Mediacom to boost internet download speeds for customers

MOLINE, Ill. (WIFR) - Over 900,000 internet customers will soon see faster download speeds, according to Mediacom.

For those with older modems, a newer model may be needed to feel the effects of the internet boost. Customers who lease their modem through Mediacom are encouraged to check with the company to see if they are eligible for a modem exchange.

The internet tiers getting a boosted speed are as follows:

• Access Internet 60 will rise to 100 Mbps, a 67% increase.
