Since I'm a Mediacom customer, this Press Release really rocks:

MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. --(Business Wire)-- May 5, 2005 -- Mediacom Communications corporation (Nasdaq: MCCC) today announced it plans to increase the maximum download speed of its flagship residential Internet service from 3Mbps to 5Mbps, at no additional charge to customers. Mediacom plans to also introduce a premier Internet service with maximum speeds of 10 Mbps download and 1Mbps upload. Both Mediacom Online services will include a free package of PC security tools, and free access to premium content and other featured programming. Customers can expect to see these upgrades within the next 90 days.

The 10 Mbps service includes a wireless router and I've heard rumors that is will run about $70 a month. If you're in an area with Mediacom and don't have cable internet yet, I don't know what you're waiting for?
