<title> HSI Friday 11/20/2009</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23375024</link>
<description><![CDATA[Here we go again and again and round and round. Last night was another nightmare for me and Mediacom.

Around 6:30PM CST. Internet stared getting flaky again. Low speeds and lost packets. I called Mediacom 2 times. The first phone call there were no annoucement to changes in our HSI, thatrequired us to reboot our modem. The Teir 1 Tech said ther were no problems with the service and that the modem had a good range of signal. Then why was i not getting internet. 

The second time I called then their was annoucement saying we needed to reboot our modem and router.
I asked to talk with a supervisor he asked me to reboot the modem, I was upset so i did that. well we have the phone service that cut me off. He never called back and I was not going to spend another 15 minutes trying to get through to hime. 

THen I could not even get the modem to show its config page and yes, it was plugged in to the network. 

Here are soem small stats from lastnight I could not run speedtest or anything else becuase i could not get out side.

<title>[IL] When the wife starts complaining...you know it&#x27;s a problem.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23376887</link>
<description><![CDATA[OK...here we are in Central Illinois (Le Roy), and we are on week 5 or 6 of crappy downloads speeds...and no luck from any of my calls to Mediacom.

When my wife starts to complain about not being able to stream from 
Netflix and VUDU, then you know we have a problem...scratch that...I have a problem.

  

  

This was taken at 8:15pm on Saturday, Nov. 21.

Our services fluctuates from 11mb to 3mb all the time....most of the time it hovers around the 4-5mb (It's very rare that I get the 11mb that I pay for...I usually only pull that down at 1am-2am).

Anyone else here from Central IL?  Having the same issues?]]></description>

<title>[GA] Football ESPN/ABC Reverse Mirror Not Working</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23374329</link>
<description><![CDATA[Here in Valdosta, GA Mediacom is carrying the same game every Saturday at 3:30 on ESPN/2 and ABC.  They are supposed to be carrying the reverse mirror game on ESPN/2 so that everyone can see both games.  Today, for example, Penn State-Michigan State will not be televised on ESPN, but instead both ABC and ESPN will carry Virginia-Clemson.  As a Penn State fan this really makes me mad. ]]></description>

<title>[Cable TV] FSN North HD Guide Data</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23198932</link>
<description><![CDATA[FSN North HD appears to be on 24/7 now.  But the guide doesn't list the shows and only shows "Off-Air" for most of the day.

When will Mediacom fix the FSNHD guide to provide listings 24 hours/day?]]></description>

<title>[GA] Is something up right now in Valdosta?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23357773</link>
<description><![CDATA[Starting early yesterday, and continuing through most of the day, I had fairly high, frequent outgoing packet loss (which wasn't a surprise).  My signal levels were fine, same as they always are, and the only thing different is that I was seeing a lot more errors in my modem's log than usual.

Earlier, it was a lot of "No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out."  About 30 seconds to a minute apart, about as often as I was getting spikes of packet loss.

Checking again, I see nothing but "DHCP RENEW sent - No response" as far back as the log goes, about every 15 seconds or so, sometimes (but rarely) up to two minutes apart.  My internet seems to be working fine at the moment, but I haven't tried any gaming or heavy use yet.

Signal levels still seem fine.  I'm guessing it is (as usual) something on Mediacom's end that may or may not be fixed within a day or two, but I'm curious if anyone--oh, there goes my connection.

And it's back, about 30 seconds later.  I can't access my modem's page anymore, though, so I don't know if I'm still getting the errors.  Anyway, is anything else weird going on out there?]]></description>

<title>Speeds/connections SUCK</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23368682</link>
<description><![CDATA[So for about the 4th night in a row now my connection has gone to total shit... Dropped packets, disconnections - my signal strength is great and I am getting solid pings from the first hop but after that it goes to hell. I am going to use this thread as a journal, no use calling tech support because those outsourced idiots can't even speak english.

First hop is in the middle, second hop to the right and Yahoo to the left.

<title>[MO] Current Mediacom Customer Going to Try New CenturtyLink</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23372400</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have had HSI from Mediacom for the past year in Columbia, MO.  I have had many issues with speeds slowing down in the evening and on weekends.  Many techs have been out and problems have seemed to be resolved, but then they reappear.  My average speed is roughly 6 mbps, and I am on the 12/1 plan.

We watch HD movies from Netflix on our HDTV and when the speeds slow down in the evenings and on weekends, the quality suffers noticeably.  

Therefore I am going to try out CentuyLink's new DSL that is now being offered at my address.  They confirmed that it will be 8 mbps constantly since its a dedicated line.  I am going to keep both Mediacom and CenturyLink for a little while and see which one out performs.  I will post updates to this forum and hopefully I'll finally find a quality, consistent HSI provider.  ]]></description>
