~mfsob's review of Earthlink customer service

GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's Earthlink customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~mfsob: I would not pee on one of their reps if his heart was on fire. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh, but ... when I pay for a service, and something goes wrong, I expect competent help. Not being transferred multiple times* having to phonetically spell my name, address, e-mail, etc., over and over and over* not having to go through the exact same steps with ever rep, which does not advance the solution towards resolution ... you get the idea.
GetHuman: Let's quantify your experience contacting Earthlink. On a scale of 1 to 5, how easy is it go get help on a Earthlink problem?
~mfsob: I'd give them a one out of five for ease of finding your way to help.
GetHuman: What about quality of communication. How would you rate that on a 1 to 5 scale?
~mfsob: I'd give them a two out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about Earthlink's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~mfsob: For that I would say three out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other Earthlink customers?
~mfsob: Call them early in the day or late. Don't forget any personal or account information you might need for Earthlink to know who you are.
GetHuman: Well there you have it. Some useful feedback and words from ~mfsob taken from his Earthlink customer service problem that occurred on October 27th, 2017.
