NetZero DSL Review
There are many different DSL internet providers available, but one of the most popular of these seems to be NetZero DSL. This is a relatively new service offered by NetZero, as it was only introduced in 2007. It offers broadband internet service at speeds faster than any conventional dial up service. In fact, this NetZero DSL service is up to fifty times faster the dial-up when compared to a normal 56k dial up connection.
The customer does not need to have a credit card to sign up for the service either. They can be billed or supply their bank account information to have the service debited out once a month. One of reasons NetZero DSL service is so popular is the very low introductory rate of $12.95 that the company offers. This is only an introductory rate, but the regular monthly rate is still only $14.95, which is a great deal. The service also comes with free live 24/7 support for the first thirty days, with a charge of $1.95 after that. There is also a thirty day money back guarantee for anyone who signs up for the service. To qualify for this refund, all modem equipment must be returned to the company in workable condition.
The customer will receive the Norton Anti-Virus software free as part of their subscription to NetZero. This software will help protect your computer by detecting viruses early and removing them before they can cause damage. The NetZero DSL service plan will also come with a free modem with firewall and a free email account with built in video capabilities. Best of all, the NetZero DSL comes with a free pop up blocker program, that will block unwanted advertisements while online. The pop up blocker also includes a counter to let you know just how many pop ups were blocked.
NetZero DSL also offers a Norton Internet Security software package, for $4.95 a month. This package includes everything you need to keep your computer safe from outside sources. This security package will remove viruses from both email and internet messaging, and block internet worms. It also includes parental controls, which will allow the user to limit what content can be accessed online by their children. The service also has an anti-spam feature, which automatically removes spam and phishing emails from your account. The Norton Internet Security software will also inspect websites to ensure their legitimacy before allowing you to access them. There is a quite two way firewall also included with this security package, which will ensure greater security as well.
The email service offered for NetZero DSL customers is called Mega Mail, and it includes 2GB of email storage space, as well as space for up to 5000 contact listings. There are 50 differnt sort and delete options available, as well as space to block up to 750 email addresses. Mail forwarding and external POP services are part of the Mega Mail package as well. The customer also has the ability to access their email from an external outside program, such as Microsoft Outlook.
