NEW YORK - EarthLink says it has restored its Internet-access service following an outage Thursday that affected up to 1.5 million of its customers. <br>
<br>
Service was interrupted Thursday morning due to a fluctuation in the power supply at EarthLink headquarters in Atlanta. <br>

Spokeswoman Carla Shaw said the power supply problem occurred at the same time EarthLink was testing its power backup system. As a result, up to 1.5 million of EarthLink's 4.9 million customers were unable to gain access to the Internet for a couple of hours.
