Re: Monthly Price and Speed
Ok so you have the new bundle.......but what modem is giving you that great speed and did you have any problems getting it or did it just happen from the time your new service was turned on |

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??? |
