Who are Mediacom’s competitors?
Due to its wide coverage area, Mediacom has a number of large competitors, including Xfinity and CenturyLink. In theory, you can get more from these other providers: faster internet from Xfinity, or more channels from AT&T’s partner DISH, for example. However, in practice, most people likely won’t need the extreme top-tier package, and so Mediacom compares more favorably. Mediacom also tends to offer lower prices at the start of its contracts, though these can increase significantly after a few years.
Canceling Mediacom service?
If you’re canceling Mediacom service, you’ll need to be mindful of your remaining contract term. The early termination fees can be steep—up to $240, depending on your contract term and how much time remains on it.
