Mediacom’s mission, according to JR Walden, Mediacom's Group Vice President, IP Services, is to enhance its broadband customer's online experience. Mr. Walden went on to state in a press released issued earlier this month, "Over the past three years, we have increased the download speeds of our flagship product by more than five times. Our continuing enhancements to Mediacom Online have kept it the leader in our markets, making us a clear choice over DSL for value and service. Doing our part to bridge the 'digital divide,' we take great pride in making superior broadband services available to virtually every home in our markets, not only the major cities, but also the smaller rural communities we serve."
