        That said, I have had Earthlink through TWC and TWC directly for
        over 10 years, and have had no issues other than an occasional
        outage.  Every time I've called residential support, even before
        I started working at TWC, my issue has been resolved quickly. 
        Maybe I'm just lucky, but that's been my experience.<br>

                        I was calling she quickly determined that the

                        time that I have called there seems to be a

                        proportidly observed "Two great peoples,
                        seuparated by a common language".  There also
