Yup, it's not just you. The Earthlink forum at dslreports.com
confirms this is happening to multiple people.


The last time it happened, they refused to admit it. Then they
wanted remote access to my computers to 'change a few settings' even
though it died in the middle of downloading a message. I asked
several
times to be kicked up to a higher level of support, and the heavy
Indian
accent just got worse.

It started working again around 4:00 PM for me.

I have Giganews for $5/mo or something like that and I haven't had a
single burp in a year.


Earthlink has a Giganews corporate account, and uses their own
authentication servers. They laid off the only employee that knew
anything about how they work.
