yes and earthlink is meant for those who can be content with a 56k modem connection, it's amazing to me because for the cost of dial-up plus a 12 pack or a few packs of smokes everyone could be on cable/dsl or sat each month. msn/earthlink/aol started to die 2 years ago which is why the decided to go contract basis. By the time most of the contracts are up, dial-up as a connection method will have long been dead. People dont even design websites/webmercials or any streaming content with the 56k user in mind.

Recently, Earthlink laid off their customer service department. Any problems you have with earthlink, according to their press release, must be dealt with via the company doing the service, ie covad, etc. It seems that not having a profit for MANY quarters is demanding that they change their business model. I have dsl and hope I don't have any issues in the future. I've been with earthink for about 5 years and I will drop them at the first sign of problems. Just my 6 cents.

Just for information purposes, Earthlink is owned by Sprint, or it is a subsidiary of Sprint.

We cancelled our earthlink twice last fall and just noticed they have been billing our account still for the past eight months. Our fault for not watching our bank account more closely. I guess the answer is to also notify your bank to not pay any more billings from Earthlink. I guess what disappoint me most is that I joined them through advertising from KSL Radio in Salt Lake City, which I respect, I guess...

whats funny is that even after you cancle with a big internet company your username and password will still work. it takes time for them to actually delete you from there servers. i guess they figure that if you are cancling your service that you would not try to still dial up i hade an accound with citilink in MPLS for 2 years and then cancled and it still works for e-mail and dial up 4 years later. same thing with another provider i used here in WI now.

I've been using Earthlink DSL for about two years now and I really haven't had any major problems. It's 49.99 a month for 1.5 megs a second speed.

Actually EarthLink isn't owned by Sprint, or any other company. Sprint is just a business partner.
How do I know this? I work for EarthLink.

I have been with Earthlink for over 5 years now. They have been great both with dial-up and now with DSL. THeir customer support has been exceptional though, I have to admit, I haven't used it lately. Up time vastly superior to any other ISP I have dealt with and I deal with a lot at my client's sites. When I first put in DSL a tech support person stayed on the phone with me for 3+ hours during the Xmas holidys to get it running due to software incompatiblity.
Nothing but thebest to say about Earthlink.
BTW - I use SBC as my carrier for the DSL line and Earthlink as my ISP. No trouble with either for the last 3 years of DSL.

1.) Earthpuke overcharges
2.) Has S-L-O-W customer support
3.) Provides poor service

I am nothing but pleased with earthlink overall. However, 56K is all I can count on due to MY needs. I have a laptop as the only computer in my house and I like the ability to connect to the Internet at any of my 5 locations at work, from any friends house, or while on a trip to visit relatives 1000 miles away. No matter where I go I can connect to the internet without any major problems. Further, I DON'T want a computer that is constantly connected to the Internet because I don't want to have to spend so much time getting the latest firewalls and software to protect from someone 'booting' up my computer while I am asleep or out on the trail. I just disconnect and pull the plug. For my needs Earthlink is great. I only have one complaint, and that is a standard one: No matter what a service costs, we always want it for less.

ALL of my friends have left EarthPuke due to the fact that after EarthPuke took over Volaris our rates more than doubled and the service was not near as good.

Maybe some of you don't appreciate excellent support. I was on the line with Earthlink for 3 hours two Xmas's ago when I did a self install of the DSL line. We went through the testing and registry tweaking to optimize the connection parameters. Maybe y'all don't understand the level of support I received especially tweaking registry settings but I do. Earthlink in the years I have had them are second to NONE. For the rest of you that aren't willing to pay for performance and support then go elsewhere.

Comcast just recently took over as our cable service provider. It used to be AT&T. Not only did Comcast boost the monthy rate but they trimmed down the basic service. We are paying about $79 dollars a month for basic service with Showtime. With AT&T, basic service was only about $49 a month. F*ck Comcast!! I am switching to Dish Network for $39 a month!

To hell with AT&T as well. I did everything to get AT&T completely out of my life. Dropped cable in lieu of satellite. No long distance. No cellular service. Screw 'em.

Same with me, no more AT&T anything. Overrated, overpriced.
But I am still with Earthlink and still getting killer 24/7 service from them. Funny how the opinions vary so greatly on them!

Lab Rat - I agree...Earthlink has been nothing but great performance and service to me. I need uptime and that's what I get. The whiners and complainers probably don't understand which end of the cord to plug into the router.

If you want to plug them in they do. Not that many here would know the difference between a router, a switch, a hub or a modem.
