Beware of promises made by high speed internet access companies.
I asked Earthlink for an ADSL high-speed internet connection. To cut a long and frustrating story short, the job dragged on for weeks. No satisfactory answer was given to me as to who would be paying for the enormous amount of extra work needed to run a new data line to my apartment...

Not one person has called me and given me an updat...
