Just want to see an update.
What is everyone paying and what speed do you have?
I am paying $24.95/month for 3.0 MBps (About 2.4 actual)
Ever since I bought a 100 foot phone line and connect it to my modem my connection is very solid. Maybe 1-2 disconnections in the last..9 months or so? |

I am in Santa Clara and recently upgraded to 3M for $34. So far the best download i have got is 1.7M so i am working to see what i can do to get closer to 2.5M which is what i expected. My modem is the spreedstream 5260 which i have had since 1999 so i am wondering if i need a new modem. |

I would a basic troubleshooting on your connection, if that doesn't work, get a newer modem. EarthLink will pitch a fit when you tell them you have a 5260, they will say " support your modem, we do not, new modem you need." |

I have the ZyXEL P-660R. Its an ADSL2 capable modem. I am about 4,000 feet from the CO. I've had the service from the beginning which is almost a year now. I just wouldn't recommend porting your number over to Earthlink because of horror stories where it takes about a month to port over. And that's a month without dial tone. So far service has been great.

HA-HA your indo-yoda speak cracked me up
Based on all the help here dont think i will blame the modem and spend shipping costs on a new one from Yoda.
Unsure what line conditioning stuff i can do to get my speed up to within 75% of the nominal 3M. Any tips??? |

I'm paying $32.95 a month for 6.0/768 (actually 5.1/650)through Covad. And no contract. I'm month to month. Considering Verizon offers 3.0 service for $30 a month around this area, I can't complain. |

Fortunately, I live within a 1/2 mile of my CO and have good, clean line. My speed is great and I have not had any problems with Earthlink worth mentioning in the last year.

Telephone with unlimited L/D $52.00
DSL 1.5 service $34.95
--------- -
Subtotal $86.95
$80.00 to $90.00 versus the $50.00 you are paying is not a bad deal at all. It is quite the opposite of being raped.

| Nope. What I need is the winning Lotto numbers as a single winner when the Jackpot to a single winner is over 20 Million. Now that is something I really need. Otherwise, everything else beside the true need for food, air and water is really a want.
