What do EarthLink customers think?

EarthLink is a 5G Home Internet, satellite and fiber internet provider. EarthLink is one of the more expensive providers out there, so customers have been less than satisfied with their internet prices. Depending on your location, you could have access to their fiber internet service, which offers more value. EarthLink’s plans start at $39.95/mo.

Far better in speed and reliability than Hughesnet and the other satellite ISP’s.

Amount of data is OK, but speed leaves a lot to be desired.

Do not use EarthLink, it is impossible to cancel after you realize how slow it is. Only gave one star because 0 wasn’t an option.
