<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>

<title>[RANT] No Mediacom for me, their loss!</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23414138</link>
<description><![CDATA[I recently moved and was going to get Mediacom for my TV and internet. Well seems in Georgia they require a $100 deposit for service. I called ATT, Direct TV, and Dish Network to see if their services required a deposit and nope, none of them do. So due to a stupid policy, Mediacom has lost a customer. Just wanted to point that out for anyone in Ga in the same boat as me.]]></description>

<title>[AL] Downgrading service because I can&#x27;t get reliable HD</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23321559</link>
<description><![CDATA[I bought a new 58" plasma HD TV at the end of last year and upgraded my Mediacom cable service to be able to get HD.   Since that time I have been able to watch HD channels maybe 60 - 75% of the time.  I am constantly getting screen freezes, pixelation,  notices that the channel is not available,  blank screen, or a colored screen with bars.  Sometimes the the CS rep can fix it on the phone, but most of the time they schedule a tech to come out.  The problem with that is that a tech can never get here in less than five days.  In five days the problem will have come and gone several times.

If that's not bad enough they make you subscribe to family cable for $62 per month before you can get HD and I don't watch but three or four of those channels.  So I just downgraded my service to Broadcast Basic and wish I had done it months ago.  If I had another internet service option I would cut off cable TV completely and go with satellite service. ]]></description>

<title>[IA] HD Channels with Expanded Basic Cable?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23409798</link>
<description><![CDATA[HI!  I'm from Des Moines with just expanded basic cable.  No box.  I just bought a 1080p HDTV.  Flipping around the channels I find a bunch of High Def channels that my older 720p didn't find.  Most are in the 51 to 55 channel range, but I also found 8-1, 17-1, and the IPTV channels. This leads me to a couple of questions...

1.  Is this normal??
2.  Are they true high def channels?? 
3.  Is it normal for high def channels to be lower volume than regular channels?
4.  Is there a listing of these channels somewhere??

Thanks!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Mediacom announced for Waterloo the new D3 speed tiers
105 Down/10 Up and a 50 Down/5 Up
It seems to me though they should have done at least 15 Mb Up on the 105 though :hmm:

<title>[MN] FSN Wild/Wolves not on HD</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23408335</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am wondering if anyone else is not receiving the HD broadcasts of recent Wild and Wolves games.  The guide indicated it should be on and a buddy with Comcast in the Twin Cities has said they have been on HD for him.

I called Mediacom around Nov 10th or so and they said it wasn't broadcast in HD.  I replied that it was as a friend on comcast was watching it atm.  They said it must be an outage of some sort and I got that hint that they knew nothing really.  I didn't press.

I am keeping a short list of games.  So far, I have only documented the 11/18 Wolves and 11/28 Wild game - but I haven't been catching all the games lately.  I don't remember the date of the game when I called the CSR but it was beg. November.

Thoughts?  Please post if you notice future HD "blackouts" as well.
Thanks,
Ben]]></description>

<title>Another midwest customer with atrocious speeds.  QWEST SOON!</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23405010</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi guys!  Used to love my mediacom but the past couple of months it has been performing pretty badly.  I used to consistantly get 14mbs download and my XBOX live worked like a dream.  

Now, I am getting between 900k and 7mbit (IF IM VERY LUCKY).  Also, the connection drops to nothing at times.  Sometimes I cant even get webpages to load at all.  The problems started a couple months ago and seemed to be improving but fell apart again a week or two ago.  Then, last night, after looking forward to some quality xbox time, I couldnt even play because the connection was so unstable.  

I have tried running straight off the cable modem and gotten the same results.  SOunds like this is popping up all over the midwest.  

I am calling Mediacom tomorrow.  They have one week to get this fixed and then Im switching to Qwest.  Qwest 20mbs just became available in my area and it is 50 per month vs the 65 per month I pay mediacom.  

Ill keep you all updated what happens.  This is pathetic service mediacom!  ]]></description>
