Chuck Optimum

We have two people in the home working remotely. Our 400 Mbps plan is $82/mo. and we routinely test it at around 310 Mbps to 390 Mbps, which is perfect. No lag or other issues. We rarely have outages or equipment issues, but when I do need to call, Optimum’s customer service is very responsive.

5/5

Anonymous EarthLink
2/18/24

EarthLink has decent Internet but what I don’t like is that they didn’t explain fully what their plans were. I mistakenly signed up for the essential plan, only 100 GB. It was used up in less than 10 days. I called Customer Service and was told that I could buy more GB, they also told me I could switch to a plan for 250 GB which I agreed to do. They also told me about their “unlimited” plan that had 300 GB. Why is there a plan that is unlimited with a cap on it. I was told that if I used all the GB that I would be able to buy more but if I didn’t, I would lose Internet service until it renewed again at beginning of next billing cycle…WHAT??? How is that unlimited???

Robert EarthLink

Minimum hour wait to talk to any curtomer service. Claimed I would get 30 Mbps download and I got .002 basically unusable. Customer Service would keep saying but you are showing a stable connection when I called repeatedly to complain.
