Re: Mediacom Pensacola Fl area opinions please!
said by MrTudo  :Some questions about where you live. Didn't that area become a major spring break place after we ran the breakers out of Lauderdale?? The Gulf Breeze/Navarre area is still in the pre-vacation hotspot mode. Things are beginning to build up, but so far, the vacation area is mainly about 20 miles east in Destin. I fully except this area to turn into a tourist area in another 4 or 5 years.
said by MrTudo :Do you know anything about Milton and it's internet availability? I'm not sure, but it should be the same...Bellsouth and Mediacom.
said by MrTudo :By the way, we live in Port Charlotte and were in the walk in closet of the master bedroom when Charley came rolling thru, cat 4, 145mph winds gusting to over 180 and the eye was right in the neighborhood. Soon as we had electric we had internet with Comcast. That was pretty awesome. I believe that was the case with DSL, but my experience with Mediacom is that the service was intermittent at best, with several continuous hours of downtime.
said by MrTudo :It may seem strange to some how we are almost basing our moving criteria around the internet but it's how we make our living, so it's right up there in importance. Honestly, if you seriously make a living off the Internet and you require serious dependability, I would recommend going with Bellsouth's overpriced DSL (personally don't have experience with the service, but have heard decent things) or lease an SDSL circuit with an SLA from somewhere. I personally wouldn't place my business' future in Mediacom's hands. |
