Thumb Down

pipe dream

Back around the turn of the century there were all sorts of Pyramid type schemes for Internet access. These usually had the hook of 'unlimited internet access for a simple one off fee'. Invariably these all collapsed into a heap when econmic reality caught up to them. There is no way that you can offer free internet access for life in this manner unless you expect the life to be of a finite length. The economics just don't add up.

I enjoyed the pay once, eat all you can, times. I hopped between ISPs for a while but was pretty good while it lasted.
