wingzero2309 Posted March 30, 2005 CID Share Posted March 30, 2005 Earthlink uses Time Warners connection where I live, so basically, Earthlink and RoadRunner are one in the same (dunno if thats true for everywhere though) Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/3652-is-earthlink-a-good-isp/#findComment-37508 Share on other sites More sharing options...

xs1 Posted March 30, 2005 CID Share Posted March 30, 2005 thx for the input and am just wondering y they only offer 512 i meen how can they compete with Comcast abd optimum or even rcn they gotta up the speed even more Yea, sadly The whole time warner division, who a few months ago was on top...is now falling way behind. If something else is avaliable in my area im switching.. if not then Elink it is, but flawless service for the most part for the past few years.
