Did not rate Pre sales/install since I have have been on this cable modem the past 11 years B4 Mediacom purchased the system. Node was upgraded in 10/07 to regain top speed during primetime, and has been steady since. In Sept '08, they increased the speed from 8/768 to 12/1. Since Jan '11 the node had become "overutilized". Big upgrade at the headend in Aug '11 fixed all speed issues. Speeds were increased 10% to 13.2/1.1 along with "speedboost" which allows users to use unutilized bandwidth. Monthly cost does not include modem rental fee of $5/month, as I own my own modem.

Same problem here in Dubuque

where I live now. Mediacom is so bad that I even "miss" Comcast :/

There is no other alternative. The DSL available to my apartment rates at 256/256. Can't use YouSquared Wimax either since I am renting an apartment and landlord won't allow installing any antenna.

Even TV service is mediocre. The family package they price high is like basic and most channels are unavailable.
