Pros: Below $20, Reliable, Works with Mac Cons: Long wait for tech support
Earthlink is a pretty good ISP; I have been using them now for about 6 months. I switched over from AOL and I must say it's quite an improvement. Being a Mac user AOL is unusable. Earthlink is nice because you use a standard browser to access the...

Pros: National provider with fairly reliable service Cons: Terminating service is a headache
While using Earthlink, everything seemed 'okay'. There were evening that it took several attempts to get passed the busy signals but once you got on, it was fairly reliable.
Setting up the account was relatively simple. I made a phone call,...

Pros: Above average connection speeds. Cons: Poor if not bad service and support.
I have been online for several years now and have used MSN, AOL, a local ISP, and am now with Earthlink. To be honest it's not all that it appears to be.
Earthlink has provided my family above average connections, average email service, and...

Pros: New and Improved comparable to AOL Cons: No more Hot Bot
Earthlink is a connection out of this world. They are new and improved. They are now introducing the new 5.0. Yes Earthlink now has a 5.0. The good thing is unlike some of their competitors it hasn't kicked me out, froze up or denied my computer from...

Pros: Fast, cheap, dependable Cons: still costs!
EarthLink is a great service, although I'm not sure they know why! My friends and I have been sharing (and I mean SHARING) an EarthLink account for almost 2 years. I got the account for myself, to use in a house with some friends. Obviously, with one...

Pros: great customer service, relatively few on-line problems Cons: very slow to answer e-mail questions, slow to answer the phone
My husband and I originally signed up with Earthlink because of the fact that they were offering a $100 rebate when we purchased our computer system. The $100 was a great incentive to give them a try.
We signed up with Earthlink last...

Pros: none Cons: expense, inability to connect
I tried to get Earthlink as a server. And I couldn't even get through the sign-up process without being bumped off six times. I finally gave up and went to AOL. But Earthlink kept charging me claiming that I had completed the process (well, not...

Pros: Good connection, great customer service, good price Cons: none!
After a bad experience with AOL, and looking to find an ISP that my husband could connect to when he was on the road, we decided to try Earthlink. We had gotten the cd in the mail, and looked it over, and I have to admit, the free camera was rather...

Pros: Ease of use, never a busy signal Cons: Spam e-mails, slow connection speed
Compared to other popular ISPs, like AOL or Erols, Earthlink is just slightly above average. Signing up for Earthlink is very simple, and they even send you an e-mail to efficiently guide you through the process. It gives you very few busy signals,...

Pros: President has neat sounding name? (Sky) Cons: spam, dial-up problems, service
A dearth is defined as a lack of something. During my thirteen months
with Earthlink as my ISP I've noted a consistently unsatisfactory and, indeed, even declining level of overall service. Earthlink originally tried to portray itself as a...

Pros: fast for 56k, reliable connections. Cons: no reason to call tech support.
Though i am still young i have used several internet service providers (isp). I began at the age of 14 with AOL. i thought it was cool because it seemed to focus on chat rooms. I loved the chat rooms. Ofcourse i was extremely annoyed with their...

Pros: Easy to use, get digital web cam, free month service for recommended people Cons: They never inform you when they shut down to reconstruct
This is the only way to get Earthlink advertised, since I have not seen commercials on TV. Earthlink is fairly easy to use, has a fast connection ( I had a connection at 49333 bps) and takes half the time to download a page than AOL. At times, Earthlink...

Pros: Once you learn how to use it is fairly simple. Cons: Mail, chat, it is pretty slow, have trouble with alot of websites.
My family has been connected to Earthlink for only a few years, I am the only one who uses the computer so they refuse to change our server. I find it easy to dial up but I am constantly getting kicked off and having to log on again. I much preffered...

Pros: Great service, fair price, no surprises Cons: software only for Win98
I have been using Earthlink as my ISP for the last 2 years and it has been fantastic! In all that time I think I've only gotten a busy signal twice and never get disconnected. This was a welcome surprise as I used to be an AOL user and both busy signals...
