Which Mediacom internet package is best? Well, that’ll depend on the person buying it. Mediacom has three main internet plans priced from $49.99 to $79.99.
You can do a lot of internet-ing—including HD gaming and streaming—with Mediacom’s Internet 200 plan, which gives you download speeds up to 200 Mbps with a 1,000 GB monthly data cap. The internet speed on Mediacom’s intro package is best for singles, couples, and smaller families with young children.
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 and its 1,000 Mbps maximum download speed. Although the plan doesn’t come with unlimited internet data, you’ll still have a whopping 6,000 GB data cap.

Although Mediacom’s Internet 100 is super cheap, and the internet speeds might be fast enough if you have only one or two folks at home, that 200 GB data cap is super small. Mediacom will charge you $10 for every 50 GB you go over each month, so you could rack up a lot in overage fees if you enjoy streaming TV.
With data caps in mind, we’d recommend Internet 200 as the better starting package. It comes with good internet speeds and a data cap that will get you pretty far.
If you really want speed, the 1 Gig plan is the way to go. Those download speeds can support streaming live TV while other family members use the internet. The 50 Mbps upload speeds aren’t as good as the matched upload speeds from fiber internet providers, but they should do the trick if you need to make video calls from time to time.
