Hijacking gets worse - now redirecting directly to commercial sites

»www.mediacombundledeals. ··· 256-6180

What the heck mediacom, hijacking our url search was not enough? Today I entered "mediacom" in my browser, which searches google by default, but when I hit enter, mediacoms dns hijacked the url from google search and delivered me to the url above. This goes beyond the normal hijack of redirecting my searches to your own results page, you are now actively taking people to sites they did not request. I have changed my dns previously away from mediacom, but as we all know, that quickly is "forgotten" by their system.

Packet injection, search hijacking, and now delivering people to commercial sites based on a search term....this ones going to the FCC as this is unacceptable.

Hello inmis, I will be happy to look into this from here and work to get the correct department involved to address as well. Can you send me an IM with your account or phone number?
