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.
