  On the average I get about 2800 down & 230 up...  Check and make sure your not on the TV special they ran around Christmas..  It is worse than dialup!!There is a Mediacom service rep in the dslrports form...  Name is Scooter I think. Wish one of the reps would join here.. :whaa:

I am on the Mediacom 5Mbits connection and here is a speed test I just ran:

::::::::::.. Download Stats ..::::::::::
Connection is:: 4655 Kbps about 4.7 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB)
Download Speed is:: 568 kB/s
Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/
Test Time:: Sat Mar 19 07:29:11 CST 2005
Bottom Line:: 83X faster than 56K 1MB download in 1.8 sec
Diagnosis: Awesome! 20% + : 109.87 % faster than the average for host (mchsi.com)
Validation Link:: http://testmy.net/stats/id-V2I6UZYXW

Not sure why you say they are S#!tty as I just moved to Alabama from EL Paso, TX and the Roadrunner out there sucked.  Mediacom here in North Alabama is fast as hell and the service I get from them is outstanding.  Must depend on where you are and who you are dealing with...

Mediacom doesn't suck... it just that they are behind on technology HERE a bit... they will be updating very shortly... like in the next two months.

They have a special just for gamers. Has 5 mbits. Not too shabby.

I agree they are a fairly crappy IsP.  they have 3mps down and 256Kbs up.  the only thing this si good for is downloading. don't try to play any online games because you will get kicked for high ping and xbox and ps2 online play is choppy.  I found quest dsl is better for my area 1500 down 768 up

I had roadrunner a couple years ago in minneapolis mn. I had one of the old 3com modems and with a few registery tweaks I was running just over 4MB they kept tring to get me to bring the old 3com in and get the new toshiba modems they said it would be even faster but I new a couple people that had the toshiba modem and they where lucky to get 2 megs and one of them lived in the same town house complex as I did so I just kept telling them no thanks I am happy with what I have

Mediacom sucks only because they are using outdated equipment that corporate wont update because of money.  And the speeds prove it.

::::::::::.. Download Stats ..::::::::::
Connection is:: 2555 Kbps about 2.6 Mbps (tested with 1496 kB)
Download Speed is:: 312 kB/s
Tested From:: http://testmy.net/ (server2)
Test Time:: Fri Jul 22 14:04:40 CDT 2005
Bottom Line:: 46X faster than 56K 1MB download in 3.28 sec
Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 68.44 % of your hosts average (mchsi.com)
Validation Link:: http://testmy.net/stats/id-PFWGIUA95


This is the result of poor equipment.  So although some of you may get better results Mediacom has skimped paying out $ in some markets and when their cable contract comes time to be renewed they will be in for a good amount of trouble. Not to mention when voip comes to your neighborhood you will then see the problems coming out of the wood work.

I am in Springfield, MO and I get great Download speed and great upload speed. I just wish the Upstream was more like 512 or 786 256 is practically stone age. But hey I got the 1st mo free and only pay 29.95 after that. I called to ask if they had faster plans and I was told that there are Beta testers out there with 10/1, I'd sure like to be in that group. Also there is a new "gamers" package in development that will boast more upstream speed.

A field tech said that Mediacom will probably never give us more upload as it may induce people to run servers.  Dont know how true that is but he is a head field tech.  I wont pay no $75 for 10,000 when they cant even give us close to 5000 now.

Came to this forum for help.  Just moved to FL from NM (Comcast High-Speed).  My connection speeds are way down (less than 1Mbps).  I keep getting kicked from servers in BF2, and constant CIs (connection interrupted) during JO.  I haven't changed any settings on my comp yet.  Went from a motorolla cable modem with a Linksys Wireless Router to now just having a Linksys Cable Modem.  Any hints or tips on getting a lot more out of my connection would be greatly appreciated.  I built my own comp, so I understand hardware.  I have it tweaked for gaming, but I am pretty much clueless on internet connections.

You didn't specify your modem....But I have found getting an updated modem like a Motorola Surfboard sb5120 my speeds went up!  If your running windows XP you shouldnt mess with any rwin settings....XP is set to handle all this for you.  If your speeds are still sucking call for a tech to come out and check things.  Make sure you request a field tech with equipment, to test your line with a lap top and a modem...
Also look at your signal strenght for your modem and post all the results.. Upstream and downstream as well as SNR
