Onemain what?!? Pain!! ("Now an Earthlink Company")

by LisaDo Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Nov 26 '00
Pros: Sometimes it works
Cons: Slow response time. Then when you get thru, they never know anything.
We signed up under a local ISP back in Nov '99 when we first got our computer. At the time, they were the only local ISP (we live in the boondocks) that we knew of at the time. Since we weren't happy with them, we were looking for a change. My husband...

One Main Pain!

by BryRrose Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Apr 06 '00
Pros: Haven't found any
Cons: Customer Service, Connections are slow
I have had the same internet provider for over two years. I did not have one complaint with the service that they provided me. I was happy with the price and customer service.

Well about two months ago, my provider changed to OneMain.com....

OneMain Not My Main One For Long

by lucyricardo , Jan 18 '01
Pros: They claim the rates will not change from the former ISP.
Cons: The connection time is Slow.
Among the ISP's that provide a local connection number in my telephone company service area is OneMain. They identify themselves as the "Hometown Internet Service" because the technical support personnel supposedly live and work in the area. ...

Not at all impressed

by bcrowder , Apr 06 '00
Pros: unknown at this time
Cons: horrible customer support
My internet service provider just recently switched to OneMain.com and I am not at all impressed with it. I think that their customer service is absolutely horrible.

Ever since the changeover I have been having various problems so I sent off...

OneMain = OneBigPain

by wavespy , Oct 13 '00
Pros: Joe Namath, Tiger Woods, Pete Sampras
Cons: they just plain don't care...as a matter of fact, they suck
Why can't I find an Internet Service Provider that delivers what they promise, I think to myself as I deal with the constant busy signals and sudden disconnects??

My first experience with ISPs was with AOL...and like most internet newbies I...

If you're gonna dial up, OneMain might be the way to go.

by Matty_Roze , Nov 17 '00
Pros: Inexpensive; No "use" charges; Good connection speeds.
Cons: Dial-up ISPs all have the same problems.
Dial-up internet access can be a downright pain in the butt, am I right? First, I don't care what company you sign-up with, you WILL have dial up problems. Second, if you want to be able to use the internet without more banner ads from "free"...

One Sorry Day

by jpdriver , Aug 15 '00
Pros: Hmmmmm...
Cons: Unreliable, slow, frustrating.
When I first signed up with an ISP, there was only one available in this area. I didn't realized that TheGrid was different from any other, because I had nothing for comparison. I didn't know how well-off I was!

We still only have one...

Pros: Good Connection Speed

Like the many others that have written opinions on Onemain.com I have also encountered several of the problems that they have had.

I often get busy signals at night but it has seemed to get better in the last week or so. I also have...

Pros: Easy, Good connectivity
Cons: Poor Usenet feeds, poor email reliability, poor service, over priced
Teleport, a long time Portland Oregon internet service provider, had earned a reputation in Portland as a stable, reliable, service oriented ISP. Unfortunately, as often happens, a larger corporation, in this case OneMain.Com, consumed this small ISP....

by rangerstyle , May 21 '00
Pros: None
Cons: Website lacks the information most of us want to know (PRICE)
After seeing someone else's review on this product I was compelled to see whether or not it was a free internet ISP, or a Pay for access (typical) ISP. From the other Epinion member's writing - slow connections, poor customer service, and the like I...

Oh, What Happened to Customer Service?

by bethrn , Jan 05 '01
Pros: Many dialup locations ?
Cons: Everything else
As most of you know, OneMain.com bought out United States Internet (USIT) a year or so ago. I signed up with USIT as my ISP back over 5 years ago. There were only 2 local ISPs in my rural town back then, and USIT was far superior, as I had accounts...

by sangen , May 12 '00
Pros: Haven't found a thing!
Cons: Poor customer service, terrible connection
This is going into the second day of service with OneMain.com as service provider for this area. Like so many others, my smaller ISP was originally Cococo.net which was bought by US Internet and now OneMain.com.

