That is correct as well. Mediacom does have a 90 day guarantee.

Thanks for the response. Think it's safe to say customers have that for any ISP. Just some ISPs tend to be worse off than others. Getting their up to 30mb service and to be honest, won't bother me if we only get 15-20 out of it as long as I don't have to deal with the ping we get with CenturyLink (ie 500-1300ms between 3pm-1am). We've had their cable tv service ever since it came to the area and only had 3 counts that i can recall of issues, first 2 boxes just needed replaced, last issue just needed to replace the original cable line to the house. Looking forward to switching phone/internet to MediaCom.

Just to let you know we were having the same issues with CenturyLink so we switched to Mediacom and we LOVE!!!! it we were promised 12 down and we get between 28 and 35 down. YOU WILL LOVE IT

Nice. Think one of our largest concerns is the fact we currently have 2 tvs connected to cable boxes + 6 additional tvs connected via cable. So worried about signal strength in that regard. And since we are getting phone and internet added, unsure how stable everything will be. But like I said, and I'm sure you can agree, can't get worse than already is with CenturyLink.

The internet / phone modem should be installed before any of the TVs so the signal to that should be fine, but you might need an amp for some of the TVs off the 6/8 way depending on how you have it set up.

If I remember correctly, we have the main line split into 2 running 1 to each end of the house, from there, each line is split off to run to each of the tvs. Will they provide an amp if it is needed? If so, any idea if there is an extra charge for it?

Yes they should provide an amp if needed. No there shouldn't be any additional cost for that.

That's a relief. Thank you for the response. And thank you to everyone who has responded. Greatly appreciate it. Can't wait till the 2nd and see how everything turns out.

You are welcome! Let me know if you have any other questions or issues!

Will definitely be contacting you once everything is hooked up to get the port forwarding info and what not, Although now that I think about it. With my concern of having so many TVs hooked to cable, having phone service as well, assuming we wouldn't be able to have a separate line run just for internet without paying extra.

It is possible. If you need a dedicated line for signal the technician can run that for you.

You might want to buy your own moodem because your in a 2 year contract for internet which you will pay 5 bucks a month wich turns out to be 120 bucks. when you can get the Surfboard Sb5150 which is the same modem mediacom gives you for $60 at best buy or walmart

or just buy a d3 modem.

I'll keep that in mind. If MediaCom replaces bad/broken modems at no charge, may just stick with the one they provide given my track record in the past. Thank you for the suggestion. Will be sure to look into it.

Installation is now complete. Went smoothly and didn't take long at all. Phone works great as well as the internet. »www.speedtest.net/result/2617846568.png Only thing I was not so thrilled about was not getting the DVR today. According to the installer, they were currently out and will call to schedule a time to bring the DVR over when they get more. Seemed odd to me but no biggy. Just glad the internet/phone is working great.

there out because someone is an inventory moron. The other problem is the new tivo boxes that should have been available months ago are still no ready.
