EarthLink Internet review 2025: Top plans and offers
EarthLink may be a familiar name if you remember the early days of the internet. But don't think of it as a nostalgia play. Today, it's an internet service provider (ISP) with plenty of reach and service options. But how does it stack up, and how can you tell which of its plans is best for your household's needs? Offered in every state but Alaska and Hawaii, EarthLink mainly offers both fiber and 5G wireless plans. And if you can't find a plan directly through Earthlink, the provider will connect you with an internet provider partner to make sure you can get the service you need. Earthlink has options for rural and urban areas and a 12-month price guarantee with most plans. Here's a closer look at EarthLink — what it offers, how much it costs and how it compares with other providers. What internet services does EarthLink offer? EarthLink offers fiber, satellite and 5G internet plans. If you cannot find a plan directly through EarthLink, the ISP will connect you with a partner.

Who fits this plan: People with homes in rural or remote areas who want Wi-Fi up to 100 Mbps. This plan may be right for you if your location can't be reached with cable or fiber options. Who does not fit this plan: Equipment costs and data limitations are some satellite internet features that may be limiting for certain customers. EarthLink Wireless uses 4G LTE and 5G (where available). The plan provides up to 25 Mbps and comes in 100 GB, 375 GB or unlimited data options.
