EarthLink Business
In our FCC broadband index, the provider name appears as EarthLink Business—not the consumer residential brand alone. It is filed under Fixed Wireless in our sample, which usually aligns with wireless broadband delivery rather than a fiber or coax drop in those rows.
FCC provider strings are precise: “EarthLink Business” may differ from other EarthLink-affiliated names that could appear elsewhere in national data. This hub describes only what our merged index contains.
Our city snapshot count for this name is small; broad brand awareness nationally does not imply dense appearance in our coordinate-based extracts.
Transparency: FCC data here is research context only. Live retail pricing, promotions, equipment fees, and exact serviceability come from the provider after an address check—use our tool below when you are ready to shop.
Plans, speeds, and what to expect
We do not infer business vs residential pricing, SLAs, or data policies from FCC filings. This is explanatory content only.
Fixed-wireless performance depends on signal, spectrum, and capacity; a filing at a city point does not model your site.
If you expected consumer EarthLink service, retail naming may differ from FCC labels—verify with the provider or comparison tool.

How to check real pricing and plans
FCC National Broadband Map extracts do not include live retail pricing, bill totals, or a definitive “yes/no” at your exact door without a provider-side qualification flow. The most accurate way to see current plans, speed tiers, and serviceability is to run an availability check at your address.

Technologies in our FCC data
Labels below come from filings tied to EarthLink Business in our city-coordinate pulls. Multiple technologies usually mean the brand files under more than one network type across markets—or multiple paths in the same region.
Fixed Wireless
Fixed wireless uses radio links to a home antenna; speeds and reliability depend on line-of-sight, spectrum, and tower capacity. Sample coordinates may not represent every address in the ZIP or city.
How this provider compares
Versus T-Mobile or Verizon fixed wireless, all may file wireless home or business broadband; product mix differs by market—use live tools.
Versus fiber incumbents, fixed wireless trades wireline stability for deploy flexibility; latency and caps vary.
Versus satellite (Starlink, HughesNet), fixed wireless is tower-based with different geography and weather sensitivity.
