|  Whos Mediacom?
I've never heard of anyone that has them. Also why would they upgrade knowing all cable/teleco company's they will just ride what they have until the government forces them to do something or someone better comes along and they lose a lot of customers.

| I can access a Mediacom modem diagnostics page from my Comcast internet connection by typing in the »10.xxx.xxx.xxx in my web browser.
I forget the ip off the top of my head (not at home right now), but yeah its really WEIRD. Somehow the Mediacom private IP address range is connected with Comcast. I wonder what kind of relationship the two have? |

I don't know of any official link, but they both own former chunks of TCI/AT&T Broadband/etc. Mediacom bought some areas (like in Iowa) before Comcast bought up the rest in 2001-2002. Perhaps there is some legacy infrastructure sharing left? |

1 edit | I've researched the modem's config file name. Also looking up the tracert shows a mediacom owned ip address on the hop right before the 10.x.x.x address. I posted before on here about it, let me see if I can dig it up.
EDIT:
Here you go, original thread:
»What config file is this???? |

| Found an SBV5220 on mediacom.
»10.17.136.29/
Remember the login for a SBV5220 is admin and the password is motorola
Compared it to mine and I have a firmware version 2 years newer and 16 revisions later. Theres slight differences. One of the things I've noticed on the Mediacom voice modem is the detail of the DHCP process in the logs. It says what boot file it downloads, the TFTP server address, etc.. Comcast must prevent the modems from posting that info somehow. |
