<human>: So I got my Mediacom (Cable and Internet) bill today and it was over $100 and that was the last straw. It used to be $75, and before that it was $60 per month. At this point we cancelled our service with them, however because they are the only high speed provider in a 150 mile radius we had to re-sign up with my Girlfriend as the primary account holder so we could get the "Promotional" rate for Internet of $29.95/Mo (And we cancelled our Cable service, -$540/yr for Mediacom). So not only did we cancel a service, they have to send someone out to install our new service that is already installed with my own modem. 

I don't understand how a company can have such a terrible business model and still be around. How can I work to get a different ISP in the area with decent speeds?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Mediacom has a monopoly in my area on High Speed Internet and I want to try to get another provider to move into the area
