[Cable HSI] New Data Cap & Old 12/1 Grandfathered PlanSince it looks like all of the grandfathered non capped 12/1 ($45.95/month) customers are going to be capped and since the capped 15/1 plan is the same price as the old 12/1 plan, are all of the 12/1 customers going to get a new 15/1 config file pushed out/assigned to their account on Sept 7th? |

In most areas customers who were on the 12/1 configuration were converted to the 15/1 configuration on the modem side. |

Is it true that in September ALL previously grandfathered accounts will be placed under caps? Or is this only hitting some of the tiers? |

All customers will have a data allowance starting in September of this year. This will only affect 2-3% of all of our customers. If you would like to send me an IM with your account number or phone number, I would be more than happy to check your average usage. |

chad can you please drop the 2-3% bs line. If you are so sure of that please post some HARD DATA. I have yet to see a mediacom usage meter be right either. Is this going to be fixed? |

We have no issues with usage meter. |

I have a problem with it. What happened to the past 3 months view? |

Chad, the problem with the usage meter is that the 3-month display keeps breaking. It works for while, and then, like currently, displays nothing. Your web servers are apparently unable to talk to the database server to retrieve the past data. This needs to be fixed so users can have an idea of their current and past usage. |

my point exactly it does not work right. I cant see 3 months worth of data usage. |

There has to be an issue. It shows I used 14gb last month. Just under 250 the month before and I'm over 250 this month. Internet habits haven't changed in the house so last month is very, very wrong. And 2 or 3 months in a row early this year 900+gb of data in a week then the meter just stopped counting? Seems like an 'issue' to me. |

With this change, we began new reporting on usage. So effective July 7, 2013, the customers that were not on a usage allowance previously, will only see 1 month worth of usage. The 3 month tab will update as we move forward and after 4 months, they will again have the current month and the previous 3 months of usage data.
*Note: Some of the customers that were not on a usage allowance were already viewing their usage. Since we started new reporting on usage, all of these customers usage reporting will now start with July 7, 2013. Thus meaning, they will only see 1 month of usage at this time. The 3 month tab will update as we move forward. |

Instead of mediacoms crappy ass meter i downloaded a bandwith monitor program. Might not be 100% accurate but mediacoms must not be either so its worth a shot. |

It's broke for everyone. I have been on usage based for months and I can't sew the last 3 months. Mediacom couldn't find there way out of a wet paper bag |

Another issue is that the usage meter site doesn't appear to be connected in any way to the Mediacom customer service site. What's up with that? Is Mediacom's idea of "the power to simplify" to require me to have two separate logins to access information that should be easily available when I log in to the customer service site I've been using for years? |

Great, so we can't get an accurate average to see where we are really at a month before the caps go in to affect?? |

There marketing department is good at stretching the truth. Thats why I said give the hard data if your going to open your mouth about it. Even if they did there are some areas that are just getting 50/5 and 105/10 service because of there lack of investment and that will change the percentages also. I was just able to get 50/5 service 4 months ago. I still cant get the 105/10 service. |

Agreed with this. I dont have or really even want a mediacom email. The only time ive had one was when it was created years and years ago when i was still on my parents account living at home before college (im 28 now).. it still forwards to my gmail but i have no idea even what the password is anymore. |

The exchange I had with support via chat this morning would've probably been pretty comical to someone who wasn't actually involved in it. |
