Mediacom Begins Launch of Multi-Gig Services in Illinois' Quad Cities

"Utilizing breakthrough technology to enhance the company's fiber-powered network, Mediacom is creating 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. Mediacom has begun activating the new network on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood basis, with nearly 30,000 homes already upgraded. Mediacom expects to complete all areas in the Quad Cities market by end of next year. Residents can track the progress of the project using an interactive mapping tool. Utilizing the new platform, customers 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 per second and beyond in the coming years. Since this new technology is delivered using Mediacom's existing fiber-rich network architecture, it will not be necessary to dig up yards to add bulky equipment or bury cables."

Mediacom is launching multi-gig and symmetrical broadband services in the Quad Cities, covering Moline, East Moline, Rock Island, Davenport and Bettendorf. The upgrade uses breakthrough technology on a fiber-powered network to improve upload and download speeds, reliability, security, and latency. Deployment is happening neighborhood-by-neighborhood with nearly 30,000 homes upgraded and completion expected by the end of next year. Customers can track progress via an interactive mapping tool. Available Xtream Internet tiers include 300 Mbps/100 Mbps, 1 Gig symmetrical (1000/1000), and 2 Gig Unlimited (2000/1000). The platform scales to 10 Gbps and beyond without new digging and offers Advanced WiFi powered by eero 7. Mediacom Mobile enables on-the-go access to the service.
