Mediacom has also replaced its Connect2Compete Plus service with a new and improved low-cost broadband plan called Xtream Connect which offers speeds of 100 Mbps down by 20 Mbps up. Priced at just $14.99 per month plus modem rental, if applicable, Xtream Connect provides qualifying households an affordable pathway to the internet. Mediacom is further enhancing this program by allowing customers enrolled in the Xtream Connect program to add landline phone service for just $5 per month. Xtream Connect is available to any household in Mediacom’s service territory that participates in the National School Lunch Program, SNAP, Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, SSI, WIC, or certain other federal programs.
“As media and entertainment consumption continues to shift and accelerate online, access to fast and reliable internet service has become more important than ever,” said Tapan Dandnaik, Mediacom’s SVP of Operations, Product Strategy and Consumer Experience. “From our fiber-rich network outside the home to our fast, reliable, and secure next generation Wi-Fi inside the home, our advanced services have been designed to seamlessly evolve as consumer demand grows. These significant speed changes are just the latest example.”
All of the enhanced plans announced today are in addition to the Xtream 1 Gig Unlimited services Mediacom offers across its national fiber-rich network and the Xtream 1 Gig Symmetrical Unlimited and Xtream 2 Gig Unlimited services the company is continuing to launch in a growing number of markets.
