Mediacom Internet Review

Is Mediacom internet good?

Mediacom has six competitively priced ($19.99–$69.99 per month) cable internet packages with download speeds up to 60–1,000 Mbps. That’s as fast as every other internet provider except Xfinity (it gets up to 2,000 Mbps).

But in CableTV.com’s 2019 survey of customers from the 10 largest DSL and fiber internet service providers in the United States, Mediacom scored last in speed, which indicates that customers aren’t getting the speeds they expected at sign-up. And Mediacom’s overall score (3.88/5) put them in 9th place.

It warrants mentioning that only 0.35 points separates 1st place from 10th place overall—so Mediacom’s 9th place finish isn’t bad. It means Mediacom customers are generally happy with the provider’s service while acknowledging that there’s room for improvement.

Which Mediacom internet package is best? Well, that’ll depend on the person buying it. Mediacom has five main internet plans priced from $29.99 to $69.99.

You can do a lot of internet-ing—including HD gaming and streaming—with Mediacom’s slowest plan, Internet 60, which gives you download speeds up to 60 Mbps with a 400 GB monthly data cap. This is best for singles, couples, and smaller families with young children.

Mediacom has a low-income plan, Access Internet 60, for qualifying households. The download speed is still 60 Mbps, but the data cap drops down to 60 GB a month. This plan is perfect for older adults.

For digital adventurers who live for 4K gaming and streaming and share a home with like-minded relatives or roommates, we suggest the 1 Gig plan. It has speeds up to 1,000 Mbps and a whopping 6,000 GB data cap.
