Recommended Posts

$39.95/month for 1.5Mbps service

$44.95/month for 3.0Mbps service

That's what's stated on the earthink website, as for how good they are, wait for .s1 to see this topic, he'll let you know, he's an earthink tech.

Well .s1's upload average for the past 30 days is

Upload 30 Day Stats (Overall Average = 329 Kbps :: 40 KB/sec)

But, he seems to be on a different plan that listed in my previous post, He is getting over 5Mb download.

I've only been with Earthlink since Feb.'04 but I've had zero problems in that time. Well, except for a bad cable from the wall to my modem but I suspect my wife's furniture rearrangement had a big part in that.

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.
