JPS

Pros: cheap monthly price, but not worth the savings due to the inability to connect
Cons: lots o' busy signals, congested network

JPS.net unfortunately gives truth to the adage "you get what you pay for." They have one of the cheapest rates for internet access, but be aware that you get inferior connectivity (if you can even connect) as a result. I switched to them...

Pros: Rates are low
Cons: none

I moved to the country (Lake County) and was dismayed that AOL didn't offer a local number so I searched around and found JPS.net. I have been delighted with their service for almost two years now. Tech support is THERE for you, helpful at every step. I...

Pros: Cheap, Easy To Use And Setup, Servers Never Down, Lots Of Internet Plans
Cons: Connection Seems To Be Getting Slow

With all the ISP companies out there today, its almost hard to find a good one. Look no further, because this may be the only one you need. I signed up about 2 years ago when JPS was a California only ISP and service was really fast. I have a 56K...

Pros: Prices (if you could connect!)
Cons: Connection and referral program.

JPS not as bad as AOL or 386 computers, although I would not cast my vote for them to anyone. When I signed up with JPS I was amazed by their prices. They were reasonable, and had a great referral plan. The first problem I had with their service was...

Pros: Great price
Cons: Un-reliable in certain areas

I have been using JPS for a while (6 months) now and even though it's not my account (I use a friend of mine's when I am at his house) I find it to be fairly reliable and he...

Pros: inexpensive, reliable
Cons: a few connection problems

I have been a JPS.net customer for approximately 6 months. I have been very pleased with my service thus far. I have only had a problem connecting 3 times in the last 6 months, and 2 of them were in the last 30 days. My connection usually goes thru on...

Pros: Good connect rate - almost 100%
Cons: Poor tech support, ok prices.

JPS.net used to be a small ISP in California offering net access for only $99/year. Now that they've gone nationwide, raised their prices, and lost any tech support they used to have, they've just about lost all my respect.

Although I'm still...

Pros: still somewhat cheap
Cons: slow, unreliable

I started using JPS back in 1996. At that time, JPS was a local ISP that provided okay service for the $11.00 we paid every month. Over the course of just a year, the JPS began to provide worse and worse service. Pretty soon, it was near impossible to...

Pros: It's cheap
Cons: Poor Tech Support

Anyone who has called in to use JPS has talked to one of their tech support people. I have found a specific problem with their support (in Sacramento area) that has really annoyed me. When a caller has a problem connecting and they call in to JPS I...

Pros: Good technical support, wide service area
Cons: Unreliable servers

I have to agree with my fellow reviewers about JPS.net. In a nutshell, they used to be a great ISP but their reliability has dropped considerably in the last year or so.

I signed on to JPS because I wanted an ISP that provided local coverage...

Pros: Lots of space and email
Cons: Need a really good phone battery to sit on hold!

I was a JPS.NET customer for 9 months. It was ridiculous. At first it was great, but we had problems connecting almost daily. When we would call the tech support it would take forever, and they would always suggest using their online tech support. I...

Pros: Cheaper than most ISPs with great tech support response time
Cons: Server has gone down 3 times in the past week (11/3/99), website layout could use an overhaul

This epinion was formerly known as "JPS convinced me to leave Netcom." Since that writing, I have had 3 bad experiences with JPS and have downgraded my opinion of them. I have appended my new epinion on them at the end of my original...

Pros: reasonably stable, not a lot of busy signals
Cons: slow connection speeds, bad service

jps.net , when I first connected around 2 years ago was clearly the best ISP I could find, and the cheapest-working out to only about $12 a month. Since that time, it has been fairly decent at best, and downright lame at worst.
The upside is...

Pros: Low cost, support for several OSes, apps
Cons: oversold, dropped connections, some busy signals

History does repeat itself. Local ISPs start up, work hard, and build up a clientele. The moment they reach critical mass they get sold to some larger concern. The customer is only a stepping stone to the company's real objective: getting eaten up by...

Pros: Very good price
Cons: It's different for everybody

Well, I must say, I am truly a computer novice. Even more so with selecting an ISP. I tried the biggies at first....you know who you are....too congested, too expensive, you name it, it was just a hassle. Anyway, a friend in my department at work told...
