Here is my letter on a Social Earth-link site (It explains ALL but the four more hours spent talking with lying reps, chatting with a non-caring rep, getting hung up on and being put on indefinite hold since it was written): Are you all think getting overcharged is...

Fraud

I am filing a fraud complaint. I was coming down sick with Covid, 2 months ago, and could not leave home to put cash on my debit card. When I finally got help to take care of that bill, all was fine. MY ILLNESS GOT WORSE AND WAS HOSPITALIZED. They discontinued my service. I called when I got home today I called, and they immediately charged my card $58.00 then refused to turn on service unless I pay another $200.00. I have been on the phone for over 40 minutes on hold as I am typing this. to take $58 under the guise of saying your service will be connected then turn around and say I owe a $200 disconnection fee, before I can have service is fraud.

User's recommendation: be careful.

My service restored, since they took payment. If there was a dispute, tell me before they charged my card.

They charged me $326.86 for wifi only and turned it off in 2 weeks. I am pissed and I need to speak to a *** human!!!!!

I WAS CHARGED $326.86 for wifi only and it was turned off in 2 weeks! I WANT TO TALK TO A HUMAN I AM PISSED!!!! I want to know WHERE IS MY *** MONEY, OR WHY IS MY WIFI TURNED OFF! I was told 59.99 a month plus $10 for equipment and 149.00$ for installation. That doesnt total that and if it did why is my *** wifi cut off?

User's recommendation: DONT DO IT THEY SUCK!!!

Unreliable Service

1.0
Do not go near this company. My DSL line will be up for a few minutes, then down for a few minutes. Then, it will limp along for a while, at speeds you would expect from an old dial-up modem. Then it might be normal for a while. Or not. The problems started when I cancelled my fixed IP, which I no longer needed, to save money. So it certainly looks like its deliberate retaliation. And they don't seem at all interested in fixing the problem.

User's recommendation: Do not go near this company.

Earthlink DSL

1.1
I've had a DSL connection for about 20 years, and the speed has been quite consistent. About a month ago, I cancelled my fixed IP and went with DHCP. Not, at random intervals, my speed drops down to close to zero. Less than dial-up modem speeds. The problem is at Earthlink's end and they don;t seem interested in fixing it.

User's recommendation: Do not deal with this company. Run in the opposite direction.

Disconnection of servicd

2.5
Please disconnect internet service and refund all amounts due to cancellation during new customer grace period. Your sales person told me your service would provide coverage to allow access to amazon movies. He lied. I am unable to receive amazon movies due to slow internet response.

User's recommendation: Be sure of objectives and confirm service satisfaction before paying money to earthlink.

Earthlink is all a Scam

1.1
So I told them I was looking for a good Bandwidth to work from home. They referred 12gb. So I say "Okay let get that." Paid the installation fee, they came out, set it up. Every day, II would get online to work and every 3minuteses I would lose service. I called earth link and told them they owe me my installation fee back. They sold me services that were not close to meeting my needs. Then they said i cant get a refund.This

User's recommendation: This not the way to go.

Poor tech support

1.0
I was scheduled to have internet installed today. Waited three weeks for this appointment. The tech did call me in the morning to let me know there would be an extra charge as they had to install somthing. I told him was aware of the charge and would pay it.Well guess what no tech. I am also unable to get answers as to why. This is not acceptable no call no help with texting or phoning for help. Do you think you could please email me back with answers juanitaruthsmith@***.com or call 319572****. also unable to get asnswers as to why

Emergency

2.2
My internet was turned off only 11 days late. I'm on a fixed income . I'm disabled waiting a kidney transplant. I use my internet and computer to stay in contact with st Luke's. This is morally wrong that because I'm on a fixed income that this discrimination is risking my health and life. The business practices of this company is evil. To put my well-being at risk for $79 dollars not even 3 weeks late. And the refusing to help. I'm told executive escalation team will contact me I'm still waiting every minute is a chance I lose a chance for transplant.

Your medical history is irrelevant. They're not a non profit, pay your bill BEFORE the due date to avoid this.
