Survey Notes:
We asked subscribers to rate their satisfaction with their ISP on a scale of 1 to 7, with 1 being "extremely dissatisfied" and 7 being "extremely satisfied." The percentages show the number of respondents giving their service provider a rating of 6 or 7 ("satisfied" or "extremely satisfied").

Footnotes:
n/a = Not applicable. We received too few responses to rate this feature.

2Composite rating by all EarthLink subscribers.
