Speed boosts across multiple service tiers

Back in the fall of 2020, Mediacom hosted a '10G Smart House' there, demonstrating new HFC network technologies and bandwidth-intensive apps such as 8K video and a light field display. One possible early candidate for future 10G upgrades is Ames, Iowa.

The company is considering similar upgrades in additional markets but wants to ensure it has enough equipment to support the upgrades before making more market announcements, a Mediacom official said in an emailed response to questions. Looking ahead, Mediacom will continue to deploy its 10G upgrades in other communities in that market in the second half of 2023. Mediacom said more than 30% of its West Des Moines network is already upgraded to the new technology, and it expects every home serviceable by Mediacom in the market to have access to the upgrades by the end of July. Mediacom's 10G approach includes a shift to a distributed access architecture, 'high-split' upgrades to beef up upstream bandwidth, and a network spectrum jump to 1.2GHz.
