I don't think that an ISP could offer free broadband, because it would then be out of business very soon.

BTW: love the new sig addition

Try Google TiSP :P

TiSP = Toilet ISP, look at this page, it explains how tisp works - now who's the donkey

BTW: i saw tisp a few years ago & thought it was funny, now the joke is on you

TiSP = google humour

sorry, thought you were being serious, now i know, i'll stop & think

BTW: except me and Karan, most other HWFs took things too serious, obviously with a few exceptions occasionally, but i'm watching you now

 

[RHochstenbach]

sorry, thought you were being serious

I'm almost never serious :D

 

[donkey42]

I'm almost never serious

:good:, me neither, i have had to not be myself on HWF and that will be obvious if you read some of my "funny" threads in general chat, some are mildly amusing but some are hilarious

Free in linux means free as in freedom. Not free as in price.

You won't ever find a free ISP, it's just not going to happen.

well, there are lots telecommunication companies saying that they will be offering free broadband as part of a cell phone, home phone & TV package, so i guess i'll have to just wait a while

That's just a way to get more costumers. The price of the broadband is included in the price of other subscriptions.
