Congratulations!

You've been randomly selected as one of the 1000 free installations for FreeservePlus Home, our new ADSL service - saving you £150. You qualified through registering your interest in high speed Internet at Freeserve.com.

Some of our trialists had been using the service since February and found it made a huge difference to how they used the Internet. The key benefits they found with the service were:

- incredibly fast access at 1/2Mbs
- always on connection leading to much higher usage for no added cost
- it doesn't block your telephone or fax line while you're online

Installations of FreeservePlus Home have started now and we'll be contacting you shortly to see whether you'd like to take up the offer. Once you have been contacted it should only take a couple of weeks to get connected.

You lucky ******* :)

Freeserve announced their intention to roll-out an ADSL service quite a while ago. Those that registered for the service or the trial have been kept up to date via occassional emails.

A few weeks ago FS announce the Home-User service was about to go live. As part of the promotional campaign they announced that 1000 of the people that had pre-registered would get the service installed for free i.e. they would waive the £150 installation fee.

Looks like you are one of the lucky ones. If you choose to sign-up you will not be charged for installation only the monthly fee of £40.

I was hoping as I had registered my interest in March of this year I would be selected as one of the 1000 :(

Yeah me too:


Thank you for registering your interest in Freeserve high speed Internet.

We've been trialing ADSL since February and the trialists found it made a huge difference to how they used the Internet:

-incredibly fast access at 1/2Mbs
-always on connection leading to much higher usage
-fixed costs reducing overall Internet expenditure

We have now completed the random selection of 1000 free installation winners. Unfortunately, you weren't amongst those selected.

Freeserve is now contacting the many people who have registered an interest in the FreeservePlus Home and Business services to arrange installations. Freeserve's installation capacity is currently limited but is set to increase rapidly over the next couple of months.

If we don't get in touch beforehand we will notify you once our online registration system is up and running. This will allow you to check availability in your area and select an installation slot for the service all in a matter of minutes.

Thank you for your interest in Freeserve.
