Why choose EarthLink?

EarthLink offers satellite, fiber and 5G internet across the country. The internet service provider operates a bit differently than other providers. Instead of owning its own networks, it rents wired and wireless networks from providers like AT&T, CenturyLink, Frontier, T-Mobile and Viasat to deliver internet service to its customers. Because of this, EarthLink’s internet service is widely available across the U.S. since it uses multiple service footprints.

Before you shop, here’s a quick breakdown of Allconnect’s EarthLink recommendations:
Light to moderate internet users: Choose Earthlink’s 100 Mbps plan
Heavy internet users or larger homes with 5+ people: Choose a gig plan from 1,000 to 5,000 Mbps

Allconnect’s expert tip

Consider EarthLink fiber if it’s available where you live because for competitive pricing, you can get up to 5,000 Mbps, depending on your address.
