FREE Home Internet???

What do you pay for your home internet service? $40-$50 a month is pretty typical if you don't have a TV/Internet/Phone bundle from one of the big guys. Most of us stream movies and TV shows often on our home service so we need significant bandwidth but if you are more of a casual streamer, there is an incredible option for you!

FreedomPop is an up and coming internet service provider (ISP) that uses Sprint's 3G and 4G WiMAX netowrk to provide
decently fast internet to a home or mobile router. You purchase the router from them for around $100 and anywhere that they have a tower, you can get internet. For very light users who mostly use the internet for email and simple browsing, they have a completely FREE 1GB/month plan. If you want more data for streaming, they have an 8mbps plan that includes 10GB/month for $18.99/mo. Think that's not enough for you? Consider how much time you actually spend on your home internet in a day. A casual user who streaming roughly 10 hours of video a week and spends 3-4 hours a day surfing the web uses around 9 GB of data a month. If you are a heavy user, this may not be the option for you but if you are more casual in your data sucking habits, FreedomPop may be a great option for you!
