Mediacom Business is increasing broadband speeds for tens of thousands of its business services customers nationwide.

In 2016, Mediacom announced a 3-year, $1 billion capital investment plan to, among other projects, upgrade and enhance the capacity of its fiber-based digital network. Over the course of last year, Mediacom deployed DOCSIS 3.1-based 1 Gbps Internet across its national footprint, serving 3 million homes and businesses in 22 states.

"As a technology company, we know broadband fuels innovation and erases geographical boundaries of competition, particularly in rural America," said Dan Templin, senior vice president of Mediacom Business. "Because we expanded the top-line capabilities of our fiber-rich network, we are now able to significantly enhance all of our other existing service levels."

Effective April 1, Mediacom Business will unveil the next phase of the company's network improvements. Existing Mediacom Business customers in the 10 Mbps, 20 Mbps and 50 Mbps tiers of service will be upgraded to new 60 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 300 Mbps tiers, respectively, at no charge to the customer.

"America's heartland is fast becoming a hub of new economic development," said Templin. "With the new faster speeds from Mediacom Business, our customers will now have a distinct advantage over their competition."
