So today I'm going through the painful process of switching to Earthlink<\/a><\/strong>. I currently have Time Warner Road Runner<\/a><\/strong> but at $50\/month, it's way too expensive, especially since Earthlink<\/a><\/strong> offers a slower-speed (768 kbps) service for $30\/month.<\/p>\n

So I signed up for Earthlink<\/a><\/strong>. I got a call for an installation and was told to disconnect Time Warner Road Runner<\/a><\/strong> by returning the modem. Okay … so I did that. I called the installation number back again and was told that my account was active until the 28th. O-kay … So I called Time Warner Road Runner<\/a><\/strong> back and they said it was already disconnected. Further, they — all of a sudden — offer a $25\/month service for the same speed as Earthlink. O-fucking-kay … I wish they bothered to have that as an option on their website. Then again, Time Warner<\/strong> is such a slimebag company, I would rather spend $5 more a month than deal with them. As if I can actually not<\/em> deal with them because they provide the cable. I called the installer back and they said the system takes 24 hours to update so I'll have to schedule an installation tomorrow. Fucking great!<\/p>\n

Thank goodness I was smart enough to sign up for Budget Dial-Up<\/a><\/strong> so I can actually still get to the Internet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
