Take Action: MDU Communications
Regents Park residents: Please send the following email message to info@mduc.com:
I live in Regents Park in Chicago, a building where you provide cable internet access. Our connection is pathetically slow – worse than dial-up, in fact – and has been since your company began providing service on February 1. Please remedy this situation, immediately.
Sincerely,
[YOUR NAME]
MDU says they are “considering” raising our bandwidth to levels comparable to dial-up and they are “monitoring” the situation. If you want a change, send the above message – you can do that with one click – and call the following numbers every day until things change:
Regents Park: 773-288-5050
MDU: 866-286-9638
UPDATE: several people have expressed some confusion about this, but it was MDI, not MDU, which used to provide access at Regents. The companies are unrelated.

[...] I don’t want to speak too soon, but it looks like the connection problems I mentioned before have been resolved – our internet access is truly flying right now. [...]

[...] As I have posted before, the allegedly broadband internet service provided by MDU at Regents Park (my apartment building) is mediocre, at best. It just went from mediocre to unacceptably awful. [...]
