I am a tech for Mediacom, Brought the modem home on my first day at work (AMBIT Modem), ran it through provisioning in just a couple of minutes and I was up and running. Had solit 2.5 or 3 meg DS Speeds, but the AMBIT modem went bad so i replaced it for a Motorola SB 5101 now i get 4.5-4.8 consistently.

Update 6/17/07:
After I terminated my employment with mediacom, I had the VIP 15/1, I never saw above 8mbps, but when the download speeds were dropped, without notice, I could get the full 10/1.
Since then I have had a dispute with the billing and canceled all services with Mediacom.
Update 4/9/08:
i have restored HSD services with Mediacom because the Local DSL is not a very good deal. Speeds are perfect getting 98% of advertised speeds.
