Even worse than AT&T if that says anything. Customer service is so bad I can't think of a word appropriate to explain it and I've had 45 min on hold to think about it. Keep looking and save yourself a headache.

I looked into it but setup cost is too high an wait time is ridiculous. According to people I've spoken to speed is great. On the other hand they had trouble reaching support

We had EarthLink while living in Pompano Beach Florida and worked perfectly for our home use for awhile . We used for misc home things and for stock market use. We did start getting scams and cons and so call freezing Pop ups for money or would delete our computer. Have to shut down the computer and reopen.

Jlbfla, It sounds like what was affecting your computer were viruses. I don't believe that our services caused these issues. I recommend getting some anti-virus software to install on your computer. We're glad that our services overall were good for your home for the majority of our time with you and it is unfortunate that you're no longer with us, it is our goal to provide the best customer experience and its clear we fell short of that. Thank you for your feedback, we will put this in place for future training purposes.

It was ok to have EarthLink as an internet service. But when Verizon gave me service through them for free and stoped paying EarthLink and switched!

I wish I couldn't rate it at all. Earthlink is a scam. I'm letting everybody know. I used 62% of my data in 2 days. They want you to keep buying data.

2 years ago

Reply from EarthLink Internet

Tina, we apologize for any miscommunication upon sign up but our wireless home internet is not a truly unlimited service and does come with data caps once you've reached your high speed data limit. This should've been communicated with you by the agent at the point of sale. Our wireless home internet service isn't something we would normally recommend to gamers and streamers either, so if you were attempting to perform these activities over this network it could've been the cause of the extreme data usage. We're sorry that your experience with this service was not up to par, we will take this information and use it for further training purposes moving forward.

Hello, my name is Nelson with the Executive Relations Team here at EarthLink. I'm very sorry to hear you had to wait for so long on hold, on the date you had reached out many of our customers were experiencing issues related to their emails and so we had a large influx of calls coming in. I am very sorry this has impacted you so greatly, we never want to keep anyone waiting for assistance.
