Hi Christy, Don't mean to butt in but I simply had to give an answer to your question to Milady. I use to have Earthlink and all I ever had with it was trouble. My computer ran slower then it ever did. I would never waist one penny on anything Earthlink had anything to do with. I have Charter now and have never been happier.
