Have you seen that netzero commercial? I think that is the biggest lie ever. They show two computers plugged into normal phone jacks and one with normal dial up and the other with there netzero "highspeed". When they showed the pages loading the one on the left is regular dial up which did look like normal dial up loading times. But the netzero dialup was showing pages faster then most people on a standard 1.5 mbps could get. Those kind of commercials should be taken off of the air. I wish they wouldn't keep tricking grandmas into getting such a bogus service.
I haven't seen the Netzero commercial, but I have seen the one from Earthlink and, coming from that company, it does not surprise me, in all fairness, I must mention that it's been quite awhile since I have heard from anyone that uses it as their ISP, a buddy of mine had switched to it from Erols a few years ago and during the trial period, he became so fed up with its mail server problems, as well as, what he characterized as "practically non existent customer support", that he decided not to sign up for the service, fortunately for him, OOL became available in his town at the same time that his Earthlink trial period was about to expire.
Concerning Netzero, which is now a joint venture with Juno and trades under the "United Online" corporate name, it's disappointing to hear that such a commercial is being aired for them, especially when it wasn't that long ago that their respective slogans were "Netzero, Defenders of the Free World" and "Choose Juno, Because e-mail was Meant to be Free".
