Mediacom Communications announced the company has launched multi-gig and symmetrical speed broadband services to over 2,400 households located in the rural Minnesota communities of Howard Lake and Winsted.
Utilizing breakthrough technology to enhance its 1.3 million-mile fiber network, Mediacom has created a more responsive end-to-end customer experience that prioritizes faster upload and download speeds, uncompromised network reliability, safe and secure connections, and lower latency.
Utilizing the new platform, Howard Lake and Winsted residents will be able to choose from the following Xtream Internet offerings from Mediacom:
-
Internet 300 tier with speeds of 300 Mbps down and 100 Mbps up. -
Internet 1 Gig Symmetrical tier with speeds of 1000 Mbps down by 1000 Mbps up. -
Internet 2 Gig Unlimited tier with speeds of 2000 Mbps down by 1000 Mbps up.
The scalability of these network improvements will seamlessly allow Mediacom to ramp up from the one and two gigabit offerings of today to speeds of 10 gigabits and beyond in the coming years. Since this new technology is delivered using Mediacom’s existing fiber-rich network architecture, it was not necessary to dig up yards to add bulky equipment or bury cables.
Mediacom is now able to enhance the performance of these speeds even further using Advanced WiFi, a whole-home WiFi solution featuring eero’s TrueMesh designed to deliver an exceptional Internet connectivity experience throughout the entire house powered by eero 7 technology. With the recent launch of Mediacom Mobile, customers can take their Mediacom service on the go while enjoying access to America’s most awarded wireless network.
Mediacom will also continue to offer a low-cost broadband plan called Xtream Connect with speeds of 100 Mbps down by 20 Mbps up. Priced at just $14.99 per month plus modem rental, if applicable, Xtream Connect provides qualifying households an affordable pathway to the internet and is available to any household in Mediacom’s service territory that participates in the National School Lunch Program, SNAP, Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, SSI, WIC, or certain other federal programs.
