EarthLink

From TheBestLinks.com

(Redirected from Earthlink)

EarthLink, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, is one of the major internet service providers in the United States with 5.4 million members (2004 estimate).

It was first founded in 1994 by Sky Daton. From a modest beginning of 10 modems, the company has grown to include over 2,000 POP numbers in the US and over 40 internationally.

On February 4, 2000, the company (then based in Pasadena, California) merged with Atlanta-founded MindSpring, making them the second-largest ISP in the U.S., second only to AOL.

EarthLink provides a variety of internet connection types including: DSL, satellite, cable, and broadband over power lines. It is one of the industry leaders in the crusade to rid the world of spam as well as spyware. EarthLink takes an almost laid-back approch to the Internet, allowing its users as much freedom and personal configuration as possible. Although it does provide its users with its own software (Total Access), it doesn't require its use (unlike AOL).
