At lot will depend on who your first mile provider is, and how well they service your local area.
If you currently have RoadRunner or Comcast Cable internet and your service currently sucks, then Earthlink probably won't be much better.
However if RR or CC runs great, you get great speeds and latency then Earthlink will run just the same. Just at a better price 
Edit to add:
I just read the part you a VZ DSL customer. Well ask your neighbors, that MAY be a good guage. |

I hate you for not be grateful to have FIOS, but earthlink will probably be good--if you don't like it you don't have to wait 6 months to cancel. |

That said, Earthlink doesn't run a cable network. It's just rebranded local cable service. so, if you live in TWC territory, you'll have RR service (with an earthlink IP.) etc. etc. The only difference is the value-added services (email, webhosting, etc.) are through Earthlink. The network, and your bill, are 100% TWC. |
