Quite user-friendly. And no app install required!
Mom, I’m sorry I haven’t posted pictures to the new gallery
But I'm hoping to upload at least a few soon.
Sporadic packet loss for last month with Mediacom Internet service
I had planned to post the following on the Mediacom Support forums, but was unable to register an account after triple-checking my e-mail address and requesting a new verification e-mail 5 times over the course of an hour. So I’m posting this here for public view:
I signed up for Mediacom service around 6 months ago. Once the setup was complete, service was flawless until early December.
