Beware of Earthlink's Unfair Practices and Poor Customer Service with Earthlink… Our recent experience with Earthlink has left us thoroughly disillusioned and frustrated. After relocating to a new area where Earthlink does not offer service, we had no choice but to cancel our subscription. However, what followed was a harrowing ordeal marked by Earthlink's unreasonable policies and lack of concern for customer satisfaction. Despite our earnest explanation to Earthlink representatives that our cancellation was solely due to their inability to serve our new location, they callously insisted on imposing an early cancellation fee. We pleaded with the managers we spoke with, hoping for some understanding and leniency given our circumstances. However, our appeals fell on deaf ears as they remained unwilling or unable to waive the fee. We were promised that the executive team would reach out to discuss the matter further. While they did attempt to contact us, we were unfortunately out of town at the time and missed their call. Since then, we have diligently pursued a resolution by reaching out to Earthlink on numerous occasions, only to be met with silence and indifference. Nearly two months have passed since our initial attempt to address this issue, yet we are no closer to a resolution. The utter disregard for customer concerns and the lack of responsiveness from Earthlink are simply unacceptable. In conclusion, our experience with Earthlink has been nothing short of a nightmare. We feel unjustly penalized for circumstances beyond our control, while Earthlink demonstrates a blatant disregard for customer satisfaction. We caution prospective customers to think twice before choosing Earthlink for their internet needs, as our experience serves as a stark warning of their unfair practices and abysmal customer service.

I have been with them for 30 years I have been with them for 30 years, but last week, their firewall has locked me out of sending and receiving emails. I'm basically sunk. So i have called tech support and they said it would be resolved in 72 hours. The worst. I am actively going to one.com. what a difference. Update: I have reviewed the response from Samantha and frankly you should check wit your technical team, before you respond. You (carrierzone - your provider) has put in geo locking for email - so if you leave the USA you email will stop working. I am on travel for a few weeks and I cannot send or receive email. This has destroyed my trip, but it's OK the 'TEAM' at earthlink said they could unlock it, but it actually takes a week for EACH county. UPDATE #2: I now have email access in London - but guess what - they have turned off me access from the USA (I can tell since email does not work with my VPN turned on). I'll have to file another ticket to see if I can get my IP unblocked from the USA. This will take another '72 hours'

I have been with Earthlink approximately 5-6 years I have been with Earthlink approximately 5-6 years and I can't say anything bad about the company, and it's employees. Anytime I've experienced an issue, regardless of the time of day, or night, they have always been there on the spot with a cheerful greeting and they zero in on the problem and resolve it. I'm very happy with Earthlink and the staff.

If I could give this company zero stars… If I could give this company zero stars I would. I recently moved to a new city and decided to give Earthlink a try. I immediately regretted by decision. I work from home and rely on the internet. On average, I get under 1 download speed and less than 1 upload speed. I have called their support team 3 times this week and spent hours on the phone with no solution. They nickel and dime you, support is horrible - they promise to escalate and nothing happens - they promise to call you back and nothing happens. I have to rely on the hotspot on my phone to do what I pay this service to do. And when I asked for a credit or refund because I can't use this service - they offered me $15... come on what a joke.

By far the worst company in… By far the worst company in communication and service. My internet was disconnected yesterday got it back up to date same day and the next day it’s still not back up and working . Agent says it’ll be on Monday!?? From Friday morning ?? Ridiculous. Even when getting the internet installed on my moving day they changed my dates around because it was more convenient for them to come on a different day than I scheduled! If I could go back to Spectrum or Verizon i would . But they are out of my area
