Decided to go with Mediacom after Iowa Telecom, decided to increase there rate's for basic phone service
Pre Install- Ordered the 3mb Cable package without any other service total for 1 year is $35
($19 + $15)
Install was scheduled for the 19th He came at the specified time and was courteous and professional
We live in a brick house so he had trouble initially deciding how to best run the cable as we have a crawl space with is hard to get to. so what he did was move the ground block to where our phone line comes in at basement windows and ran it in that way into our splitter and we used the existing cabling in my room except, He didn't have the screw I need on our house to secure the cable to the brick!
The Modem is an Ambit 60678 EU cable modem which I have connected to a Motorola WRG850G router
Speeds are great
I would recommend Mediacom if your in an area served by them and you value speed
(At least in Iowa)
Update: 7/10/2009
Speeds still are great, No major outages (had 2 that lasted all of 1 minute) I later found out that the Ambit was reporting incorrect signals and was the cause of the lost connection. I now have an RCADCM 425 modem and new wiring and everythiong is working great. I do computer support and I hear numerous complaints about our local phone compony. If you can get Mediacom (Internet) go for it
