Mediacom Communications has announced the company now has more than 50,000 combined residential and business customers subscribing to its 1-Gig Internet (1,000 megabits per second) service offerings, the company said.
In 2017, Mediacom began systematically launching gigabit Internet services as part of an aggressive 3-year, USD 1 billion capital investment strategy. By the end of that same year, Mediacom had become the first major US cable company to launch 1-Gig Internet across its national network.
Earlier this year, Mediacom joined with NCTA — The Internet & Television Association, CableLabs and other industry partners in announcing plans to expand beyond the current gigabit offerings to a more powerful 10G technology platform. The next great advancement in broadband, 10G will combine greater capacity and lower latency with symmetrical 10 gigabit per second speeds. With field trials planned for 2020, Mediacom is positioned to once again be at the forefront of the next Internet speed revolution.
Mediacom Communications Corporation is the 5th largest cable operator in the United States and the gigabit broadband provider to smaller markets primarily in the Midwest and Southeast. Through its fiber-rich network, Mediacom provides high-speed data, video and phone services to nearly 1.4 million households and businesses across 22 states. The company delivers scalable broadband solutions to commercial and public-sector customers of all sizes through Mediacom Business, and sells advertising and production services under the OnMedia brand.
