pretty much what the guy above said.

Also, even if you have the 12/1 service and have an actual cap of 250, if you go over it once in a while, mediacom doesn't seem to care much, at least not in my area. It's the one thing I'll give them credit for being decent.

As for the grandfathering, at least in my area its not like cell phones, there new limits affect everyone regardless of join date.

All grandfathered accounts will show 250 GB cap but there will be no charges for usage exceeding 250 GB. Use your connection and don't worry about any caps.

I have a grandfathered 12/1 plan and the usage meter shows a cap of 250GB. Last month I used 612GB and there have been no extra charges.

I do question the accuracy of the meter though. I didn't use the internet any more than normal but some how used 600gb of data. The month before shows way under my normal usage. This month I was at my the meter shows I've used 300gb in 4 days. That can't be right, at this rate I'll be at 2TB by the end of the month.

I guess next month I will attempt to go over 251GB in order to test the meter.......

Dumb system to implement package caps and meters and then not use it correctly. I hope you are correct because I really don't want to call the billing department.

As far as the usage meter being incorrect; I don't really want to wait until I go over 250 and get charged and then get the meter fixed.

is what I see and I have no doubt the computer will auto bill me at 251GB...since that is the whole point of the meter being there.

There are no issues in the area that I am seeing. I am only aware of issues that are brought to my attention, but since you are on the Ultra Service, your allowance is 999 GB.

Does everybody else with the Ultra have the incorrect usage meter.

Also is there a speed problem in GA tonight?

I have two new issues that Chad can hopefully answer.

I have had internet only since July 2010. 12 months ago I switched to the Ultra 50/5 and was given a discount for one year but no contract required. Last month I received a letter telling me my rate was going up due to the promo expiring and it had links to the new mediacom website to check my monthly usage. I thought the monthly usage note was strange since that should be grandfathered unlimited since I had the same service before the implementation of usage caps.

So today I log in to mediacom website for tech support since my speeds tonight are 1.0 mbps down but still 5.0 up speed. I wanted to see who to call. Anyway I found the usage meter page and it says I have used 107GB of 250 GB this month.

So first is there a Speed problem tonight in GA? Also why am I in the usage cap if I should have been grandfathered?????????
