It once again appears as though the problem has been resolved. The Mediacom Social Networking Team continued to work diligently on this problem and posted a message to their forum this morning that it had been addressed. After opting in then back out of the hijacking services per Mediacom's instructions, I am unable to reproduce the redirect behavior on either a home or business account. MediacomBryan posted the following explanation as to the cause of the problem and gave me permission to quote it here:
The main database that houses the modem list for opt outs wasn't communicating properly with all the systems involved. Once the communication issue was repaired, the opt-in then opt-out process was required so that all the systems would get a new message to remove your modem from their respective list(s).
I will update this blog if the problem reappears.
I noticed over the weekend that it wasn't respecting my opt out either. I'll check tonight when I get home.
ReplyDeleteJust FYI, Mediacom is still hijacking 404 pages, even if you are opted out of everything.
