RE: Rate Adjustment
Dear Mr. Firntahl:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that effective on or about September 1, 2016, Mediacom
will be adjusting the monthly rental pricing for our digital transport adapters (DTA) as follows:
Product: Old Rate: New Rate: Net Change:
Standard Definition DTA $.99 $1.99 $1.00
High Definition DTA $1.99 $2.99 $1.00
As you may recall, Mediacom introduced DTAs to help our customers with older televisions
continue to receive their television channels as we transitioned our Broadcast Basic and Expanded
Basic video lineups from analog to digital. Recently, Mediacom enhanced the functionality of the
DTAs by introducing a new on-screen guide. This on—screen guide allows customers to easily
explore TV programming right from their remote control and get information on the shows they
want to watch.
Depending on the terms of their contract, certain customers on promotional rates may not be
impacted by these DTA pricing changes until the end of their promotional period.
In addition, Mediacom will be combining its high-speed internet modem and EMTA phone adapter
equipment charges into a single data and phone modem charge. The standard monthly rental price
for data and phone modems will be $7.50 beginning September 1, 2016. Customers not wishing to
lease a modem from Mediacom always have the option of buying their own compatible modem at
retail.
If you have any questions please call me at 319-395-9699 ext. 3461 or e-mail lgrassley@mediacomcc.com .
Sincerely,
