This is the first issue I've had with them that wasn't easily resolved. None of the options they gave me except the proxy server (which is molasses-like) worked - they said they'd escalate to the engineers and that he thought it was on the Earthlink side of things (wow, you think?)
I'd consider switching to a cable-system, but I was able to come home a lot earlier last year because my phone (and therefore my DSL) was working a couple of weeks before my cable was working. I felt for the neighbors that have ALL their communication through Cox Cable. I can work from home if I can't work from the office only if I have a high-speed connection.
