~Evan S.'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.
~Evan S.: When I called to cancel my premium email service, I spent ** minutes getting bounced around different departments, including long wait times on the "priority" phone number they gave me. Ironically, they kept trying to upsell me to different services, even as I got angrier and demanded immediate cancellation. Earthlink was a good company back in the dot-com days, but they have since sunk into the abyss.
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?
~Evan S.: I'd give them a four 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?
~Evan S.: I'd give them a five out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about Earthlink's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~Evan S.: For that I would say two out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other Earthlink customers?
~Evan S.: 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 ~Evan S. taken from his Earthlink customer service problem that occurred on November 2nd, 2017.
