Wed, 11 Apr 2001 10:00:39 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jlkp2102 - about this free dsl, i can only speak based on what i've experienced with this company and my opinion is that winfire dsl robs most people hard-earned-money by luring with their so-call free dsl service. when free dsl came out, it was too good to be...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Probity - I had been excited about Winfire for months. I just bought my first house and could not wait to have DSL installed. I was planning to go with their premium service (which is for a fee, and a fair one at that). BUT, today I tried to call their 800...

Winfire FreeDSL: Free? I think NOT! Don't be fooled.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wilsontam - Nothing beats free, but Winfire really doesn't fit in this category, it will never, unless a change is being proposed. Paying $199 + TAX for their setup kit, which end up receiving just get a generic brand USB ADSL modem which only worth 1/5 of the paid...

Winfire FreeDSL: When will I get hooked up?

Wed, 31 Jan 2001 16:30:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mybigmac - I first saw Winfires Free DSL back in July 2000 and I signed up. Unfortunately they were not in my area yet. Then in the early part of December 2000 they contacted me and said my phone number was prequalified and I had to finish the registration - pay...

Tue, 9 Jan 2001 15:54:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JCuser - I got a call from a Winfire tech support representative last night. I guess the fact that I had written four support requests, each building on the other, got their attention. I also like to think that since my request were polite helped.

Winfire FreeDSL: Awful Sevice

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 12:05:12 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tempepiphany - If you want free DSL don't look here. It's just not worth it. I'd rather pay $70/month just to get decent service then go through these people. First of all when you sign up you can forget about being hooked up. I started this process in November and its...

Winfire FreeDSL: Umm... FreeDSL... But is it worth it?

Thu, 21 Dec 2000 01:35:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rchin - Believe it or not, Winfire formerly called FreeDSL does dish out fast Internet connections Without forcing you to "over spend" your cash every 30 days. FreeDSL doesn't, but However, they provide a sort of fast DSL service that every wants. It's...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BeachShopper - Ok,

So it's not actually free. They changed their name to reflect this, I think. They're now officially Winfire.

Anyway, my external USB modem finally has arrived! Only took about 10 months.

Last February 2000, the...

Winfire FreeDSL: the best adbar! but sticking to 56k.

Thu, 7 Dec 2000 13:28:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lynnbeach - I loved the winfire ad bar. It was the only one I found useful, of the five companies I have tried (now with amexonline, which is fabulous). I used the search engines, music searches, and shopping tools because they had the search entry form right there...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mcardenas1 - I made the mistake of signing up for this service. In the service agreement for the service level I applied for, it states very clearly that I had a 3 month commitment for I would be charged the price of the

modem which is 200 dollars. I have...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author zingy - I really don't want to explain my whole story with this sorry excuse for a company so I'll just get to the point. It takes them forever to get a line installed and running even if your home is in their service area. It has been almost a year since I...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - Remember the saying, "There are no free things in life". It's not completely true, yet it means a lot. It means the only free things you can get are bad.

Take FreeDSL for example. I signed up in January 2000. Their service has come...
