Mediacom Upgrades to 20 Mbps

Anybody who thinks high-speed Internet access is not being offered to rural customers should take note: Mediacom Communications, which serves 1,500 non-metro communities scattered throughout 23 states, is upgrading its top of the line 15 Mbps service to 20Mbps downstream, 2Mbps upstream, by the end of June 2008.

That isn't to say rural penetration is as high as it is in urban or suburban areas, or that the number of providers is greater or that speeds are higher.

It is to say that rural providers know they've got to do better, and most executives at most companies have plans to upgrade.
