jypagan Posted April 9, 2006 Author CID Share Posted April 9, 2006 Sorry use the same address but on earthlink make sure the "E" is lower case and will show it to you for some reason is showing the e in upper case no lower case sorry for the inconvenience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted April 9, 2006 CID Share Posted April 9, 2006 Correct me if I am wrong. So they are going to give 4 x faster than dialup internet access, for $20 a month? Sounds pretty alright. It would help out lower incomers. By the way, that obviously worked, thanks. Just noticed the same thing happened with mine. I just posted the link and it did the same thing. So I edited it out.

gotmilk Posted April 9, 2006 CID Share Posted April 9, 2006 No, they are going to provide a free wi-fi internet service, and another $20 wi-fi service that's 4-5X faster than the free one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
