I pay $20/month for AT&T wireless DSL. It's fast enough for me but I don't need an ultra fast connection. And when they raised my rates to $25/month I complained and told them I was going to cancell all together. They lowered it back to $20/year for the next year. I couldn't ever fathom the idea of paying $40-$50 for internet a month. Hmm. I pay $20/month for AT&T wireless DSL. It’s fast enough for me but I don’t need an ultra fast connection.

I'd rather have a slower internet connection and have good service than the cr*p earthlink is pushing. I quite earthlink because of the impossibility to reach a live person to report a problem.

Nine months and about 30 calls to get one small matter resolved, that they escalated to a point of no return (when they screwed it up to begin with). The inefficiency is beyond comprehension. We are currently evaluating on who to switch to. Earthlink has the worst customer service I have ever experienced.

Really, this seems like an option for people who hate TW. As for Garden Grove, that's Time Warner territory but it's not mentioned. Let me check. -- Gadgetress It’s actually about the same price as Time Warner (I pay around $50/month for extreme Road Runner) but so much slower.

And since it is earthlink, I am sure they are going to get a lot of takers. HA! It costs more than Time Warner Roadrunner. And since it is earthlink, I am sure they are going to get a lot of takers.

The rate for basic cable doubled with no improvement in quality or selection so I quit. Slime Warner took over Paragon in GG.
