rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author businesssavvy - Found out that they had been charging us more than their new customers and double what their competitors charge for the same speed and service. Called to see if they'd be competitive and they declined. Canceling...

Mon, 17 Jan 2005 12:35:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author hoai2k - I had Earthlink service a couple years ago, and when I cancelled it, they kept charging my credit card beyond the end of my term, were very unresponsive, etc, for a few months. I think I ended up giving up and letting them take my $30 or whatever, with...

Mindspring: The "Boeing 727" of dial up ISP's

Tue, 30 Oct 2001 06:24:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author agingpeacock - The Boeing 727 is one of the safest most reliable commercial jet airliners still flying! With almost 40 years of superlative service; but, compared with today’s aircraft, it seems boring and has not been updated.

What’s this have to do with...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author manatee96 - When I received a computer as a gift four years ago, I started checking out ISP's. I found out that there were only two ISP's that provided internet access in my area and had local dial up numbers. One was the local phone company whose service is...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MizJezebel - When I signed on as a Mindspring customer three years ago, they were still Mindspring and not yet bought out by Earthlink.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author spidergrrl - After a search through Netcom, AOL, Bellsouth.net, and a web appliance, I was ready to explode. I had seen the commercials for MindSpring and figured, "What the heck?" So, I cancelled Netcom and signed up with MindSpring. The installation was...

Mindspring: Used to be good -- but not anymore

Wed, 20 Jun 2001 17:54:19 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author edbikerii - I also used Mindspring for several years before they merged with Earthlink. I never had problems, always got fast, reliable connections with no busy signals, etc.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bsack - I'm MindSpring's 17th customer. I've been there since the beginning (1994, I believe). I've been there since the days when CEO, Customer Service, Sales & Tech Support was all handled by Charles Brewer. I'd call, he'd answer on the second ring, and run...

Mindspring: Mindspring is a good, not great ISP

Fri, 25 May 2001 09:31:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author swanlips - Now owned by Earthlink, Mindspring is a straightforward ISP, with all that entails: @$20/month, subject to lags, but easy to use and good enough if you can't get/don't need/don't want to pay for DSL or cable.

I have used them for about 2...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author noladown - I have been a Mindspring customer for about 2 years and I could count the number of times it has booted me off on one hand. I never ever get kicked off!!! I travel a lot and it seems like Mindspring always has a local number for me. If I ever have a...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mrssachs -

I recently left Mindspring because my husband convinced me we were getting poor customer service and now we both really regret it. I’d been using it for years without many problems. I could almost always get on and never got a busy signal. The...

Mindspring: !!* Better than AOL worse than Broadband

Sun, 15 Apr 2001 22:33:27 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bjxray - Mindspring internet access (I believe Earthlink now) has been a mainstream ISP for quite some time. Very popular amongst the population which probably is why the problems that occur....uhm occur.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - In 1996 I was working at my very first job out of college as a systems analyst/network admin for a small city government agency. A couple of the "higher ups" wanted internet access so we got some modems and the only ISP with a local number.....

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mysschel - Many of our questions are how to pick an internet provider that's right for you. Well I have looked into quite a few of them, and Mindspring sounded like an awesome deal. They were willing to give me a month free, and if anyone I knew signed up for...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Steve_NC - I've been with MindSpring since 1996 and though I've been tempted by some of the "free" and reduced-cost ISPs, I'm sticking with MS for the foreseeable future. Their service has always been reliable and their tech help friendly, knowledgeable...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author JimmyC1 - This review will start out a little different from most Mindspring reviews. I didn’t sign up with Mindspring at all. I traveled a lot and about 2 ½ years ago, I needed an ISP that had access in remote areas. After a lot of research on the internet...
