Mediacom continues to offer state -of -the -art telecommunication services to our
customers. Unfortunately, certain operating costs continue to rise, especially in the areas
of programming, fuel and technology improvements. As a result, it is necessary to adjust
certain cable service rates, effective on or about May 1, 2010. The specific changes are
outlined below:
Service Old Rate New Rate Increase
Directory Assistance $1.75 $2.50 $0.75
Voicemail $4.95 $5.95 $1.00
Digital Plus Package $10.00 $12.00 $2.00
HBO ala carte $14.95 $16.95 $2.00
Digital Video Recorder Service $9.95 $10.95 $1.00
Additionally, there will be a $2.00 increase adjustment made on packages that include
HBO as well as a $2.50 increase on all late fees. Digital video recorder service on both
the second and third boxes will increase by $1.00 each.
Mediacom has made the decision to replace HD Net and HD Net Movies with
Smithsonian HD on channel 750 and MGM HD on channel 751 in the HD tier effective
at the end of April 2010. The Smithsonian HD will be located on the same channel
number as HD Net and MGM HD will be on the same channel number as HD Net
Movies. We believe that customers will enjoy these popular new channels.
