I do live in the Tampa area and have been considering this. The reason for my post was to see if any other options were out there. Thanks to all who to took the time to respond. People like you are make this site worth visiting.Except for when it's not. I have HughesNet as a secondary ISP and in the evening (like now 7p EST), it's next to useless. During the day I can get 30Mb down and the ping is 300-400 ms less. When I'm playing around in the evening with various things, if I'm on satellite and one of my VMs starts to update, my internet access comes to a grinding halt.
To the OP, if you live in the Tampa area, that means you’re Spectrum former BHN. Under the new Spectrum Pricing, your base package would be either 60Mb or 100Mb for $60/month. You may be able to get a discounted rate for a year, Not sure if that’s more or less than you’re paying currently, but if it’s less, and you are a legacy Brighthouse plan, you may want to consider the new Spectrum Plans
That was my argument for bundling with Mediacom two years ago -- they saved me about sixty dollars a month. But two years later I have unbundled and gone back to DirecTV and Vonage although I stayed with Mediacom for internet because there's no reasonable broadband alternative in my Des Moines, IA, neighborhood. Reason: programming and picture quality for some sports channels I watched most often. I know -- I'm a sports fan, so I pay for the privilege. But Mediacom didn't and doesn't plan to offer MLB, NHL and NBA networks, and soccer and hockey on NBC Sports network and other channels (CNBC, USA) is frequently deathly pixilated. Plus, after two years, they raised my rate so that I'm only paying about twenty more a month for nonbundle than I would for bundle. If Mediacom cable was 100% comparable with either Dish or DirecTV I would have stayed.
Same here. Except, I had to buy my own router and modem- to escape the monthly fees on both ,when it was still TWC.
