Until a actual invoice is seen, this story should be removed

There is no proof that the total bill will increase by $5.00 dollars or if there will be an itemized charge that shows $5.00 of the new billing going to the fee, but not actually increasing the original total since the email can be read two different ways.

I still believe in benefit of a doubt, until all the facts are actually in place. Otherwise it is speculation at best.

Doc, did you ever try getting a job with EarthLink? I remember a year or so ago when I saw you had posted some info on my service (at the time with EarthLink), it helped resolve my issue.

You seem to know quite a bit about the company and it's policies...more than a lot of the outsourcerers. Lol!

On another note, there will be a lot of hugs and tears come Friday as a lot of my pals are seeing their last day at The Link in Atlanta.

I wasn't really looking, so I never applied and they have never made any offers. I just read what they have available on their web site and in their Knowledge Base.

Yes, it will be a sad day when the last US employees are gone.

What are you rambling about? Think before you read makes ZERO sense.

Perhaps you should understand the issue before you post?

Transcript from a chat session with Earthlink billing.

Vernon N: Thank you for the account verification information. I was able to verify your account.
x.x@earthlink.net: Great.
Vernon N: I see that you have Norton services on the account and that is the reason you are being billed $5.95 per month.
x.x@earthlink.net: I never requested Norton. It just recently showed up. Sounds like some marketing gimmick.
Vernon N: I have inactivated the Norton service on the account as of today.
x.x@earthlink.net: Thank you. So I will be credited the charges of $4.17, and $5.95?
Vernon N: Let me check this information.
Vernon N: Ok, I have refunded $10.12 to your master card account. Please allow 7-10 business days for that refund to show up on your credit card statement. It takes a few days to process the refund on our end, then it will take a few days for the bank to put it through to your credit card.#PFR#/DUC/Gen/CreditCardRefunded
x.x@earthlink.net: Thank you. There is one more charge I am curious about. 10/26/07 Oct 26-Nov 25:+Ntwrk Acc Chg
x.x@earthlink.net: It is for $5.00. I have never been charged for this before. What is it?
Vernon N: I will let you know the NetWork access charge.
Vernon N: “EarthLink is charging a fee similar to the ones that local phone companies charge their customers. The purpose is to recover the costs associated with connecting customers to the telecommunications network.”
x.x@earthlink.net: So you're raising my rates by $5 to provide the same service as before?
Vernon N: Yes, you are correct.
x.x@earthlink.net: This is not what I signed up for. It was $xx.xx/month.
Vernon N: Yes, you have DSL + Home Phone services for $xx.xx per month. But we are charging for the Network access charge for all the customer's from September, 30th.
x.x@earthlink.net: Every month you will charge an additional $5 for "accessing the network"? This is permanent?
Vernon N: Yes, it is permanent.
x.x@earthlink.net: Well then I guess there isn't much I can do about it.

Except look for some other provider.

Old news. It was not a DSL Charge, but a Telephone Charge for access to the POTS network since it only was applied to DSL & Home Phone bundle customers. Regular DSL customers were not charged the extra fee.
