Nice way to take what I said out of context. I was referring to the fact that my own 85 year old grandmother had no problem hooking up her router and getting it registered on Mediacom's network.

mike so Mediacom isn't a REAL company now? A lot of other Internet providers don't support routers. Doesn't mean you can't use them just means they don't support them.
well lets see....internet and home metworking go hand in hand....got my verizon DSl activated today to test drive for 30days.....got it activated with out a hitch but I had problems getting my router to connect....

I called tech support...the guy i talked to knew routers inside and out....we had it up and going in a matter or minutes..WHY?....cause they support home networking and have been trained in it....this my friend is a REAL internet company....it was THE BEST tech support call I have experienced in a long time

a REAL internet company would go the extra mile to support home networking...just goes to show you mediacom has along way to go :D

You should only have to reboot the router. You should be able to get to that website even though you can't go anywhere else.

I do realize that in order to connect first time it is better to connect to 1 computer and then hook the router up...this only makes sense...however a REAL internet company would support routers and home networking ;)

I got several rooms remodeled and wanted to get cable hooked up. I placed an order for basic cable, 1 movie pack, cable modem and a DVR. I spent my whole day off running new cables to the two locations that I wanted hooked up. I have one line that goes directly to the cable modem and the other split in 2 for the 2 TVs. The only thing the cable guy needed to do was run a cable line to the pole and ground it, then connect the two lines. Well, he did not ground the splitter on the power pole. That was the first problem. Now the cable modem, I have my network all setup and tested. I got a shelf setup for the modem and router. All he had to do is plug the modem in and it would of worked. But that's to easy, he told it upon himself to bypass my router and switch to hookup one computer. So now I have to go back behind him and set it up correctly again then call tech support to activate the router MAC address so I can have my other computer on-line. I work so I was not there to correct him or have him at least try it first. I had to get a friend that does not know networking to let him in the house to set everything up. I don't care who you are, you just don't go messing around with someone’s network without permission. Then we come to the DVR. What DVR you ask, well that is my question too. He did not have it and did not know when I would get it. I called my friend from work to find all this out. I then called customer service to run down the situation. Nothing she can do about the modem. I have to call tech support when I get home and the DVR she tracks it down. It will be delivered tomorrow. I tell her I would not be at home. She says someone can call you 30 mins before hand to give you time to get someone over there. Well, guess what, the tech shows up without calling and leaves a note. I stopped by and you where not here, no call at all. So, at lunch I call and they tell me we will see if we can get the tech back out there some time today, maybe. What the frell kind of service is this? If Mediacom was not the only game in town I would cancel my service and go else where. I'm going to have to ground my cable connection myself. I don't think it's worth the trouble to try and get someone back out there to do that and where is this DVR at, come on guys.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/FL-Mediacom-and-bad-onsite-server-12437242 Thu, 20 Jan 2005 13:59:05 EDT
