01
Address
Use the complete property details so the service discussion starts at the right location.
Call (888) 664-1808Network-dependent service
Compare EarthLink by address and network
EarthLink can depend on the network serving the location. Check the exact address, access technology, installation path, equipment setup, and ongoing terms before treating one advertised offer as the whole picture.
Provider identity + local network
Start with the network behind the name
EarthLink comparisons become clearer when the access technology is confirmed before plan details are compared. That local network layer influences installation, equipment, support expectations, and the way service behaves at the address.
Use the provider name as the starting point, then move to the exact location, the network path at that property, and the monthly terms tied to the final order.

Follow the setup path
Trace the service from network to room use
Provider availability is only the first step. The handoff into the home, the gateway or modem arrangement, and the rooms that depend on stronger Wi-Fi all shape the experience after service goes live.
Access handoff
Ask where the service reaches the property and what type of connection arrives there.
Gateway setup
Review the modem, gateway, or router arrangement and who supplies the hardware.
Coverage plan
Flag the rooms that matter most so in-home reach is judged separately from address availability.
Setup before activation
Prepare the install around the property
Installation questions are easier to answer when the property details are already organized. Keep access points, wiring conditions, gateway placement, and any building rules in the same conversation.
Property access
Check whether the installer needs access to a utility area, wall point, or equipment space.
Wiring path
Clarify whether existing wiring works or whether extra setup steps may be required.
Wi-Fi reach
Keep the busiest rooms in mind so placement decisions support actual daily use.
Household fit
Judge the service around real routines
Households rarely use the internet one activity at a time. Compare EarthLink around the overlap between work, streaming, gaming, uploads, and always-on devices so the comparison stays practical.
Use the busiest room and the busiest time of day as the stress test. That makes it easier to separate a plan limitation from a Wi-Fi coverage issue inside the home.
Video calls
Include the rooms and times where stable calls matter most.
Call (888) 664-1808Streaming
Count TVs, streaming sticks, and entertainment devices running together.
Call (888) 664-1808Cloud traffic

Call (888) 664-1808Connected home
Factor in cameras, hubs, speakers, and other background-connected devices.
Call (888) 664-1808Keep the terms visible
Review monthly details as one decision
A plan can sound simple until equipment charges, installation terms, data rules, and standard monthly pricing are split across different steps. Pull them back together before ordering.
Call (888) 664-1808Availability
Confirm the exact address still qualifies for the offer under discussion.
Equipment
Ask which EarthLink-related hardware is supplied, rented, optional, or provided through the underlying access network.
Installation
Clarify technician access, setup timing, and any one-time charges.
Billing terms
Ask when promotional pricing ends and what recurring costs continue after that.

EarthLink home internet is offered through different access technologies, so the right service card depends heavily on the exact address.

(888) 664-1808EarthLink questions
Clarify these before ordering
No. Availability, network technology, installation details, equipment, and final terms can differ by service location.
Ask what network reaches the property, what hardware is required, whether self-install is available, and where the gateway should live inside the home.
No. Final availability, pricing, equipment, installation, and service terms are determined by EarthLink or the applicable provider for the address.
