3.26 and .95

My shit's weak. I've never been happy with Mediacom and their advertised connection speeds vs their actual connection speeds.

I used to have mediacom for a long time, both the mediacom max and the mediacom standard, they both tested around 10 down and 1 up quite frequently. this fiber just became available to me a few months ago, only cost me about $10 more a month. although a lot of websites wont transfer data to you fast enough to capitalize on the fiber speed but on big downloads or youtube you will see the benefits

11.47 down and .96 up. I believe mediacom has an upload cap of 1 dont they? I don't mind my internet never seems to slow down when I'm using it, but those fiber speeds make me drool

yea I was thinking clutchmuch's number looked really god. Mediacomm came out with a new package that was really fast similar to my fiber speeds but I think they wanted $100 a month

DAMN thats fast^^

My mediacom is junk even after a new router, then again I've never gotten good service from them.

When we added internet I went ahead and did the self setup; didnt work. They insisted I was doing something wrong and they would have to come out and do it for me. They come out twice, still doesnt work. Turns out they forgot that they put a filter out at the box when they ran the cable. Thanks Mediacom.