A Wonderful ISP that has Never given me a Problem

by hwz1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jan 04 '00
Pros: Amazingly good customer service, fast and never overcrowded
Cons: None
Many of you will not recognize the name onemain.com, but a lot of you surely use one of their subsidiaries as your ISP. Onemain.com is a company that purchased a number of smaller ISP's that are not in "huge" markets and rolled them up into...

by johnrichards , Feb 12 '01
Pros: see review
Cons: see review
Here's my OneMain experience. OneMain consists of many small ISPs recently conglomerated into one, so others may have had very different experiences.

I saw their ad a couple of months ago on TV, and being sick of my free ISP, I decided to...

"One" of the worst ISPs ever

by jonotrain , May 21 '00
Pros: none
Cons: poor connection and customer service
Onemain.com is one of the most pathetic ISPs ever in terms of the internet connection they offer, and customer service. I get frequent busy signals at busy times of day, and when I do not receive a busy signal my connection speeds can be in the teens,...

One Main Problem after another

by mrj75 , Jul 09 '00
Pros: None as of yet
Cons: terriable technical support, bad connection speeds, and can't hardly ever connect.
My internet provider was midwest, and they recently combined with one main, and I'm very unhappy with the service. I have been from day 1. I'm seriously thinking about switching back with my other provider they were much better.

by Chnltbunch , Mar 23 '00
Pros: none
Cons: busy signals all the time, slow connection
My local internet service has just been bought up by this company and to tell you the truth, I dont like it. Before the transfer over to this company my local isp had to be the best. They prided themselves for fast connections and NO busy signals....

oneMain saved the day.

by rejena , Feb 09 '00
Pros: Larger company means faster connects.
Cons: Transferring over was TOUGH with LONG busys and cutoffs.
Our old isp was bought by OneMain late last year. When the transfer took place things were VERY ROUGH for about one month. After that though we have been having wonderful success with this company.

We have good, reliable service that is...

by Andipandi74 , Oct 06 '00
Pros: not too slow, cheap with great deals they run
Cons: sometimes lags a bit.
In the spring my ISP at the time shut down all the lines in our area...grrr the worst is they didn't even notify anyone we had to call them to complain. But anyway this isn't a review on my former provider so I'll spare the sordid...

OneMain.com - Not For Me

by logansb633 , Feb 13 '01
Pros: OK connections.
Cons: Basically everything else.
I also started out using USIT (U.S. Internet) based in Knoxville, TN. Connection speeds were fair, averaging 28800 or so. Of course, I live out in the area that doesn't have very good phone lines, but I assume if I was anywhere else, I would have...

Cons: tech support could be a little faster

by bmils , May 09 '00
Pros: Good Prices
Cons: Bad Connections
I have to commend OneMain.com with retaining the rates in which JPS.net provided for years. It's very honorable for a large company to come into play and honor the previous service costs. With that I'm impressed. However, with JPS.net I never had any...

by Bluffer , Oct 31 '00
Pros: Formerly was a great ISP
Cons: Poor connectivity, email outages
The Grid was a superior ISP. Since OneMain took over, it's been steadily deteriorating. Now takes several tries to get a connection (busy signals are rare, it just won't connect). Problems have been increasing the past couple of weeks. Lately, email has...

Cons: Lousy customer service, Billing problems, contact problems

by noman1951 , Oct 30 '00
Pros: none
Cons: poor connection, slow connection, very poor e-mail
As JPS Net this ISP was satisfactory. When One Main.Com took over, the change over was very noticeable, disconnects multiplied (my standby Alta Vista did not disconnect so it wasn't the lines). During peak times 8am to 8pm email delivery became and is...

Watch your bank

by cawann , Oct 25 '00

Cons: money hungry
OneMain has repeatedly taken money from me, after I cancelled my subscription with them. So my point would be if you choose them, you must choose them for ever. Otherwise you will be charged for not using them.
Just be careful with giving them...
