They do a good job of filtering.
They only want you to see their sponsors ads.

Juno's free Internet connection is terrible for SEIV Play By WEB.
They bounced me. They claimed I used too much bandwidth.
They choked my service with so many ads and ad downloads that it would take about ten minutes of connection time before I got to the turn upload page. Then if my connection did not get bounced by this time, I could finally upload my turn.
So it took up to 20 minutes to do turn upload that should have taken about 2 minutes.
Then they bounced me and tried to sell me their premium service.

I use Access4Free for internet access now.
How does Juno's 'free' service work? I've found they have a local access number in town and I'm curious if it's worth signing up as a 'backup' access for when my reguar ISP has problems. Is it adware that actually downloads ads onto your local computer?? Or do they just force you to use a certain homepage with ads on it?
