It is, once again, one of those days when I couldn't imagine using any service except EarthLink.

Granted, I'm a little biased. Through a series of acquisitions, a company I used to work for is now (sort of) part of EarthLink, with the bottom line being that I have numerous friends there.

That said, the service is just objectively better. Today I was able to synchronize my OS X address book with EarthLink Web Mail, so I could set EarthLink's Spam Blocker to its highest setting while automatically placing all recently used addresses on a white list--without any retyping.

With high speed access at home and dialup POP access wherever I happen to be traveling--for the same price as Time Warner's Road Runner service--I don't know how anyone puts up with anything less.
