Earthlink disconnected our phone service and told us it would take 24 hours to connect us again. However for an entire MONTH they failed to connect us!! We called them every day and asked why our phone wasn't working, and they kept on telling us our case had been escalated to the "highest priority". There is absolutely no accountability because they refuse to give out names when you call. Despite their promises, we were without a phone for 1 month. Finally, when we switched back to Verizon, Earthlink charged us $170 for no apparent reason and refuses to refund that money.
Description of Work: We had used Earthlink as an internet provider for two years, but they offered us a great deal to switch our phone service to them as well. We decided to try to save some money and switched from Verizon to Earthlink. Bad idea!

I was pleased, no major problems. It's slow at times but really--it's dial up, I mean what can you expect. But I didn't loose the connection that often and since it was for my leisure, I found it adequate for the price.
Description of Work: The cost is monthly. I used their lower end model, PeoplePC, had dial up service.
