Mediacom has been very helpful now for some reason to fix the speed and ping issues I have been having (unlike in the past). On 10/29 there is suppose to be a node split in my area to fix the issues. I hope this will finally fix the issues I have been having. If it goes to hell again in the near future I can only hope that the local phone company can figure out how to run dedicated fiber to apartment buildings. If/when they do figure it out I will drop Mediacom in a second.

Asked for a status on my trouble ticket and they said that it had been closed and they will open another. Sent them a reply this morning and asked them how can you close a ticket when it has never been resolved. Also asked them what was on the ticket stating the reason to close it. No reply from them yet.
Here is my speeds from tonight.

Great during the summer when the college kids are gone, crap when college is in session. Been like this every single year I have had mediacom.
