Have been a DSL subscriber for over 5 years, and decided I wanted to try something different. Mediacom has been offering high-speed Internet for about 2 years, and they seem to have delivered on their promises. DSL package was 1.1M down, current Mediacom package is 5M down/256 up and it hits those numbers with ease!
I wasn't overly impressed with the somewhat "generic" Ambit cable modem they supplied, so I purchased my own Motorola Surfboard SB 5120. Works great, and was significantly faster with no other changes made. It's a keeper.
Ordered by phone, appointment for install made for 2 days later. Install tech called me at work and confirmed my time, and I met him as agreed. Took about 30 minutes, had good line quality at the existing jack and I was up and running with no issues. Very satisfied that the order/install process went well, as I felt that may have been a problem area but it proved not to be.
So far so good...more to follow if needed.
UPDATED 08/08 Speed package recently changed to 8Mbps Down, 512Kbps up. Service still very reliable, few outages. Works nicely with son's XBOX 360 for on-line multiplayer use.
