Mediacom is letting it’s infrastructure rot while it waits for fiber access. Fuck them. I’ve lived under Comcast (Illinois), Verizon (DC), and Spectrum (St. Louis), and each had their own special brand of customer nightmarishness. Mediacom’s horror was its recent inclination to not repair essential infrastructure, its lack of affordable gigabit, and its skunkshit data caps. I’d prefer to not have to deal with any of those three ever again, but if the new guy can’t get billing live before it allows people to start making accounts, that smells like burning plastic to me.
