I have not noticed a difference. We also use the Embarq at work/office. If you are in our area come by the office and check it out. Now if I could get the worms and/or trojan horse's off my computer I would be a much happier camper...

Thanks for all the feedback. Little did I know that everything would go CRASH today! Got Mr. Kitty off to the airport and came back to find lots of red crosses on my whatchamacallit....the little picture things on the bottom of the screen? Anyway, I called Mr. K and did the turn off and unplugged dance. Then called Mediacom and got a really nice person to help. I had an internet connection, but the Linksys was messed up. So, I took a deep breath and called them... held for about 30 minutes and then got an angel in the Phillipines. An hour and 15 minutes later I have rebuilt this computer!!!! I don't think a tech person has laughed so much in their career. Can you imagine working with me...unplugging and IP addressing??? 
That's all...thanks for listening!

Yeah, I had to call India last week to get our Linksys fixed, too.
We talked for a while. The weather there was good and mr fix it was getting ready to go home for the day.
I don't love Mediacom.
I have had both and Medicom is faster. Also have medicom phone service and love it! :clap_1:
After switching, I have not noticed a difference in speed.....they seem
to be equal. However, I did get a "real" person at Embarq to help me out
with questions. I was appreciative of being able to talk to a real person and
not just a recording or on indefinite hold.....only to be disconnected a half an
hour later....can you relate?
I don't have Mediacom experience. I can say, though, that the Embarq DSL in the Eastern Lake area is slow 8-10AM and 3-5PM. I also have some intermittent dropouts where some sites work better than others. Wondering if we have some loss of net neutrality showing up on Embarq. The speed in general isn't so hot compared to the BellSouth DSL I have at my place in Memphis. Embarq seems to be about midway between dialup and BellSouth. To be fair, they told us when we were hooked up that our speed wasn't going to be so hot (out at the end of the line).
But, as others have said, the user support has been pretty nice.
What part of Seagrove are you in? I'm near Eastern Lake and not excited about my Embarq DSL.
I have Embarq phone, DSL & Dish satellite and am happy. Had Cox, HATED Cox.
The fastest speed you can presently get with Embarq in our area is 1.5. BUT, 5.0 is coming soon.
I have no experienced any outages or any real problems. I have it both at home and at the office.
Mediacom has a horrible e-mail problem. I send things to my clients and they often never receive them.

Most Definetly!!
Can't say as far as the speed goes, I had dial up before I moved here so anything is an improvement!!
As for the slower hours, I was TOLD that with Embark that it didn't matter how many people where on that it should not slow things down, and that with cable it would slow if it was a high traffic time- how true?? I do not know...
as mentioned above, sprint's fastest residential service currently is 1.5M. if/when they are able to provide 5M service, it will be 44.95/mo
mediacom's slowest residential service is 5M@49.95/mo
upgraded service 10M is 59.95/mo
