I currently have an Earthlink DSL account, and my wife has an Earthlink dial-up account. She would now like to jump up and share my DSL, utilizing her PowerBook's Airport card (we're both Mac users). The first place I researched was on the Earthlink support site, where they seemed to have this deal where you get a Linksys BEFW11S4 Router for free, and they tack onto my DSL bill $10 a month network fee. Now maybe I'm just looking for an easy way out, but it sounded like a good deal. I only wonder if they'd really let my wife just cancel her dial-up service, keep her earthlink email address, and leave her to split the one DSL bill with me. It sounds fishy, like E-link would lose money in that deal... Anyone ever done anything like this? Any feedback would be appreciated...
