Edit: I guess this post is free advertising for these shitters, so I will describe what I previously linked.

There is this TV you can get for free but it has a ads on screen constantly and it has a camera pointed at you to record your reactions to ads and to ensure you don’t cover up the ad portion of the screen.

    There were several isps that did this years ago… A banner at bottom is of your screen showing ads, free internet. They all went bankrupt I think.

      Considering you can buy a decent TV for a few hundred dollars these days, I don’t see it going much differently for this company either.

        You can still get 10 free hours a month on their dialup. Over 10 hours and you have to pay for their super ultra extreme dialup.
