Netzero also has a special page
for speed testing:www.test-speed.com/test/netzero/
that can really
impress.
For independent research you can
use Internet Speed Test, that measures how
fast are upload and download speeds to different web
hosts.
As you can see, the surfing speed grows so, that
NetZero
HiSpeed 3G can be seen as the alternative to cable, DSL
and other high speed broadband services (from ISPs like
AT&T, Qwest, Comcast, etc). But in fact, the
accelerating effect depends upon others network factors
and isn't the same for all sites. Anyway, in most (and
especially well known) sites it works well. So don't let
your connection to be slow while the accelerated,
high-speed surfing (HiSpeed 3G) costs only 10 bucks per
month! Accelerated Netzero worth it!

I must say that Netzero 3G is fast
and makes dial up more enjoyable. It's not
broadband but their 3G plan is the next best
thing that comes close to broadband speed. |

NetZero High Speed 3G option is
definitely worth the
$3 upgrade for faster surfing. Paying $10/mo
compaired to $25/mo is AWESOME. Thanks! |

My cable modem ISP was down for a
week, and NetZero saved my butt. I invest
online, I bank online, my wife does some work
from home in the evenings, etc. What the heck
was I going to do without Internet service? A
friend offered me the use of her connection to
download NetZero. I installed it and was back
online in a few minutes, although not so fast
like with cable modem. During 8 days of outage,
I never got a single busy signal and I never
had a dropped connection. The truth is, I am
completely jaded by the cable modem, and
suffering along at dial-up speeds really hurt,
but NetZero is a great choice for dial-up
service. I'd definitely switch if I were still
using AOL. |
