EarthLink Internet Deals and Promotions

EarthLink Internet-Only Deals

Typically, EarthLink’s best deals are already included in each plan. For example, most internet providers advertise plans with promotional pricing that increases by $10-$30 per month after the promotional period. EarthLink makes it easier to budget long-term since they advertise their normal rate.

EarthLink Internet Fees

Before committing to a plan, you should thoroughly review your contract, paying close attention to both avoidable and mandatory fees. EarthLink’s plans include the following unavoidable fees:

• Installation fee: EarthLink internet requires professional installation that costs $39.95 for fiber plans. Right now, EarthLink is waiving this fee for EarthLink Fiber internet customers. DSL customers can opt for a self-installation kit for $19.95.
• Processing & handling fee: EarthLink does charge a processing and handling fee of $79.95 when you purchase Wireless Home Internet.
• Modem rental fee: EarthLink’s modem rental fee costs $12.95 per month ($14.95 per month for EarthLink Wireless Home internet). You can avoid these fees by purchasing your own modem. However, be sure it’s compatible with your plan before you buy.
