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 is also providing a 30-day free trial with its suite of internet security services, including EarthLink Protect+, EarthLink Protect, and EarthLink Guardian. These services offer Advanced Norton Device Security, VPN services, Dark Web monitoring, LifeLock Identity alerts, and parental controls powered by Bark. New customers can also get EarthLink Online Backup and Earthlink EasyTech remote IT support free for 30 days.

EarthLink now offers Wireless Home internet plans, including the 100 GB Essentials plan, the 375 GB Consumer Max plan and the Work from Home Unlimited plan. You can choose the size that fits your data usage and budget best. EarthLink Wireless Home Internet starts at just $49.95 per month for new customers.

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 $24.95 for fiber plans. If you’re a DSL customer, you can expect to pay $64.95.
• 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 $14.95 per month — no matter which technology you choose. You can avoid these fees by purchasing your own modem. However, be sure it’s compatible with your plan before you buy.

How to Get the Best Deal With EarthLink Internet

Follow these suggestions for a fast way to lower your overall bill with EarthLink:

• Purchase your own equipment. Avoid EarthLink’s high equipment rental fee and save up to $120 per year by purchasing and installing your own equipment.
• Choose the internet speed you need. Purchasing the internet speed that’s most appropriate for your household will save money on speed you don’t need.
• Self-install your internet. Professional installation from EarthLink can be pricey, so sidestep that cost by self-installing your internet.
