How we measure: a real-world test to a neutral point on the open internet, not a server inside your provider network, so it reflects everyday speed and can read slightly below best-case on-network tests.

We record anonymized results (speed, latency, your provider and coarse location) to publish honest, real-world speed data by provider. No personal information is stored.

What to Expect from Mediacom

Mediacom’s fastest available plans reach 2,000 Mbps down / 1,000 Mbps up, and across its footprint typical available speeds are about 987 Mbps down / 54 Mbps up. These are advertised “up to” figures from FCC availability data, so no connection reaches them exactly. Run the test above to see what your own Mediacom line actually delivers.

Mediacom Measured Speeds

In real-world tests, Mediacom typically delivers around a median 265 Mbps down and 59 Mbps up across the plans its customers actually subscribe to.

Most tests land between 144 and 525 Mbps down. That spread mostly reflects which plan each household buys, not how the network performs.

Latency

Measured at the nearest Cloudflare edge, verified by network operator, and shown as a median so a few unusually fast or slow tests do not skew it. Because most customers do not buy the fastest plan, this median should not be read as what Mediacom's top tier delivers. Updated daily.

Providers available in your area come from our coverage data. "Available up to" is the fastest advertised plan; measured speeds appear once a provider has enough independent tests, otherwise we say "collecting" rather than guess.

Mediacom Speed Test FAQ

Why is my Mediacom speed lower than advertised?

Advertised speeds are “up to” peaks measured on an ideal connection. Real-world speed to a neutral point on the open internet runs a few percent lower, and Wi-Fi, older equipment, or peak-hour congestion lower it further. For the truest read of your Mediacom line, test over a wired connection.

How does ISPReports measure Mediacom speeds?

Tests run against the nearest of Cloudflare’s edge locations, so the result reflects your access network rather than a server inside Mediacom’s own network. We verify each result by network operator, aggregate it as a median (not an average, which a few fast tests would skew), and only publish a provider’s measured speeds once enough independent tests exist. We do not accept provider-submitted numbers.

Is Mediacom good for gaming and video calls?

Run the test above. The connection-quality grade reads latency under load and packet loss, which determine whether calls and games stay smooth, beyond the raw download number.
