EarthLink Internet: Complete Guide
Updated September 2026 · By the Internet Cable TV Offers team

Who owns EarthLink?
EarthLink is a privately held internet provider headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, and owned by Trive Capital. One of the original internet service providers from the 1990s, EarthLink today partners with major networks such as AT&T, Lumen and Verizon to deliver fiber and other connections under the EarthLink brand, which is why it's available in so many parts of the country.
EarthLink has continued to invest in customer support, including a new customer service center in Norton, Virginia, reinforcing its focus on U.S.-based help.
EarthLink vs. buying fiber directly from the network owner
Because EarthLink uses partner fiber networks, the physical connection is often the same fiber line a larger carrier would use. What changes is the service: EarthLink offers its own pricing, 12-month price terms, privacy commitments and support. For shoppers who value privacy or want an alternative to a big carrier, that can make EarthLink the better fit.
Is EarthLink good for streaming and gaming?
EarthLink Fiber is well suited to streaming and gaming, with unlimited data and fiber's low latency. The 300 Mbps plan handles multiplayer gaming and 4K streaming, while 500 Mbps and 1 Gig suit larger households with more simultaneous users.
How to get the best EarthLink deal
Make the most of your EarthLink plan:
- Choose the fiber tier that matches your household size
- Note that promotional pricing lasts 12 months
- Ask about router rental versus using your own compatible router
- Add security and tech-support extras only if you need them
Who should choose EarthLink?
EarthLink is a great choice for privacy-conscious households and for anyone who wants a trusted ISP with U.S.-based support. Because it operates across multiple networks, it's also worth checking if your address has limited provider options.
EarthLink customer support
EarthLink provides 24/7 support online, by chat and by phone, plus an app for managing your account on the go. Complimentary services include multiple email addresses, virus and spam filtering and a customizable homepage.
