Someone at ATT had it against me.
It's a gargantuan company and smaller, friendlier companies won my monthly money, but it's an old memory that comes up every once in a while.
Now that ATT owns everything everywhere (cable, satellite, DSL)
I got real curious what else exists.
Earthlink used to be a dial-up service that advertised by mail.
They might use ATT lines, I wouldn't know.
But I do know they advertise up to 5Gbps internet.
It all sounds nice until you factor in possible installation costs and deposits.
My current internet is 500-900Mbps, 76-110Mbps-upload.
All from an oversized transistor radio.
I just wondered.
I might edit in rates, or erase this.

They forgot to mention that "Windstream" owned Earthlink before,
and dumped it, like some aging whore. Trive Capital might (I'm guessing) sell Earthlink (to, guess who?) but no one said that.
They also did not say why Earthlink sold itself, was it poor?

Anyway....
I would not sign up before knowing how much it costs.
And that's the ONE thing their website leaves out: the price.
But Google says it would be 75-100 a month, @1Gbps,
and I don't quite get that but I pay half as much.
Taxes and Fees extra
Taxes, Fees, AND 14.95 a month
The greatest thing about T-Mobile is, if you move or get evicted (fire, flood, remodeling)
you can take your modem with you, no paperwork or fancy visits from technicians.

Earthlink has that Too! For $10 more, plus tax and fees.
O, and a modem-charge.

I don't like my T-Mobile speed looking like a very wavy line, but other than that, I like it.
And I don't know anyone with earthlink, but then, I don't know anybody anymore.
The TLDR is, nevermind.
