It seems almost too good to be true, but by signing up for
freenetnames.co.uk internet access you do indeed get a .co.uk or org.uk
domain name for free! There are a few conditions (log on every 90 days, no
porn on your site, that sort of thing) but nothing too controversial.

The actual ISP service seems OK, EXCEPT that as soon as you attempt to
connect to a NNTP (like lugnet) or POP server other than  its own, it
disconnects you!


I find the ISP side of things excellent - www.valleytoy.co.uk is mine...

However, I've noticed something - if you want one of their banners on your
page the link is targetted to "_fnn" (or somesuch) which suggests to me that
they may, at some point, start putting a Xoom-style frame across the tops of
pages. Even so, with a bit of a criminal mastermind (or just knowing what to
do with frames and where your real pages are stored) this presents no
serious problems.

I feared that may happen. Time will tell I suppose...
