<title>[MN] FSN Wild/Wolves not on HD</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23408335</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am wondering if anyone else is not receiving the HD broadcasts of recent Wild and Wolves games.  The guide indicated it should be on and a buddy with Comcast in the Twin Cities has said they have been on HD for him.

I called Mediacom around Nov 10th or so and they said it wasn't broadcast in HD.  I replied that it was as a friend on comcast was watching it atm.  They said it must be an outage of some sort and I got that hint that they knew nothing really.  I didn't press.

I am keeping a short list of games.  So far, I have only documented the 11/18 Wolves and 11/28 Wild game - but I haven't been catching all the games lately.  I don't remember the date of the game when I called the CSR but it was beg. November.

Thoughts?  Please post if you notice future HD "blackouts" as well.
Thanks,
Ben]]></description>

<title>Another midwest customer with atrocious speeds.  QWEST SOON!</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23405010</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi guys!  Used to love my mediacom but the past couple of months it has been performing pretty badly.  I used to consistantly get 14mbs download and my XBOX live worked like a dream.  

Now, I am getting between 900k and 7mbit (IF IM VERY LUCKY).  Also, the connection drops to nothing at times.  Sometimes I cant even get webpages to load at all.  The problems started a couple months ago and seemed to be improving but fell apart again a week or two ago.  Then, last night, after looking forward to some quality xbox time, I couldnt even play because the connection was so unstable.  

I have tried running straight off the cable modem and gotten the same results.  SOunds like this is popping up all over the midwest.  

I am calling Mediacom tomorrow.  They have one week to get this fixed and then Im switching to Qwest.  Qwest 20mbs just became available in my area and it is 50 per month vs the 65 per month I pay mediacom.  

Ill keep you all updated what happens.  This is pathetic service mediacom!  ]]></description>

<title>MediaCom has come a long way</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23408055</link>
<description><![CDATA[I must admit that I am very impressed with the quality and speed that I am getting from MediaCom. Since switching back to mchsi a year and half ago I have not had less than what has been advertised for upload and download speeds, except when they decided to switch from 8m download to 12m download. It worked wonderful for two to three weeks, but now it is back to 8m. Still not complaining because it is 2m difference from DSL in my area. However, I would really love to tell our DSL neighbors they should switch to mchsi. Our area switched to total digital last year and I can't believe from a video standpoint that, I must admit the quality is really good. 

Joel if you can tell me what I need to check to see if I can get back to 12m it would really be helpful.]]></description>

<title>Problem Resolved!?!?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23398780</link>
<description><![CDATA[Well, I'm going to keep monitoring it because today is a Holiday and everyone should be celebrating and with eating and being with family and friends, so they shouldn't be on the Internet right!?! LOL

Though, i don't think I've EVER gotten this fast of speeds with Mediacom.  I've been working with MediacomJoel and he's been very good about getting back to me with updates or responding to my questions and concerns.  I will keep monitoring this for the next week or two to see how it goes.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  I'm in Flandreau SD, and when I do a SpeedTest now, it thinks I'm in a different location now.  Are they re-routed things, well whatever they did I hope it lasts!

  

  

By the way, to put it simply, my problem that was going on was that my speeds basically sucked.  I have Medicom Max service (20/2) and they use to be for the past several months now always around 10mbs and under.. and around 9:00pm at night would average 1.5Mbs.  The pings also ranges from 70's to 100's.  So this will be great if these current results keep up.  Granted this is 10am CST so I'm sure not many people are using it at the moment, though last night it was still getting 20Mbs around 9pm.  I will keep updating this to let everyone know the status and if my problem has been resolved for sure.  I guess there is hope that they are actually fixing things so I guess everyone that is having problems keep on it and eventually it will get fixed.]]></description>

<title>[Cable HSI] Some Gmail e-mail being blocked upstream (again)</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23392748</link>
<description><![CDATA[One of my family members is getting occasional bounce-backs on their e-mails to my Mediacom e-mail address from Gmail lately.  Here's one:

Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We reco mmend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this  error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550-209.85.212.236 blocked by lda p:ou=rblmx,dc=mso,dc=att,dc=net
550 Blocked for abuse. Please contact the administrator of your ISP or sending mailservice . (state 13).

Is anyone else seeing this?

I mainly just wanted to warn those who are using Mediacom for e-mail.  This has happened before with Gmail, and Mediacom said it was AT&T's blacklist, and requested that I contact AT&T.  I did that and never got a reply.  Eventually the Gmail problems went away.  I will try contacting AT&T again as soon as I get some more information from my family member.]]></description>

<title>[IL] When the wife starts complaining...you know it&#x27;s a problem.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23376887</link>
<description><![CDATA[OK...here we are in Central Illinois (Le Roy), and we are on week 5 or 6 of crappy downloads speeds...and no luck from any of my calls to Mediacom.

When my wife starts to complain about not being able to stream from 
Netflix and VUDU, then you know we have a problem...scratch that...I have a problem.

  

  

This was taken at 8:15pm on Saturday, Nov. 21.

Our services fluctuates from 11mb to 3mb all the time....most of the time it hovers around the 4-5mb (It's very rare that I get the 11mb that I pay for...I usually only pull that down at 1am-2am).

Anyone else here from Central IL?  Having the same issues?]]></description>
