| well im losing mediacom, they are soaking me for tooooooo much money, im kickin em to the curb. if anyone else feels the pain, i suggest you go to qwest. for what is now costing me 220 dollars a month for home phone, high speed cable and high def cable is going to cost me 55 percent less from qwest for the same services, oh and they have 4 times the high def channels mediacom has.
im hoping that i dont have to call them every month to get my bill corrected like i do mediacom.
anyways i hafta wait for a modem to come in the mail, so ill be back.

I pay $89 for mediacom super high speed (10mbs) internet, phone, and digital television.
yeah, go to speed test .com and test your speed, its not over 2 mbps. so much for 10mbps, if you read it correctly it says up to 10 mbps. it will be a cold day in you know where, before that happens.
they are way behind the times as far as digital goes, all the satellite providers have them beat by 3-4 times the amount of high def channels.
i had sbc internet last summer before moving to iowa and i clocked on speedtest.com a consistant 2.4 mbps, it would beat mediacom any day, 24/7.
yeah i had a good deal from them at one time, kinda but when the special runs out they rape you.
hers my bill from them, its rediculous all the trumped up charges they add in.
mediacom 2 star hbo, starz...................18.95
family cable.... with expanded service .. 54.95
dvr service..............................................8.95
digital equipment additional...................6.00
digital gateway......................................4.00
dvr reciever primary................................6.00
digital plus........ this is for 8 additional channels, channels like the military channel. 9.00
high speed internet service....................45.95
hdtv teir..................................................6.95
wire maintenance...................................3.95
mediacom phone service........................49.95
franchise fees.........................................6.46
sales tax.................................................6.20
fcc regulatory fee.................................. .07
local option sales tax..............................1.24
local school tax.......................................1.24
municiple telecommunications tax...........1.80
public utilty tax.......................................  .03
state excize tax.......................................1.50
state sales tax.........................................1.25
federal universal service fund.................. .08
oh and my late charge of 5 dollars.
21 different charges, 22 if you add in my late charge, my fault i just cant seem to get their money to them on time.
i remember my mom bitc*ing in 1973 about paying 6.95 for cable television. bruce lees, enter the dragon and the movie blazing saddles were the first movies we watched on cable television.

| | The reason I have a fast internet is the new Mediacom VIP bundle that they are pushing. If you get your phone, internet, and digital cable from them they give you a reduced rate and bump the speed of your internet up. Right now that is a huge deal for me as I only really wanted basic cable and the highest speed internet I could get. | | | |

yeah i had that deal too, but when it runs out they kill ya on price.
like i said 220 bucks, rediculous.
you are the first person ive seen who has came close to the 10 mb from mediacom, ive never heard of anyone here in the qc getting anywhere near that before.
me and the girlfreind have came to an agreement that we need a new pc.
i am going to work this weekend so i can get a new pc, my pc is 7-8 years old.
im still running millenium,. its got a 600 celeron in it, LOL.

| BTW....remember when testing your speed on these sites that you need to clear the browser cache before each test or they will not be accurate.
