important notices

Due to power outages and downtown Victoria connectivity issues between Aug30 to Sep2 some Free-Net services went down. Our main tech support volunteer also experienced food poisoning, so during this week of Sep 7-11 our tech support volunteers will be addressing your inquiries as soon as they can. Thank you for your patience.
