Internet connections are like cars: most people need one, but the kind that fits them best depends on the individual. Find out what kind of internet is best for you with this quick breakdown:
Do you want solutions that are universal, easy, inexpensive and reliable? If so, dial-up internet could be a good choice for you. It’s not the fastest internet connection available (though EarthLink provides a free dial-up accelerator that lets you surf up to 7x faster than regular 56K dial-up), but it can be installed into any home anywhere in America (as long as they have a phone line). And it’s cheap; with prices as low as $9.95/mo for the first three months, dial-up is the standard in easy, reliable internet access.
Are you online a lot to check your social media profiles or watch videos? Do you need a reliable connection, but require more speed than dial-up? DSL internet would be a good choice for you if you answered “yes” to these questions. With speeds up to 100x faster than dial-up access, DSL is perfect for people who spend a lot of time online. And with low pricing like $14.95/mo for the first three months, it’s a great value too!
If you like to spend a lot of time downloading from and uploading to the internet, as well as other activities (stream movies, play in-depth online games), then you may be happiest with a cable internet connection. Though offers do vary by location, cable internet can start at only $29.95/mo, and can be up to 250x faster than dial-up access. It’s the perfect solution for those who feel the need for internet speed.
Finally, if you live in a rural area that does not have access to cable or DSL, but would like more speed than dial-up access can provide, EarthLink offers satellite internet to make sure your needs get met.
With all these internet options, there’s certainly something for everyone!


I’d prefer the satellite Internet connection, as it provides high-speed Internet with need for any cables, modems, or special devices… Above all, it can accessed from any location…
Cable internet is my choice. The traditional way of using Internet is still very popular all over the world.
I realize Cable connection is what I need! Good thing I made the right decision to get a Cable con!
