Ok i hope i don't jinx my luck by saying this but who cares...
4 the last 2 month i have bin getting free broadband -
Freeserve take 27pounds out of my bank on the 19th of every month - but they have not took a thing of me for two months.... and i am in two minds in wot 2 do about it, i think i will phone up and asking wots going on -- but then i think i sud just milk it 4 as long as i can... i don't want 2 move 2 another ISP as Freeserve rule - no download cap or nuthing....
but like i say i don't know wot 2 do...
I wish I was getting free broadband but I doubt u are they know what they are doing they will take it.

They'll just end up charging you later on for those months when they find out the error probably. Better keep some money back.

wouldnt be sure about that ! my brothers got dsl 768 dl 192 ul but for the past year he had double that !he was always wondering why he was getting dl of kazaa up to 110 kbs :D then recently he got changed back down to what he was supposed to have but they did not charge him extra for that year where he had higher speeds :D

We usually get our bill around the 5th or so, but we haven't gotten one for October yet...I'm half expecting that it got lost in the mail, and any day now we'll get d/c'ed ;-/

Some ISPs bill three months in one hit every quarter, at least mine does anyway. That could be it.

Mmmm...I got almost 1 year of free internet, one day they just stopped charging me, when they found out they never charged me for that time :)
nothing beat 1.5mbit/128kbit for 35USD/monthly
no caps or anything like that of course...

My friend had AOL dial-up free for a year and a half, at the end of the first month of his trial he phoned up saying his computer developed a fault, so they extended his trial for another month.
The following month he did the same, so they exteneded it for a further month. Every few months he would recieve free trial disks from them, so he took advantage of them as well. He kept on doing this for over 19 months and didnt pay AOL a single penny.
In the end they realised he had several accounts with them, because he used 2 diferent credit cards to register, and they stopped his free trials.
Anyone thinking of giving AOL a go, try doing the same for as long as you can, they are desperate to keep you, so take advantage :D

Heard of some Tiscali broaband users that hadn't been charged for months.... then wallop!.... the lot pulled from their bank account, and those who didn't have sufficient funds incuring bank charges etc. So... BEWARE!

Dude, don't mean to burst your bubble, but they will probably realise their mistake and will charge you for the time you've had.
