Another Night With No Mediacom Internet

Mediacom Internet is down. Again. Suddenly stopped. I was in the process of some VERY IMPORTANT work (playing team fortress classic) and BOOM, like a bullet from the night, the connection was dropped. Did they ever see the red light?  Over and over, scene by scene, like a recurring nightmare haunting my dreams, how could I prepare for what would happen next? No one should ever have to see a gamer such a mess. Its a miracle I lived, its a blessing no one died. By the grace of god above, I have USB tethering on my HTC Evo that enables me to post this



MEDIACOM, YOU SUCK

This Year, I'm Thankful For A Horrible ISP

Hi, is this 2011? Yes, this is 2002. I'm bringing you my internet speeds, courtesy of Mediacom.

Yesterday-

Today

How does Mediacom Suck? Let me count the ways....

Hey guess what! My Mediacom Internet service is 100% inoperable right now. Yep, thats right, we're paying for a service that we can't even use! Thats twice I've seen it down in the past 4 days. Once again, I'm relying on USB tether connection from my Evo to write this up.

I try to imagine a world where Mediacom controlled more than just a laughably terrible ISP... Imagine if they ran the sun- You'd only get sunlight for 6 hours out of the day, and some days, the damn thing just wouldn't even rise. Or imagine if Mediacom was in charge of your water services. Every third day, your shower wouldn't run, and occasionally it would deliver goat shit from the faucet in lieu of water. And best of all, you'd pay for it!

Mediacom, you suck.

Midnight Mediacom Sucks

Our Mediacom Internet Connection is OUT. It is NOT WORKING AT ALL.

I've hooked up my cellphone to my PC to post this through my phone's 3g connection. My speeds now are comparable to what Mediacom gives me on the average bad night.

Trick Or Treat, Smell My Feet, Mediacom Sucks

With only days away till Satan possesses our children and transforms them into sugar extractors, Mediacom is preparing for the holiday by sucking horribly.

Thats right folks, for only $65 dollars a month you can have a shit crap ISP that provides speeds from a decade ago! SIGN UP TODAY!

Here at MEDIACOM SUCKS, I strive to bring you a balanced view of how horribly Mediacom sucks. That's why I'm including a bonus screenshot today of Pingtest.net, who graciously rates Mediacom at a D.

Double Dose of Mediacom Sucks

Please keep in mind that I'm not around all day to check Mediacom speeds, and the results you see here just happen to coincide with the time I spend trying to use the internet.

When Mediacom speeds aren't sucking, they keep busy by NOT BEING CONNECTED ALL.

Another Day, Another MEDIACOM SUCKS

Sometimes you just need a good, fast, solid internet connection. Mediacom can't provide that for more than a few hours each day. Here's tonight's example of Mediacom Sucking.

Mediacom Sucks: Summer Edition 6

The first 6 editions of my Summer Series featuring the sucktitude of Mediacom were all taken during the previous weeks. My infinite rage and frustration led me to create this blog. Every time my connection acts 1998 on me, I will screencap a Speedtest  from speedtest.net and share my misfortune with the world.

Mediacom Sucks: Summer Edition 5

I could probably build my own ISP in the time that it takes to upload each one of these photos. And it would most assuredly work more efficiently than Mediacom's shit connection.

Mediacom Sucks: Summer Edition 4

Once again, another long wait to upload a simple picture. I'd once again like to remind you that Mediacom sucks. This is the year 2011, and they are providing speeds from a decade ago. For all you naysayers (someone always says NAY), no- I am not netflixing. I am not torrenting. I don't have people piggybacking off my connection. I'm not downloading copious amounts of 80s-era pornography, which is the best kind of pornography. It's just that my ISP is shit. Mediacom sucks.

Mediacom Sucks: Summer Edition 3

I have about 3 minutes to kill while I upload a 5MB picture to Imgur so I can post it here. I will use that time to remind you to never buy Mediacom internet service if you have the chance. It is terrible. I had better ping while playing Team Fortress Classic in the year 2000 than I do during select hours of the night.

Mediacom Sucks: Summer Edition

It is worth noting that Mediacom offers speeds from 2002 to allow me to upload the evidence that they are a horrendous ISP and should be shut down. This means it takes an extraordinary amount of time to painstakingly upload each picture. I'd rather have no service at all than have to rely on these idiots.

Mediacom Sucks

Mediacom is the most pathetic ISP in the United States. Paying for service that is advertised at 12mb/s gives you the full advantage of downloading at less than 1mb/s for a good percentage each day.

Mediacom internet is slow. Unbearably slow. If any ISPs came to Sugar Grove Illinois, they would easily be able to steal 80% of Mediacom's current customer base. Not only does Mediacom have slow internet, but often it has NO internet. It completely drops out for hours, sometimes days at a time.



This blog is dedicated to how terrible Mediacom is. They are the only provider in my area, therefore I have to use their own shitty services to let the world know how shitty they are.
