Maybe one day you will create something and we can steal it from you…hopefully you share that same view point then

That is photo shopped, there slogan use to be “delivering on the promise”, and was changed at the first of the year to ” The power to simplify”, it has never been “on your side”…. but i dont agree with there 3 strike policy

The Mediacom pricks blocked me without DMAC notices! The last little weasel I talked to a Mediacom said I had received the letters! I never received any letters from them until after I disconnected their service myself!!!

Its amazing how many people are up in arms about this, but how many of these “victims” are actually vioating the TOS that comes with the service. Its a joke how much society has degraded into this need for instant gratification and no longer feels it necessary to work for something.

So tired of Mediacom’s service as a whole but this is even worse. How do we let a monopoly run the ISP’s here in Iowa and pay outrageous prices on top of it?? The worst part is they destroy you financially if you cancel early and not to mention you have no other option for high speed Internet after them.

Mediacom is claiming that my parents had
downloaded a copy of Inception from Warner Brothers. Because of this
They are claiming that due to the DMCA they “have to” disconnect my
parents internet access. Now I have done some digging around on this
topic and have come to find out that the ISP’s claim is false. No where
in the DMCA does it state that an ISP must disconnect a user over a DMCA
complaint. When I pushed Mediacom over this issue they claimed their
hands are tied. When they receive a complaint they must turn off the
user’s internet access because they don’t have a choice or say in the
matter. This I find very troublesome. how ever as to Mediacom’s claim
that my parents downloaded this movie, not to insult my mother but she
lacks the mental ability to be able to understand how to even download a
movie or use P2P software. My father is just lucky enough just to start
the machine and that’s it. Now granted I don’t know if this is just a
bogus DMCA or the fault of a malfunctioning router that allowed someone
to get on to the wireless signal. Either way I feel that this is bull
shit of the highest level for an ISP to be acting in such a way. Now I
have filed a counter notice on my mothers behalf to their “Mediacom
Internet Enforcement Team” “[1] dmcaabuse@mediacomcc.com”
I have also called their number listed on the paper they sent her,
(888)759-6135, how ever it only leads to a customer service rep. who
claims they don’t have the number to this department. how ever I feel
that because the counter notice was in a PDF format I think it was auto
trashed as spam. If anyone can help me on how to fight this, to a lawyer
who will be willing to help out please send me something.

Mind you This took place back in 2010, how ever it’s bullshit still stands. My mother can only get internet service by having my name on the account. In her area it’s either Mediacom or 56k dial up.I’ve tried to contact the EFF about this how ever the ones i got a hold of over there seemed like they didn’t care about it. If any one knows a good lawyer that would love to win a rather easy case please feel free to drop their number so i could call them
