<title>[Speed Problem] Earthlink DSL speed slows to a crawl when adding</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28322863</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have had Earthlink for about eight years now and have have used a wireless router (LinkSys WRT54G) for about seven.  When I first started using the wireless router, they weren't even charging for "home networking" yet, therefore I have never paid them their $8/month.  Two weeks ago I noticed that my download/upload speed was ridiculously slow on all my devises, so I updated the router's firmware--no change!  So I figured maybe it was time for a new one, so I bought a Linksys EA6300 and updated the firmware and the speed is not steady.

Also, last year I had an issue with my netopia modem where if the cord wasn't in just so, the internet would go out so they sent me a Zyxel.  I couldn't get the Zyxel to work with my wireless router (I recently tried putting it into "bridge mode" now its a brick--I followed all of the directions on this website) so I'm back to using the netopia.

For example, I pay for 6mbps up/.4 mbps down.  If the modem is hooked up right to the desktop computer, I get that speed. As I type this, I am using the desktop and the modem is hooked up through the router.  Per a speakeasy speed test, I am getting .31 mbps down and .03 mbps up.  Sometimes I do get the advertised speed, even wireless on my Mac Book Pro, but most times its slow.  I have been combing the internet for the last two weeks on how to fix this problem.

Here's what I'm wondering (and this is going to sound paranoid!): Is Earthlink on to me?  Have they finally figured out that I don't pay their ridiculous $8 extortion fee so they have done something to slow the speed down when using a router all of a sudden?  Has anyone heard of this happening?  I feel like I've tried everything else.]]></description>

<title>Intermittently can&#x27;t find server</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28379376</link>
<description><![CDATA[My wife has Earthlink DSL with a ZyXel  Prestige 600 series modem where she works. For the last week she gets a "Can't find server" intermittently when she clicks on a link. She may have to click the link 3 or 4 times before a site loads. She says the modem lights are the same whether a site loads or not. I thought I'd post here before going through the pain of calling Earthlink support. Her computer is Windows 7 - 64 bit.

Thanks,
Len]]></description>

<title>[Line Problem] Terrible technically, Terrible service</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28384087</link>
<description><![CDATA[Long ago, they were great - now the foreign support just reads their pre-scripted dialog and refuses to help. Heaven help you if there's any true issues with your line.

Sad failure for a once great giant.

Buyer beware for Earthlink !]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[how to troubleshoot speed problem?
I have DSL 3.0 and intermittently my access speed drops to a crawl.
I have done a bunch of speed tests trying to see what is going on. the lowest I get is .1 while the highest is 3.05.

How can I determine where the problem is ?

This is what I have so far;

<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28356115</link>
<description><![CDATA[I need to cancel my Earthlink Service.
I am having a terrible time getting the other members of my family to transfer their email to another service (like gmail).  
Can I just maintain email only with Earthlink for a short time until they switch are their friends to use a new email address?]]></description>
