Now I understand that ISPs state "up to the advertised speed", but lets face it if you advertise a speed, dont give the customers 10% of that speed. basically like 98% of the time my internet is only a tenth of the advertised speed.
Speedtest mediacom full#
1 - 2 hours out of every MONTH, seriously, I get full speed, speed test then hit 11.2 to 11.5Mb. I generally get between 1.2 and 2.0 Mb down and 700Kb to 800Kb up. It's not just my line, or my computer, it seems to be the whole town. When going out to look at customer's computers, if those customers have mediacom out of curiosity I run speedtests. I've ran speed tests on, bandwidthplace, speakeasy, 2 wire, dslreports, wugnet, and ran the tests on several servers not only on my computers, my customers computers, but also on my outside calls.
I can add a list of things I've tried and 99% of the time I get only 1/10 (one-tenth) of the advertised speed. My tcp settings including netsh global settings in Win 7 are fully optimized, no viruses, no spyware, tried different DNS servers, used two different routers, two different modems. Because of the work I do I have the pleasure of having access to several computers and make several outside calls to customers around town. I own a small computer repair business that I run from home.
Speedtest mediacom install#
Plus I was out the $99 install fee for a Internet upgrade that does not work. Plus the fact that I was without my Internet for several days and since my child was taking Online classes she had to make other arrangements. The main consequence was about 12 hours of missed work waiting for Mediacom to show up and fix issues they could not. We make another appt and the tech comes to the door and advises it is a known issue and there is no reason for him to be there, I asked why would I be advised by support again to miss work and be at home if it is a known issue? At this time the On-demand is sporadic and cannot be counted on to work and our Internet runs slower than promised. That was a lie! I was there waiting and he ignored the request. I called support and she advised he did try to stop by and I was not home. So I call them back at customer service and they advised that it is NOT a known issue and schedule another appt in three days and that time of course I missed several hours and this time the tech did not even show up. Of course I had to miss work and the tech shows up and states it is a known issue. They advised they had to send out a tech and made a appt. He leaves I call and they switch me back but state I still have to pay the $99 install fee and after I asked her why should I pay for a service that not only did not work but also caused me to go several days without any Internet and she then hangs up on me.OK? The month before the Internet issue Mediacom on-demand was not working and I called support.
The tech advises me to switch back to the slower cheaper plan since the Ultra 50 is not working at out house and I have to call customer support to get this done. Several days later it starts to slow down and I am not getting the speed I paid for, I call them back and they set up another appt, they show up today and tell me that they do not know why it’s not working and that they are sorry. They show up on Monday and it takes several different techs showing up and a couple hours to get it to work since this is a new service and they are all learning, they get it working and leave. So I am going now another 4 days without Internet and I had my husband get off work early Monday to wait for the tech again. The customer support rep advised sorry the outside tech should have called you to let you know. At 5:30 I called MEdiacom again to find out where they were, they advised me that they re-scheduled the appt for Monday (4 days) without even calling me and letting me know this. I called work and got a co-worker to cover me for several more hours. 2 hours later I called back to Mediacom and was advised the tech would probably show up at the end of his shift between 4-5:30, I asked why I was told something different from the last rep and she said she was sorry and did not know. I called my employee and told them I would be late by about 1 hour.
I called Mediacom back and was advised they would send the tech back AFTER he left the next APPT. I tried it about 15 minutes later and it was not working at all. MEdiacom sent a tech to the house and when he left he advised it was working. We updated to the new 50 MB deluxe Internet package three weeks ago.
