Installed fast and internet worked well for a week, then it stopped working. Earthlink sent out a service man and replaced the line. Internet went out because of a dog chewed through the cable.

This company is a scam
This company is a scam. The worst network ever. They connected my service and the same day, it went off. They did connected the second day, it went off again, I almost got in trouble with my job since I work from home. Bad customer service. When I decided disconnect the service, they want to charge me $200 fee. I would’ve gave zero stars if I could. They should be seeing by DOGE.

Honestly very disappointed in your…
Honestly very disappointed in your services. You only offer one speed in my area. Takes 10-20 min for anything to load. I called Do try and upgrade and was told that’s all you guys offer and to disconnect whatever I’m not using on a daily basis to make it go faster. I dont have the time nor does anyone want to do that everyday several times a day. When I called to cancel it cost me $200?!? What is the reason for that? I can Understand a disconnection fee because of the contract but $200?!?! You guys are ripping people off. It’s honestly sad. I now have a better provider and 1gig plus cable for less then you guys charge. I will Never recommend you guys to anyone.

Hello Carly,
I am sorry you were not happy with your EarthLink internet because of the amount of time it takes for anything to load. The sales agent did advise that the service was not the fastest service, but there was not a lot of options in the area. The sales agent never really forced the internet because he wanted to make sure you had enough speed for your internet needs. As for the $200.00 cancellation cost that was disclosed by the agent that this was a contract and that if the contract was broken there would be an early termination fee of up to $200.00. I am glad you were able to find internet that would suit your internet needs.

Hello Keith,
I’m glad to hear your internet has been working well. I do apologize that your technician arrived over an hour late. At times, delays can occur if the previous installation takes longer than expected. While we provide a scheduled time, there is typically a one-hour window past that time to account for unexpected issues that may arise.

It took a long time
It took a long time for the installation (5 hours) and he was late. The appointment was between 12 and 2 and he didn’t arrive until 3:30 and didn’t finish until 8 pm.

Hello Ibrahim,
I’m sorry you did not have the best experience with the installation due to the timing. While there is a set appointment window, delays can sometimes occur if the technician encounters issues during a previous installation. In your case, the longer wait may have been caused by unexpected circumstances that extended the installation time. In your case, the installation may have taken longer due to unexpected issues. This is also why we do not provide exact installation durations in advance. Again, I do apologize for your frustrations with your installation.

Hello Mr. Love,
I’m happy to hear that, although your technician Kevin experienced a small issue with a neighbor, he was still able to complete your internet installation. Despite the challenge, it’s great to know he was wonderful throughout the process and took the time to explain how everything works.

Still A Scam!!
In spite of Samantha, ER Specialist III, at Earthlink responding to my earlier review of the scam they were running on offering a $100 gift card for signing up and telling me she would follow up to get me my gift card, she has not responded to any of my emails asking for the status of my gift card. So again, Earthlink was just doing a bait & switch with that offer to get one to sign up. Beware of their scams!!!

Hello Ms. Commins,
I am sorry that you have not heard anything back regarding the 100.00 GC, but I have not received any emails from you regarding the gift card request. I have also been waiting to hear from another team the process for the WHI GC because we were advised another team would be handling that process. I went ahead and added you to this weeks gift card request, so please keep an eye on your emails over the next 14 days for an EarthLink Perks email.
Thank You,
