    Angry Mediacom blows

    Don't know if I was the only one but just got mediacom back after 6 hours. We have everything phone, internet and cable so we were without all 3.

    I will tell you that I have Mediacom Internet (thats it) and I work from home (2-3 days a week) and I have never been without service in 1 year. My back up is a 3G Hotspot and I never have had to use it.
    They have been pretty solid on internet for me:)

    also....I had internet all night so it must of been isolated? who knows.....maybe a crazy neigbhor installing a fence or something...lol
    Make sure you don't call the charge. But make sure you call the foul on the scrum....

    You should switch to that ISP that has 100% uptime. I forget the name though.

    I think the only way to have 100% uptime is to have 2-3 providers for redundancy and UPS on your Router/modem. The 3rd provider would be a Hotspot.

    This is like the second Monday this has happened in the last 3 weeks. What is the 3G Hotspot you are talking about. Never heard about it before.

    1. I understand why you are upset. You missed Raw. It's ok, it wasn't that great. Cena had an amazing speech but thats about it.

    2. If your cable goes out, just look at your signature.

    It's wasn't that. Who cares about the cable, I need my internet. I need my CF fix and right now I'm the host of the CF mafia game so everyone there is counting on me to be around.

    Its a device or your even built into your cell phone that kind of works the same way your home router does.. You connect to it with your laptop and some credentials . Then you are using the internet via sprint/verizon/att etc....

    Great backup plan for me. I honestly just use it in the car on trips when you have a couple kids with devices or traveling.

    And if you think mediacom blows, be prepared to grab your ankles for how much cell phone companies charge for the use of these devices.

    Depends.....IF you have smart phone with internet etc..check to see if it allow you to turn it into a hotspot. Some providers let you do it....Some charge you $10/month etc...

    Its a great backup plan especially when my work pays for it anyway.


    To be honest you must just have issues with something with your equipment, yard, or neighborhood.
    Make sure you don't call the charge. But make sure you call the foul on the scrum....

    I am not paying them an extra $5 a month so they can fork the money over to the B"one"G Ten and the loser HOKs so they can show replays of Ohio State games 8 hours a day.
