The pricing for EarthLink’s internet service varies. EarthLink DSL internet is usually costlier than cable or even fiber when you look at the price per Mbps. The same is true for EarthLink DSL versus EarthLink HyperLink pricing. EarthLink DSL pricing starts at $49.95 per month for download speeds up to 18 Mbps.
| Plan Name | Download Speed | Starting Price | Data Caps |
|---|---|---|---|
| EarthLink DSL | Up to 18 Mbps | $49.95 per month | Unlimited data |
| EarthLink HyperLink (fiber) | Up to 1 Gbps | $49.95 per month | Unlimited data |
| EarthLink Wireless Home Internet | Up to 100 Mbps | $64.95 per month | Up to 150 GB |
Most fiber internet providers begin their offers at least up to 100 Mbps, but EarthLink HyperLink offers a 50 Mbps plan to start. This offering opens up fiber to customers who may not need the fastest download speeds but want better upload speeds.
When compared to other fiber providers, HyperLink is neither the most expensive nor the cheapest. However, when compared to other widely available internet types, such as cable, DSL, or satellite internet, HyperLink can give customers a significant discount per Mbps.

EarthLink Internet Speeds
For EarthLink customers, DSL is widely available as it was historically their main internet connection type. It can be expensive and can take a while to roll out fiber networks to individual homes. If EarthLink doesn’t yet offer fiber in your area, it should be just a matter of time. In fact, EarthLink piggybacks AT&T’s DSL and fiber network, meaning they offer the same speeds as AT&T.
EarthLink also offers a 5G fixed wireless internet solution called EarthLink Wireless Home Internet. As another option for customers with limited options, this technology operates via signals from cell towers located closest to your home. Whether your network will use 5G or 4G depends on what’s available in your area. Plans work on a data limit basis instead of by speed. Subscribers can choose data plans varying from 50 to 150 GB per month, starting at $64.95 per month.
First announced in 2016, “HyperLink” is the branded name of EarthLink’s current fiber internet plans. EarthLink HyperLink offers download and upload speeds up to 1 Gbps, while EarthLink’s DSL plans reach up to 15 Mbps download speeds.
