Free UK Internet Service Providers
with Free Shares Offers
What was once a thriving category now
looks a little sad and empty! It appears to prove the 'free shares /
free isp' model is one that simply doesn't work! Dial up call revenues
have proven insufficient to keep smaller Free ISP's alive let alone
cash rich enough for flotation (even Totalise,
unable to secure further funding, have been unsuccessfull).
With broadband finally really arriving
in the UK, the future of the small UK ISP in general looks bleak indeed!
Prove me wrong world and deliver a solid broadband based ISP hurling
free shares in the company to it's members - and I'll gladly eat my
Totalise share certificates...
Take quick look below but I recommend jumping rapidly to our much more rewarding cashback shopping category.
Active Sites:
 Revolution ISP
Rating: *****
Share Status: Not launched
Free ISP. Not free shares as such, but the plan is "cash payments
of up to £2,000 - in two instalments commencing upon the sale
or flotation of Revolutionisp.com". Must use the service for
at least an hour every month to remain qualified which although restrictive
makes some sense. (Obviously no usage = no income = no profits = worthless
shares!) Additional revenue streams to meet the apparently wild valuation
are planned. But don't exect a flotation any time soon! Click For Revolution ISP
Unresponsive Sites - Probably No Longer With Us:
 Free
ISP Shares
Rating: *****
Share Status: Not yet launched
Latest: After a period of unavailability the site is back...
One more ISP who claim to be giving away shares. Slightly confusing
presentation - but 10,000 units to first 10,000 sign-ups, then 2,000
units for the next 50,000 sign-ups. Extra points for using their dial-up.
Free Bee Net

Share Status: Not launched
Free ISP. Terrible site design - but worth a viewing if just for amusing
phrases such as "Every minute you spend on line using free~beenet.co.uk
as your internet service provider will be contributing to your becoming
an internet millionaire"... oh dear!

Latest: Site seems permanently down...

Plus you get 50 bonus units for introducing up to 25 friends.

 Totalise
Rating: *****
Share Status: AIM Listed
Latest: Sadly Totalise plc has gone into Administration
Totalise are a UK Free Internet Service Provider, who have given away
over £3 million free shares. Free shares are now much more heavily
orientated towards purchase of products and services as Totalise has
established a user base - and will now end completely as planned on
30/04/2002. But if the products interest you, the bonus shares could
be very worthwhile. You can always check for the latest offer before
signing up (look for the small 'Share Offers' link on the home page).
 VelNet

Share Status: Not yet launched
Latest: Site revamped but virtually nothing there - free shares
offer now disappeared without trace...
Velnet plan on giving away free shares (estimated at "up to £700
per person") to the first 50,000 users. Some useful extra services
are to be added including free domain registration & free fax to
email.
