Mediacom Communications has introduced its new 5-Gig Internet service, marking the fastest residential speed tier in the company's offerings. This service is now available to over 500,000 homes in various communities across Maryland, including Bishopville, Ocean Pines, and Pittsville, as well as several unincorporated areas in Delaware. Mediacom aims to expand this availability to more than one million homes by the end of 2026 as part of its multi-gig deployment strategy. The company’s fiber-rich network, which spans over one million fiber miles, allows for enhanced speed and performance with minimal construction disruption. The 5-Gig service leverages advanced DOCSIS technology, augmented by AI, to ensure greater reliability and resilience. In addition, all Mediacom Gigabit tiers feature Wi-Fi 7 technology powered by eero, providing comprehensive connectivity within homes for activities such as gaming and 4K streaming. Mediacom’s Vice President of the Coastal East Region, Mitchell Arnevik, expressed excitement about this launch, emphasizing the company’s commitment to delivering advanced technology and reliable service to its customers.
