyway, I've tried things like Netzero, Trillium, and Freel only to find out that they only work in the USA. So far, the only 'free' canadian internet that I came across was freewwweb which had a $120 starting fee, meaning that it wasn't REALLY free.

How would they make enough profit to continually upgrade and maintain their services without incurring unacceptable delays for users?
