The Federal Trade Commission (TFC) wants everyone to know that some "free" offers for the internet may really costs you a lot of money in the long run because of the restrictions and conditions on those offers may not be written clearly. Also, most of the "free" offers only last a month then after that you automatically get signed up and charged for the months after the "free" one.
The FTC wants the people to know what questions to ask before you sign up for these "free" offers that way you don't lose money in the long run.
1. How do you cancel the service? Can you cancel online or by calling the service provider's phone number?
2. If you sign up for service, when are you billed each month?
3. If you sign up for service, are you committing to paying for the service for a year?
