Interpreting Your Xtream by Mediacom Speed Test Results
Common Internet Speed Vocabulary
How the Xtream Internet Speed Test Works
While a fast Internet connection is ideal, your device can only process so much data at once. Even under ideal conditions, older devices may not have the capacity to handle great speeds, especially over WiFi.
In general, you can expect:
- Modern computers, released after 2010, have an expected WiFi speed of 150-500 Mbps.
- Modern phones and tablets, released after 2010, have an expected WiFi speed of 75-300 Mbps.
- Older computers (those released between 2007-2010) have an expected WiFi speed of 75-150 Mbps.
- Older phones and tablets (released between 2007-2010) have an expected WiFi speed of 25-75 Mbps. Older devices may have considerably slower connection speeds, which means that you may struggle to get the connectivity and data transfer you need even under ideal conditions. The newer your device, the better the connection speeds it can usually handle, which leads to faster downloads and uploads as well as smoother video connection.

Tips for Improving Your WiFi Speed
If you aren’t satisfied with the results of your Mediacom Internet speed test, there are some tricks and troubleshooting tips you can use to improve your results and boost the speed of your Internet connection.
- Get closer to your router or relocate it. The further your device is from the router, the slower your connection will typically be.
- Get rid of unnecessary WiFi connections to old and unused devices, and update your WiFi security.
- Reset your devices, including your modem and router. Resetting them can help restore smoother overall function.
- Update the firmware on your router. By using the latest version, you can get a better signal and a more effective connection.
- Replace your equipment, if needed. Modern equipment often functions at a higher speed--and connects better with your devices.
- Extend your network, if needed. Sometimes, you may have dead spots in your home where you don't have the connectivity you need. Use WiFi extenders, like eero, to boost your network and remove those dead spots.
Finding the Perfect Internet Type to Match Your Needs
Different types of Internet sources have different speed capabilities. Equipped with this information, you can choose the Internet service provider (ISP) that best meets your needs.
Broadband
All forms of high-speed Internet fall under the umbrella term “broadband.” When it comes to connecting to the Internet, having a dependable broadband connection is essential. Xtream’s high-speed Internet plans are designed to provide you with the best online experience possible.
Fiber Internet
For the ultimate speed, Xtream offers fiber Internet in some locations — a type of Internet that sends data through fiber optic cables. Fiber Internet plans support the fastest download speeds, making it the ideal solution for gamers who require low latency and high throughput.
Cable Internet
Cable Internet is a popular and reliable option for many Internet users. With its high download speeds and consistent coverage, cable Internet is perfect for streaming, online games, and other services. Xtream offers cable Internet plans to provide the speed you need at an affordable price.
DSL Internet
DSL utilizes existing telephone lines to transmit data and deliver a reliable Internet connection. While download speeds and upload speeds are generally lower than other Internet types, DSL is a good option for people in areas where fiber or cable isn’t available.
Satellite Internet
For those in rural areas, satellite Internet may be their only option. This type of Internet service creates a link between orbiting satellites and home satellite dishes. It is typically not as fast and may not offer as much coverage, but it can be an excellent resource in areas with limited Internet options.
