      I have tried to cancel this service for two days but they just hang up on me. I live in an area that is difficult to get internet service from any company. I simply wanted to cancel my service with EarthLink because I was able to work something else out. But they will not allow me to cancel. I havent even received the modem yet from them and they wont let me cancel. Its like as soon as you say cancel they hang up. They only want to take your money and nothing else.

      They issued a shutdown command to my router after a week of service and I have been trying to get it working ever since. I spoke to a rather disinterested tech who assured me that they would "make it right" by giving me discounted internet for a year, then they tried to charge the standard amount to my card. They scammed me out of a month's internet fees and the worst part is their customer service. You will spend between 2 to 3 hours on hold listening to their hold music waiting for one of two techs to assist you. Don't worry, neither one will actually help. ****, chances are they will drop the call in the middle of disappointing you, I would not recommend them for anything.
