As part of its multi-gig deployment strategy, Mediacom is working to extend 5 Gbps Internet to more than one million homes by the end of the year.

Mediacom CEO **Giuseppe B. Commisso** explained the launch of the 5-Gbps broadband reflected the company’s approach and commitment to the customers Mediacom serves. [He said](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260527977081/en/Mediacom-Communications-Ramps-Up-Speeds-with-Debut-of-5-Gig-Internet?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com), “Our ability to scale high-speed connectivity efficiently across our footprint positions Mediacom as a leader in delivering multi-gig broadband to smaller markets across America.”

“Our network now spans more than one million fiber miles, enough fiber to stretch to the moon and back more than twice,” Mediacom CTO **JR Walden** said**.** He explained that the amount of deployed infrastructure allows the company to bring next-generation speed tiers and minimal disruption to customers.

Gigabit tiers include Wi-Fi 7 powered by eero, the latest generation of Wi-Fi technology. The advanced Wi-Fi system ensures that fast, reliable connectivity reaches every corner of the home to eliminate dead zones and enable seamless streaming. Connection is also enhanced with the provider using AI-enhanced DOCSIS, the latest cable technology paired with AI to increase performance and enhance network reliability.
