<title>[IA] Missing IPTV (KRIN) cable channels</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23940235</link>
<description><![CDATA[I noticed this morning that my three IPTV (KRIN) channels (811, 118, 119) are now missing through Mediacom cable, although I also tune broadcast stations OTA and they are still coming in fine that way.]]></description>

<title>[IA] [off topic] 3G network experience</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23934539</link>
<description><![CDATA[This is off topic from Mediacom but I want to try and reach anybody in eastern Iowa that has a 3G smartphone (iPhone or Android based). What is your experience with data and phone calls? Any I Wireless subscribers out there? Does the I Wireless mobile network in Iowa support 3G or EDGE?

I am considering an iPhone, which would be on the AT&T 3G network in Cedar Rapids, or a Nexus One, which would be on the I Wireless network.

edit: If anyone in eastern Iowa has Android 3G experience with Verizon, please reply. Verizon is not my frst choice though.

Thanks for any feedback.

<title>Moline IL: Malfunctioning congestion control.  Unuseable.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23935634</link>
<description><![CDATA[I've got a terribly frustrating problem that has been going on for over a year now.   Sometimes it disappears for a couple months only to come back.  Last time I complained on DSL reports it magically fixed itself.  Maybe I'll get lucky again.

Any TCP connection will eventually get throttled into oblivion after a few hours.   For example, an ssh connection will work fine.  An hour or two later, it will be so slow that I have to wait for the TEXT to display for several seconds between commands.  Eventually it will just stop working entirely.

Closing and opening a new session fixes this immediately. 

The most frustrating scenario is online games.  I get disconnected 2 or 3 times a night from any game I try to play. 

My speed is plenty fast, I regularly watch movies without problems.   But long lived TCP connections are being throttled and dropped on a frustratingly consistent basis.   Even connections with very, very little throughput.

This provider is great for watching movies and netflix, but unusable for online games.    If you're an online game player, don't buy mediacom in Moline IL.

(Just so nobody thinks otherwise, these problems happen with nothing else going on.  I'm not trying to play games and watch movies at the same time.)]]></description>

<title>[IA] Settings for Mobile Mail on LG phone</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23937769</link>
<description><![CDATA[I followed the directions I found posted here about incoming and outgoing settings for Mobile Mail.

I get this error message:

The SSL security certificate installed on your email server appears valis but could not be verified (S7128)

Accept this certificate and continue.

I click on OK and wind up back at the beginning.

Here are the settings I used:

incoming server   mail.mediacombb.net
Port 995   Use SSl
user name:  I put just the part in from of the @ symbol 
(although I think I tried it both ways)

outgoing server:  mail.mediacombb.net SSl

<title>[IA] Help with ongoing issue with walled garden page</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23933627</link>
<description><![CDATA[OK here the deal:
Recently, like within the last week my sister in law got mediacoms hsi well all was well for the first few days.  I wasnt here when they installed it.  But i was able to browse, download, and play wow perfectly fine.  

Now for the past 3 days when ever we try to access the internet the browser redirects me to the walled garden page.  Ive entered the info and so has the service rep with no luck.  Ive also plugged my laptop directly into the modem (to humor myself) and obviously still nothing. so i know its not the router.  My parents live about 3 blocks down the road and their internet is fine. So im thinking something is directly wrong with this modem or somebody behind a desk doesnt know what their doing.  

Does anyone have any idea what causes this issue, I saw another thread about this and someone replied and i believe ended up fixing the issue.  PLEASE PLEASE help me as im a college student and need internet, plus i am going nuts with out online gaming.

Thanks,
David]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In MN the Internet service went down for about 30 min around 1am.  Anybody know what happened?  The online phone system said my area was experiencing a data outage (the Mediacom VOIP phone kept working) .

I could only ping the first gateways (10.18.28.1 or 173.17.200.1 hop 2) and nothing else when it was down.]]></description>

<title>[IA] Rediculously slow speed for advertised 12/1</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23423717</link>
<description><![CDATA[Well, here I am finally after weeks of aggravation, posting my information for your folks' fine opinions. I'm not VERY saavy at this whole thing, but let me try to do my best...

I have (as advertised) Mediacom's 12/1 service. I can't remember getting anywhere even close to those speeds, when it comes to download, on more than one occasion since moving in and purchasing the service in May 2009. The majority of the time that I'm online, I randomly test because I can tell it's slow and I'm getting speeds around 1.5 - 5mbps. 5 being the generous top-end 3-5am timeframe that it decides to play nice and give me ok, albiet very sub-par speeds. I am using an RCA DCM425 modem, the kind mediacom supplied. I am also using a Belkin wired/wireless A/B/G/N/N+ router. I have tried connecting directly to the modem and through the router with no change in results.

My pings to video game servers are horrendous at best. I use the pingtest at www.pingtest.net and come up with mixed results. Some tests say my ping is ok, a score of B or C, and others have come back as D, my ping is horrible... I have called and called mediacom for weeks pleading with their service reps and sometimes supervisors for assistance, to no avail. Tomorrow marks the second service call in a week that they're making since I still have ludicrously terrible speeds. (please see below) The last service call was 2 days ago in which the tech replaced one of the cable wires to make full RG6 from tap to modem, which clearly had no effect. I use windows XP, which is fully updated. I don't have any firewall blocking any traffic. (My routers firewall is off) I'm seriously at my wit's end here and simply don't know where to go except to you folks, hopefully for some answers...

<title>[IA] To MAX Customers: Average Speed?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23535795</link>
<description><![CDATA[Using Speedtest.Net over the last two weeks, I average 10.08 Mb/s down. Upload is 2.19 Mb/s. 

If I am supposed to get 20 MB/s as a MAX customer, does my download speeds seem off base to you? I am particularly curious to know what other MAX customers see over a period of time on average. 

I am using a Mediacom supplied SMC SMC8013WG router. 

Thanks for any information.
