How many more years will EarthLink survive?

At this point, I hope they don't die. They still employ hundreds of people who need those paychecks to take care of their families.

Months ago, I would be screaming "Die, EarthLink, Die!" as a former employee and customer of EarthLink's. Now the landscape has changed and I hope they make it through these tough times.

Fatmanskinny, last I heard there wasn't that many people left at HQ. You remember the noc at the old mindspring building? They fired most of the noc staff and outsourced that, they have outsourced just about everything they can.

AOL would be dead if not for the stupid that "can't lose my aol email addy" and "the Internet is AOL." People love AOL to keep for chatting.

Wait, how do outsource a NOC? I thought most of their systems are within the old NOC building down the street on Peachtree Street, no?

I know quite a few guys from the NOC are gone but I didn't know they just about completely dismantled it.

Yea most of the systems were at the old Mindspring building, a friend of mine that did some contract work for Earthlink told me that they outsourced it. They may have the equipment, but the actuall support people don't work for Earthlink. Don't ask me how or why.
