Mediacom Communications Ramps Up Speeds with Debut of 5-Gig Internet
Mediacom Communications today announced the launch of its new 5-Gig Internet service, the fastest residential speed tier ever offered by Mediacom, reinforcing its continued investment in next-generation network capabilities to meet evolving consumer needs.
The new 5-Gig Internet service is now available to more than 500,000 homes passed throughout dozens of communities in Alabama, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, and Minnesota. Mediacom expects to extend 5-Gig availability to more than one million homes by year-end as part of its multi-gig deployment strategy.
Mediacom’s multi-gig capabilities are enabled by its fiber-rich network architecture, which extends fiber deeper into neighborhoods and closer to homes, enhancing speed and performance without major construction or disruption.
“Through continual buildout and investment over the past 30 years, Mediacom has created one of America’s most diverse, capable, and fiber-rich networks,” said JR Walden, Mediacom’s Chief Technology Officer. “Our network now spans more than one million fiber miles, enough fiber to stretch to the moon and back more than twice. The scalability of the infrastructure we’ve deployed allows us to bring these next-generation speed tiers to our customers with minimal disruption to the communities we serve. Our new 5-Gig service leverages next-generation DOCSIS technology enhanced by AI to deliver greater reliability, resilience, and performance.”
