JPS: Slow, unresponsive, a waste of money.

Thu, 21 Dec 2000 03:31:33 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Speeeedy_J - From early in 1999 JPS was my 2nd dial-up ISP and it was the worst of them all. In my experience with it I've encountered many many problems trying to just CONNECT to get online.

For me at least, they also are very unresponsive to e-mail help...

JPS: JPS-ANTICIPATION.......

Mon, 13 Nov 2000 23:40:29 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tahoenpa - I've used JPS for the past three months and have been totally fed up with the connection speed and performance. Although the price is inline with other ISP's, the constant daily problems with connecting and staying connected has become a nightmare...

JPS: JPS be gone!

Sat, 8 Jul 2000 01:50:14 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author rocoboko - We live in a rural area where the large ISP's don't have service, so our choices are limited.

We decided to use JPS for our church because we could drop the monthly service charge to $11.50 a month by paying for a year in advance. Well,...

JPS: JpsNet? OneMain? EarthLink? AH!

Sun, 7 May 2000 20:31:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Dbbum - 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...

JPS: No good

Mon, 10 Apr 2000 16:33:07 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author capps - Living in Northern California, I had heard about JPS.net since they started. No long after I signed up, I started to run into problems. My connection would be dropped every few minutes. Tech support always claimed that the problem must be caused by my...

JPS: Great ISP

Sun, 9 Apr 2000 15:42:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author calam63 - After using a number of Internet Service Providers, I have found the one I am going to stick with for a long time. I have found that JPS is great for many factors for example, the price ands service. I use JPS for a substantial 8.95 per month. To me...

JPS: The average wait is... blah blah blah

Fri, 7 Apr 2000 05:50:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author frogwomyn - 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...

JPS: JPS: Just Pick another Service-provider

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author yuagogo - This review of JPS.net is based on the usage of their networks in the California, Bay Area. The performance in your area may be different. I'll make this review concise and short:

The only reason to go with JPS is the price but I think they...

JPS: JPS nuts and bolts ISP

Wed, 16 Feb 2000 12:47:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author 12Martians - I looked through Microtimes two years ago shopping

ISPs. At that time, I found that JPS offered the most for the

least. 5 email addresses, 5 megs on the web, unlimited

connection time (a big deal back then). All for less

than $10...

JPS: Give 'em a break!

Sat, 5 Feb 2000 13:48:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author howtru - 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...

JPS: Economy Car for the Info Superhighway

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 04:33:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author spidra - 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...

JPS: Yin & Yang

Sat, 22 Jan 2000 15:19:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author davidtrabue - I started up with JPS in August of 1998. At the time they charged an annual fee of $99. It was a GREAT deal, relatively speaking. They offered the most webspace (10MB) of the few other ISPs around at that price in the San Francisco area. It was easy to...

JPS: JPS is fairly decent, but not good

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 22:25:00 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author splitsurround - 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...

JPS: JPS works for Me!

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 23:17:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author danae - 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...

JPS: Good ISP for AOL's bring your own plan

Sat, 15 Jan 2000 11:08:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MotherWestWind - 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...

JPS: You get what you pay for, and you get very little

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 05:04:59 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author norm - 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...

JPS: What happened to JPS??

Fri, 24 Dec 1999 03:33:26 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - JPS.net was GREAT for the first year that I used it. I previously had an ISP here in Northern California that was the absolute worst...Inreach.com. I was not used to good service and JPS came through.

After a year, things took a sharp turn...

JPS: JPS stands for "Just Plain Sucks"

Thu, 23 Dec 1999 17:45:22 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jillianjiggs - 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...

JPS: JPS.net - Good small - now Bad Large

Thu, 2 Dec 1999 03:32:23 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author blakex - 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...

JPS: Tech Support..what's a tech?

Mon, 22 Nov 1999 17:05:01 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ReviewWarrior - 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...

JPS: You get what you pay for...

Sun, 14 Nov 1999 21:06:03 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Fanatic - I've been using JPS for about a year and a half. I started with them because they were so cheap and seemed to give a lot of value for the money. Over the past 18 months they've had several email outages, ongoing bandwidth shortages, and busy signals...

JPS: Price vs. Service

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 19:46:33 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MLF_Productions - Think you're getting the best value for your buck? If so, read on...

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...

JPS: Used to be great...

Thu, 4 Nov 1999 15:07:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SeanK - 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...

JPS: 3 strikes for JPS -- they're OUT!

Tue, 26 Oct 1999 22:01:05 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author eds - 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...

JPS: Great for surfing, when you get the chance to!

Thu, 30 Sep 1999 03:45:17 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author BrianD - 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...
