As noted below, I've cancelled this service quite some time ago... Shouldn't this review system have a way to mark a service as no longer in use ? Or does it ?
6/18/06 update
Finally cancelled my Earthlink Cable service. It was 99.99% rock-solid. In the time I had it, I could count the # of outages on one hand, which I think is very, very impressive. Speeds were almost always as rated. Occassionally there'd be a bad router somewhere local but they were typically fixed very quickly.
In the end, I cancelled for one reason: $$$$. They can keep raising their speeds, but I'll be damned if they'll lower their rates. They (sometimes Earthlink, sometimes TW) offer a discount or give you a promotional rate that new customers get, but I forgot when my last discount ran out and my rate jumped to $41.95/month, so I called.... They wouldn't budge (after 5+ years with Mindspring (DSL) or Earthlink for cable internet) so I explored my options .... and went elsewhere.

After 3 years of good, ole "Mindspring MAX DSL", I'm switching to Earthlink Cable. In my area, it's provided by Time Warner's RR system: 3000k download, 384k upload (talk of going up to 512k), *no* contract, lower monthly cost, and so on...
Install is scheduled in a few days.... I called Time Warner directly, as suggested by the EL sales rep, and they were friendly and helpful (I was not expecting that).
