Top Discounts You're Missing on Mediacom
Mediacom includes free eero WiFi equipment during the promotional period, but once the price lock expires, that equipment starts costing $10 to $15 per month. Here is how to avoid Mediacom's equipment fees and keep your internet affordable long-term.
Mediacom's promotional pricing includes eero WiFi equipment at no additional charge, which is one of the reasons the $30 per month Internet 300 plan is so attractive to new customers. However, this free equipment benefit is tied directly to the promotional period. Once the two or three-year price lock expires, Mediacom begins charging $10 to $15 per month for the same WiFi equipment you have been using for free. This equipment fee is in addition to the higher post-promotional plan rate, and it represents one of the most significant hidden costs on a Mediacom bill. The Advanced WiFi 6 and WiFi 7 systems can cost $15 per month, and additional mesh extenders carry separate charges of $10 each. Over a twelve-month period, these equipment fees can add $120 to $180 to your Mediacom costs. For customers who are comfortable managing their own network, purchasing a compatible modem and router eliminates these recurring charges permanently.
