I had Earthlink's wi-fi service for a little less than a month. I ended up going back to a cable modem after repeated outages, sluggish service, and poor signal quality. I believe this was due to a couple things (my apartment is completely surrounded by trees and the service was fairly new so there were probably very few outdoor routers up sending a signal). I am sure the signal issue is something that has since improved.
Unfortunately, my experience with Earthlink AFTER cancelling their service has been very poor due to their questionable billing practices. After erroneously billing me $69.95, a month after my service was cancelled, Earthlink has given me the runaround and yet to process a refund. I wish you luck, but due to my recent experience, I wouldn't recommend the switch. It's not quite worth the aggravation for the lower monthly price. -M --- Joe Clarke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey Tech Heads, > What do you think of Earthlink's offer to go > completely wireless > eliminating the need for DSL & in-house Router? > Another selling point > would be > the capability of accessing the signal anywhere in > the city.
