AT&T Broadband opens cable network to EarthLink

SCBJ Staff

AT&T Broadband customers in parts of Snohomish County now have a choice of high-speed Internet providers.

EarthLink Inc. is offering cable Internet service anywhere that AT&T Broadband’s own high-speed Internet service is available around Puget Sound, including Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace and Bothell.

Parts of Everett’s cable system recently were upgraded to offer high-speed Internet access, while other areas are still in the process of being improved.

The introduction of EarthLink’s high-speed service in the region marks the first time AT&T Broadband has opened its cable network to another Internet service provider.

While EarthLink’s cable access service is new to the area, its dial-up and DSL services have been available for years. Founded in 1994, EarthLink has 4.9 million customers nationwide.
