800 MB Web Hosting FREE ???

[bilu]

This is no sort of advertising and I hope this post complies with the forum rules.

I've just saw in a magazine this British ISP offering 800 MB web hosting for free and couldn't realize what's the catch.

Here's the FAQ:

Has anyone tried this?

Going to give it a try - I'll let you all know....

Looks to me they want a lot of information from you. They even want your phone-number. When they find out you're lying about your information you wil be banned out. So nothing is for free these days, except open-source software.

there is loads of stuff for free... you just have to know admins etc :)

it's free because they will offer you "services" in the future. That translates to information harvesting to me, followed by a barrage of telemarketing, junk mail, and spam.

you need to access the service over dialup... no good for ADSL/Cable people....
