Mediacom in Des Moines

[AirWalke]

Anyone know if they're having issues with their high-speed internet in the Des Moines area, or statewide? I do realize that we just had an ice storm, but it seems like I'm having problems with my connection. I can't even load their website to see if there's any outage news. Goes normal speed, then begins to load a page very slowly, then times out... kind of a strange web browsing experience when half your sites won't load, then suddenly load perfectly.

My internet is fine, but i just lost both 13 and 813.

Damn, I hate seeing things like this when I'm switching back to mediacom in 2 days. My DSL didn't go out in 2 years.

Mediacom is definitely having issues with their internet right now (the problems for me started last night)

I generally have zero complaints about Mediacom's service, which is why I'm not pitching a fit about it. Just seeing if anyone else knew what was going on, and if it was indeed the ice bogging down wires and such.

Yup I'm having issues with my internet in Ames as well.

This makes those commercials about Dish not working in bad weather kind of funny.

Just for arguments sake, my DSL and Satellite are just fine. I have not lost satellite in years.

Mediacom in udale has been down since yesterday.

And on top of thAt their 800 tech support number is a constant busy signal.

recently switched out of my mediacom phone/internet and soon to be TV. Too expensive and far to unpredictable. too many phone outages.

It's a DNS issue of some kind, check the other thread for instructions on how to switch over to OpenDNS and you'll be right as rain.

My dish was all iced up tonight when I got home, but after a couple pitchers of warm water and sweeping the junk off, the signal came right on.

and sweeping the junk off, the signal came right on.

I have no idea why you would need to do that, nor do I want to know how that helped the situation.
