Well, the truth is they do not set a limit to the amonut you an use .. however, if your bandwith usage affects other peoples sites, then they will either limit you or close your site.

However, I doubt this would ever be a problem unless you were running some sort of business or service site.

So don't worry about the bandwith usage, you don't have a set limit per month or anything, and I doubt you would use so much that it would affect other sites on the Freeola servers.

Depends, not every Upload is the same, depending on where you live, what your BT exchange is like.

But for a rough guess, £1 is about 1 and a half hours online, so maybe 15MB, 20MB, depending on the quality of your line, and how busy the system is.

It is slow ... but only if you compair it to Broadband, but for what it is, it's suprising fast.

I only really spend about 50p - £1 every weekend Uploading quite a bit.

It costs the same ... to dial Freeola is the cost of a local call, and you can Upload or surf through their connection. But, if you've got broadband, there is no point useing Freeola to surf, it will cost you and be slower, making it poitless having broadband.

Oh right .... well, do you still have a dial-up modem????

you can still use that, but you can't go through your broadband connection.

Depends, do you mean another dial-up account (like Freeserve??)

If so, yes you can. You just need to select which ISP to dail to at the time. Just remember you do have to dial freeola to Upload. But for general surfing, you can use your current ISP.
