Mediacom approved modems and what each tier needs
Mediacom needs DOCSIS 3.1 for its 1 Gig tier, while older 3.0 units still provision on lower plans. Owning your modem removes the monthly equipment charge.

Mediacom modems: questions
Does a better modem raise my data allowance?
No. Allowances are set by your plan, not your hardware. A modem changes speed capability only.
Some links earn a commission if you buy, at no cost to you. It never changes which modems appear or how they are ordered. Device lists come from Mediacom's own pages and change without notice — check before purchasing.
