Offer based provision of fee based network access is presented herein. An access component can provide a complementary access of first content of a network to a device without a per-access fee to a user account associated with the device. A monitor component can receive, from the device, a request for an alternate access of second content of the network that is different from the first content. The access component, based on a characteristic associated with the network determined to satisfy a defined condition with respect to the alternate access, can send an offer directed to the device for purchase of the alternate access with the per-access fee to the user account.
