[Cialug] Mediacom 10:1 offering

[Nathan C. Smith]

One of our employees said they are offering this right now:

"But they are having a deal FOR NEW CUSTOMERS ONLY, through the weekend I
think, where you can get digital cable combined with high-speed internet
through Mediacom for about $60 a month for a year. If you are interested or
know anyone who is, I put some fliers on the table in the kitchen. I think
the offer expires this weekend and you have to call the guy's number listed
on the flier to get the deal. Tell him I sent you (no I don't get anything
for it:) but I told him I thought it was such a good deal I would tell
people at work, and he is trying to put his kids through college."

What are they charging now?


The monthly charge is fine.  For my area it would be $69 on its own or $59
bundled with cable TV (which is what I would do).  However, they normally
wave the install fee for new customers and they currently aren't offering
that with the new service.  That would run an extra $140, which is completly
insane.  As a new customer I also would want to get one of those 3 or 6
month promotions.  IE - Sign up for Cable TV and Internet and we'll throw in
HBO or whatever for 3 months free, or we'll drop your price for 6 months or
whatever. 

I'm sure they'll start some promotions rather soon.  I doubt they'll have
many people picking up their new service if it costs them $140 just to get
it setup.
