Wi-Free - Cheap and Affordable Alternative Internet Access

I have come across this cheap and affordable internet access while surfing the internet. It just only cost me for only $7 per month for the internet access. More or less its 300 pesos per month. It is an alternative internet access to cable internet connection. Given that the price is not that expensive as compared to the postpaid or monthly internet subscription, the download speed I am receiving is satisfying enough. I can do movie streaming, audio streaming and even movie download. It is more even convenient when  accessing social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter etc.

Its been almost 7 months that I am using this alternative internet access that indeed give a convenient service with regards in providing internet access. 

Basically, internet connection is working using USB modem either Globe Tattoo or Smart Bro. The name of the alternative internet connection is Wi-Free.

Either way you can acquire it through authorized reseller posted in Wi-Free site. At most, you may opt to purchase it on authorized reseller if you have no credit card or Paypal.
