Trustpilot needs a zero star option for… Trustpilot needs a zero star option for companies this bad. We had sporadic, weekend-long outages for a while and now our internet hasn't worked for more than a few minutes at a time in a month! Our computer and modem are newish, we're both tech-savvy, and we've done all the bogus "fixes" they've suggested. Don't waste your money or frustrate yourself by dealing with Earthlink.

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'

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.

I was a 25 year Earthlink customer I am a 25 year Earthlink customer. Recent password reset which they said "you might have been hacked". Vague, inconsistent advice and failure to fulfill my repeated requests to have Earthlink Security contact me. When I told the help that I would have to terminate my service after 25 years they said "sorry for your inconvenience. Addt'ly, download speeds uniformly much slower than I was paying for. Overall very shabby service for the high monthly rates paid.

Horrible! 5 days of service is ALL we got before running out of data! I paid for a month's service!!!! I specifically told the first moron (when I signed up) what exactly we use internet for (school, streaming tv & music)!!! What on God's green earth made the idiot think 5 days worth of data was enough, is beyond me!!! THEEEEN when I called to ask about it, they wanted me to either upgrade or add data!!! $130 later, here I am on the phone AGAIN trying to rectify the issue! I was refused even a partial refund, because "I've received the router & the internet did work" (for 5 whole days)! Their customer service (or lack thereof) is HORRIBLE & so is their internet service! It's one BIG SCAM! Do yourself a favor & run! Run away, as fast as you can!!!!
