Earthlink: Officially On Life Support

Here in the Atlanta area, there are several people that have or had Earthlink service, many of them are former Mindspring customers. Almost every person that I know that has Earthlink DSL service experienced problems. When trying to help out these poor souls, I was forced to speak to Earthlink's nonexistent tech support in India which was a complete waste of our time. Here is my post in the Earthlink forum and the responses from the Earthlink fan boys: »Why is Earthlink so incompetent?

My most memorable tech support call occurred when I was assisting a client with his slow DSL connection. His line was provisioned at 384kbps and Earthlink was charging him $60/month! The only English that the "tier 2 tech support specialist" knew was "reboot your computer" and "reset the modem". After repeating that process 10 times, we tried to convince him that it would not increase the speed. However, since he did not know English, every time that we said something, his response was, "I am sorry sir, can you please repeat the statement that you recently declared?"

Earthlink is just a sick puppy waiting for some company to buy it out and put it out of its misery. Let's hope it happens soon. Either way, Earthlink's days are numbered!

I agree with that statement, I worked for them years ago when they were simply just incredible. Then they hired a new director person who had no previous sales experience to direct the sales division at retail. She was smart but she didn't understand the dynamics of retail. Within 6 months everyone left. We realised it was a complete losing battle even through numerous tries to fix what we knew was wrong with the program but unaccepted by her and the rest of the corrupted upper management.

I had a customer who tried to cancel one time and the indian customer service rep was swearing at him in hindu. The customer happened to be Indian and told me everything.

Earthlink right now sours everything it touches. I have yet to see a shread of hope for thier possible rebuild of the company. The only way they could do that is to rebuild thier call centers here in the US and get that customer service they so desperately need.
