It's the buying bigger is better mentality. Most people buy way too big of grills to, just in case they have that one get together every 5 years they may need all the space.

I thought Longwood sounded like it was going to be a middle school. The Longwood Middle School.

I have 1 Gig with Mediacom because of the data caps. If I didn't have it I would pay $80 a month more for going over the limit.

Yep, sure is! Best part is that I really only get 500 MB download, never really seen it higher than 550 or so.

If you can get CenturyLink in your area
That is a better option
$60 a month 1 Gig for life
The difference between CenturyLink and Mediacom is Vast
Audio and VIdeo are much better
Mediacom is not a customer-friendly source
After a year they usually raise your internet price
They raised my price from $80 a month to $130 a month
I called them to get a lower rate and they offered $10 less,
I told them that I could get CenturyLink for $60 a month, total
price, tax included, For Life
They wouldn't give me a better price, so I called CenturyLink and
the next day they installed it
I have Youtube TV and Century Link and am very satisfied

It’s different for everyone. I would never use or recommend Century Link. If it rained in my neighborhood we lost internet for a week…moisture in the whatever that had to dry. Every situation is different.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t be with CL. But it’s not even an option for me. And when I canceled their service a few years ago they made Mediacom customer service look like saints.

Next Tuesday I am FINALLY getting real internet speed. I live out in the country and the max I can get is 12 Mbps download and under a 1 upload and that's if I'm the only one at home and the neighbors are gone. They ran fiber in my area, I'll be getting 100 Mbps on Tuesday. I can't wait!

Agree, sports like field hockey, track, and other sports are the ones to put on BTN+ and leave the football, basketball, some baseball and hockey on BTN. That's why people fought for BTN to get on the major carriers. Their stupid network shows instead of playing sports is stupid too. I would be nice if they could aim the content to the regions represented as well.

Century Link in Dubuque was terrible, lied about the price, wouldn't answer phone calls or e-mails until I dumped them. Then they finally explained the charges and other problems but I was past caring at that time. Course they demanded the balance of the contract I told them to suck it. They sent it to collection and I won every time I challenged it. I think they sent it to 3 different collection companies and all three sided with me. I finally stop replying. That's a bad business model. Hope they go out of business. I pay monopolyMediacom 92.00 a month for internet up from 65.00 I started at about 8 years ago. Unlimited streaming, service is very inconsistent.
