I knew of alot of the free stuff that was out on the net. SOme folks don't have a clue as to if you are on the net and all the free stuff out there. I do pay for the provider and I dont pay for the other that I am on. One of the perks for haveing a cable modem. Pluss there are samples out there that alot of folks don't know about. And coupons also. Pluss free games also online. You would be amazed in what you can find for free and none of the B.S. in what some want you to do also to sign up for the stuff.
