EarthLink Fixed Wireless
August 11, 2024 We are recently new customers of EarthLink. We left our previous provider due to pricing and being double billed several times within the last year. The provider refused to offer refunds and tried to offer credits instead. The installation process was frustrating. We were without internet for almost 2 weeks because we had to wait almost a week for an appointment, and then wait another 4 days for another technician to come to our house because the first technician didn’t install everything correctly. The speed is just ok. I feel like it could be faster. The price is manageable at around $90 per month.

May 16, 2023 My internet service provider, Verizon, has been fast and reliable for as long as I can remember. I had the opportunity to upgrade several years back and didn't even need to because all of my equipment still works as well as it did when it was first installed. I think the suburban area that I live in has something to do with the quality of the fiber optic cables, but for the price I pay, I feel as if I'm getting good value for my money. When satellite TV lets me down due to weather interference, I know I can always rely on having a strong Internet connection from Verizon to keep me engaged with all my favorite devices.

November 12, 2026 Fair, but occasionally spotty, especially with rainstorms. Low ratings are based as much on my dissatisfaction with their sometimes confusing website and difficulty in determining exactly how much it would cost me to change my current plan.
