Juno was great. There was another company similar to Juno with the same idea which I think started with an "N" if I remember correctly.
My dialup of choice was MetConnect. It was entirely free and fast no ads just dial in and use the Internet.
- terinjokes 3y agoNetZero, who eventually bought Juno after they went under in the dot-com bubble.
- daveloyall 3y agoI set up a local BBS-like system and used the real NetZero* dialer to call it and attempt to log in. Then I changed my password and repeated the process several times. That gave me the key to the Caesar cipher they used for the password.. so I could create a fresh account with a scrambled password any time I wanted. At runtime, in the OS-provided ad-free dialer, I'd use the unscrambled password. I also pre-created some accounts with unscrambled passwords like "apple" and "bicycle" to share with friends. NetZero* ceased operations mere weeks after I started this.. Hm. (* Was it NetZero specifically, or some clone? I forget..)
