It reads: "3. THE SERVICE Depending on the type of Service that you sign up for, the Service may include internet access, software, hardware, email, webspace and other features. From time to time EarthLink may impose reasonable rules and regulations regarding the use of the Services. YOU MAY NOT USE ANY ALTERNATE CONNECTION OR CLIENT SOFTWARE WITH ROAMING OR VOICE CAPABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE. THE EARTHLINK WIRELESS ENHANCED ACCESS SERVICE IS FOR DATA ONLY. Violation of this part of the agreement will result in an additional charge of $0.95 per minute of unauthorized voice usage and suspension or cancellation of your account. " http://www.earthlink.net/cable/terms/ That sounds to me that EarthLink cable users use of VOIP such as Skype is against of the cable usage agreement, I bet most Earthlink cable users don't know that. Perhaps, is it because EarthLink offer its own VOIP and discourage its users from obeying such service from other providers?
