Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	1. ORGANIZATION Basis of Preparation of Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements Mediacom Broadband LLC (“Mediacom Broadband,” and collectively with its subsidiaries, “we,” “our” or “us”) is a Delaware limited liability company wholly-owned by Mediacom Communications Corporation (“MCC”). MCC is involved in the acquisition and operation of cable systems serving smaller cities and towns in the United States, and its cable systems are owned and operated through our operating subsidiaries and those of Mediacom LLC, a New York limited liability company wholly-owned by MCC. As limited liability companies, we and Mediacom LLC are not subject to income taxes and, as such, are included in the consolidated federal and state income tax returns of MCC, a C corporation. Our principal operating subsidiaries conduct all of our consolidated operations and own substantially all of our consolidated assets. Our operating subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to make funds available to us. We rely on our parent, MCC, for various services such as corporate and administrative support. Our financial position, results of operations and cash flows could differ from those that would have resulted had we operated autonomously or as an entity independent of MCC. See Notes 8 and 9. We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The accounting policies followed during such interim periods reported are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are consistent with those applied during annual periods. For a summary of our accounting policies and other information, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for future interim periods or for the full year ending December 31, 2017. Mediacom Broadband Corporation (“Broadband Corporation”), a Delaware corporation wholly-owned by us, co-issued, jointly and severally with us, public debt securities. Broadband Corporation has no operations, revenues or cash flows and has no assets, liabilities or stockholders’ equity on its balance sheet, other than a one-hundred dollar receivable from an affiliate and the same dollar amount of common stock. Therefore, separate financial statements have not been presented for this entity. Franchise fees imposed by local governmental authorities are collected on a monthly basis from our customers and are periodically remitted to the local governmental authorities. Because franchise fees are our obligation, we present them on a gross basis within revenues with a corresponding operating expense. Franchise fees reported on a gross basis amounted to $5.6 million and $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $11.1 million and $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value	3. FAIR VALUE The tables below set forth our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using a market-based approach. Our financial assets and liabilities, all of which represent interest rate exchange agreements (which we refer to as “interest rate swaps”) have been categorized according to the three-level fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 820 — Fair Value Measurement • Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 — Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. Fair Value as of June 30, 2017 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Interest rate exchange agreements $ — $ 408 $ — $ 408 Liabilities Interest rate exchange agreements $ — $ 173 $ — $ 173 Fair Value as of December 31, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Interest rate exchange agreements $ — $ 1,089 $ — $ 1,089 Liabilities Interest rate exchange agreements $ — $ 1,763 $ — $ 1,763 The fair value of our interest rate swaps represents the estimated amount that we would receive or pay to terminate such agreements, taking into account projected interest rates, based on quoted London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) futures and the remaining time to maturity. While our interest rate swaps are subject to contractual terms that provide for the net settlement of transactions with counterparties, we do not offset assets and liabilities under these agreements for financial statement presentation purposes, and assets and liabilities are reported on a gross basis. As of June 30, 2017, we recorded a long-term asset of $0.4 million, a current liability in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $0.2 million, and recorded no current assets or long-term liabilities. As of December 31, 2016, we recorded a long-term asset of $1.1 million, a current liability in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $1.8 million, and recorded no current assets or long-term liabilities. As a result of the changes in the mark-to-market valuations on our interest rate swaps, we recorded a net loss on derivatives of $0.4 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and a net gain on derivatives of $0.9 million and a net loss on derivatives of $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

This repayment was funded by $231.8 million of borrowings under our revolving credit commitments and $60.0 million of capital contributions by our parent, MCC, which, in turn, received such contributions from Mediacom LLC on the same date. We recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $2.0 million for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, which represented the write-off of unamortized financing costs as a result of the repayment of Term Loan J. Bank Credit Facility As of June 30, 2017, we maintained a $1.085 billion credit facility, comprising: • $368.5 million of revolving credit commitments, which expire on October 10, 2019; • $140.1 million of outstanding borrowings under Term Loan A, which mature on January 15, 2021; • $576.0 million of outstanding borrowings under Term Loan H, which mature on January 29, 2021; As of June 30, 2017, we had $60.9 million of unused revolving credit commitments, all of which were available to be borrowed and used for general corporate purposes, after giving effect to approximately $297.9 million of outstanding loans and $9.7 million of letters of credit issued thereunder to various parties as collateral. The credit facility is collateralized by our ownership interests in our operating subsidiaries and is guaranteed by us on a limited recourse basis to the extent of such ownership interests. As of June 30, 2017, the credit agreement governing the credit facility (the “credit agreement”) required our operating subsidiaries to maintain a total leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of no more than 5.0 to 1.0 and an interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of no less than 2.0 to 1.0. For all periods through June 30, 2017, our operating subsidiaries were in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement. As of the same date, the credit agreement allowed for the full or partial repayment of any outstanding debt under the credit facility at par value at any time prior to maturity. Interest Rate Swaps We have entered into several interest rate exchange agreements (which we refer to as “interest rate swaps”) with various banks to fix the variable rate on a portion of our borrowings under the credit facility to reduce the potential volatility in our interest expense that may result from changes in market interest rates. Our interest rate swaps have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and have been accounted for on a mark-to-market basis as of, and for the three and six months ended, June 30, 2017 and 2016. As of June 30, 2017, we had interest rate swaps that fixed the variable portion of $600 million of borrowings at a rate of 1.5%, all of which are scheduled to expire during December 2018. As of June 30, 2017, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the credit facility, including the effect of our interest rate swaps, was 3.6%. Senior Notes As of June 30, 2017, we had $500 million of outstanding senior notes, comprising $200 million of 5 1 2 3 8 Debt Ratings MCC’s corporate credit ratings are currently Ba3 by Moody’s, with a positive outlook, and BB by Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”), with a stable outlook, and our senior unsecured ratings are currently B2 by Moody’s, with a positive outlook, and B+ by S&P, with a stable outlook. There are no covenants, events of default, borrowing conditions or other terms in the credit agreement or indentures that are based on changes in our credit rating assigned by any rating agency. Fair Value The fair values of our senior notes and outstanding debt under the credit facility (which were calculated based upon unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data that we determine to be Level 2), were as follows (dollars in thousands): June 30, December 31, 5 1 2 $ 205,500 $ 205,500 6 3 8 314,967 316,500 Total senior notes $ 520,467 $ 522,000 Bank credit facility $ 1,016,880 $ 1,135,633

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	11. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS In accordance with the FASB’s ASC No. 350 — Intangibles — Goodwill and Other We last evaluated the factors surrounding our Mediacom Broadband reporting unit as of October 1, 2016 and did not believe that it was “more likely than not” that a goodwill impairment existed at that time. As such, we did not perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. We last evaluated our other intangible assets as of October 1, 2016 and did not believe that it was “more likely than not” that an impairment existed at that time. Because we believe there has not been a meaningful change in the long-term fundamentals of our business during the first six months of 2017, we determined that there has been no triggering event under ASC 350 and, as such, no interim impairment test was required for our goodwill and other intangible assets as of June 30, 2017.
