I hate Netzero. I hate the fact that it seems offended by my requests to log on. I hate the fact that it shuts down - not just at the most inoppurtune times, but at all times. With Netzero, you actually seem to pay them to screw you over.
I've wondered (Reply to this comment) by naphtalia why a place that advertises half the price doesn't have more users. Now I know.
Chad, You're a brave man, my friend...and I owe you some dough for the comments, I'm sure! My dad uses Netzero and despises it...but it's the only reasonably priced ISP around, sadly. I use Road Runner, but split it 4 ways, so it's as cheap as Netzero in that regard. Either way, sorry Netzero sucked life out of you....and here's to faster connections.
by millinocket I owe you some cash, my friend. Anything that makes AOL look good really must suck.
Sue Wow, this sounds awful, and although I know it's not funny a bit, you made me laugh while reading this. I love your style!
It was a great exposition! It sounds very similar to Juno (aren't they connected somehow?) - my husband's ISP. I've learned a lot of new swear words each time he tries to log on.
Thanks for warning us and GOOD LUCK!

I swear it is NOT worth the $9.95/month"
"I'm going to another ISP instead."
"Their software screws up Windows programs. "
"A subsequent Google search on the internet revealed that I am not the only Netzero customer who has been victimized by this Netzero scam."
"Very very slow and very very unstable connection. It sucks. " "Thanks NZ, your name says it all. You need my $9.95 so much? Have it and choke on it. "
"High-Speed Software it locks everytime I attempt to access Netzero. "
"Extremely bad customer service. Don't waste your time with this company."
""Horrific. Simply horrible."....Oh, by the way, watch your checkbooks! NetZero/Juno likes to deduct whenever they darn well please too! I just helped one of my customers put a stop payment because NetZero pulled $30 from her account 2 days after they had already pulled $9.95! They like to dip their hands in your money. "Beware tech support ripoff!"
WARNING! Tech support involves a 900 number that will cost an average of $80 to $100, and I got no help at all and an $89 phone bill. BOGUS!!! "
