rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mcommini - We just purchased a new computer, and it came set up with Lycos.com as the home page. Since I haven't had the chance to change that yet, I've seen plenty of this particular page lately. :) While the design is slick and snappy, I'm not sure if the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hamsinn - When FreeI announced they were going down the tubes I rushed to download as many Free ISP setup programs as I could. FreeI did transfer my account over to NetZero which, unfortunately, was more of a slap in the face than anything else. My friend uses...

Thu, 16 Nov 2000 12:55:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tconley - Lycos is one of many companies that use the 1stup engine to offer free Internet access to people, like myself, that don't want to fork over $20/month for basically nothing -- it's like paying to park at a mall, you don't get anything for that specific...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author cowgirl72 - We have been looking for a free ISP for a while now and ran across Lycos. It was a very quick download and fairly easy set up but it was all down hill from there.

Lycos.com (by 1stUp): blinding ad bar

Fri, 6 Oct 2000 19:03:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chisaikodomo - The only thing I dislike about having Lycos as an ISP is that the ad bar can be blinding. For the most part it gets me where I am going quickly, although there are times when it requires 2 or 3 times on the refresh button to pull up a page. Every...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mbfd316 - Free Lycos.com ISP

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pjowl - Unpredictable and temperamental. LOL Anyhow it just took me 20 minutes just to log on. Today is not a good day for Lycos. First it wouldn't initialize, then it was a dial-up error, then it wouldn't even go past the "verifying name and...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Rollergirl69 - It's not very often that you find something free. It's even more hard to find something free that you've been searching for about 2 years and mean while been paying outragous frees for.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ImagiBear - Lycos has one of the most quirky ad bars you have ever seen.
