Freei.Net Gains 100,000 New Subscribers In Just Six Days

SEATTLE, Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Freei.Net, the nation's only 100% free and anonymous Internet service provider, announced today that it has gained an unprecedented 100,000 new subscribers in just the past six days. That's an average of one new subscriber every 5.2 seconds. This soaring growth curve only serves to strengthen Freei.Net's status as one of the fastest-growing ISPs in history. Freei.Net is now the seventh-largest ISP in the nation, with 850,000 subscribers.

This explosion of new users has propelled Freei.Net in front of even America Online in terms of daily growth rates. In the past two days Freei.Net signed up an average of 25,000 new subscribers a day compared to AOL, which signs an average of just 12,000 per day.* ``Users are starting to realize that they don't have to pay for quality Internet access,' said Bob McCausland, president and CEO of Freei.Net. ``Why pay $250 a year for unlimited access, e-mail, chat, instant messaging and online disk storage when you can get it for free with Freei.Net?'
