My experience with Mediacom as a long time customer has been excellent. Recently I discovered that I had very outdated equipment and after a phone call it was taken care of. I wish there was some type of notice that would go out to your customers when these things or updates occur. I still feel that me internet is slow but at this point it is what it is. Every time I have had the issue address I get different responses and things remain the same. It's working good enough for now but I believe it could be much better.

Was trying to work out some sort of deal because my contract of 2 years ended, and I was thinking of changing to a different carrier if I couldn't get a better price but the first couple people I talked to didn't care if I stayed or not and said they couldn't help me and the third person I talked to said (I guess I just kept trying before I changed) that I needed to talk to a loyalty person so I talked to them and they said they couldn't help me and then I got a call back to review my last phone call and it said if I wasn't happy to call a certain number and when I did I reached a guy that said he would give me a deal and he did. In the past I got a letter saying that Mediacom had changed its policy and was not going to play these games of having you have to switch but would work with you before you did that. And then after you switch and sign with someone else you suddenly have all these deals to offer me when it's too late. Just glad it got resolved before it was too late.

Technician successfully repaired LAN line but we now are having trouble with losing internet and printer connection. Also lost our T-Mobile CellSpot to the internet and now have no cell service. Neither problem existed before repair. We run a small business out of our home and are very desperate for a fix. We replaced the CellSpot with new one but no success. Our previous service has been outstanding!! Thanks.
Good afternoon Gerald,
We sincerely apologize about any service issues that you might still be experiencing. For the printer, you want to make sure it’s on the 2.4ghz network and not the 5ghz network if you’re connecting via wireless. Are your other wireless devices connecting to your network? If so, you would have to contact T-Mobile to see why your CellSpot is not connecting to the network when all other devices are. If internet though is dropping on all devices, we can setup a follow up tech visit to see what else might be causing any intermittent issues. If you would like to setup a follow up tech visit please call us anytime at 855-633-4226 or text us at 66554. We appreciate your valued Mediacom business, have a nice day!

You are always advertising cheap starter rates for new customers and jacking my rates up every year. I have been a loyal customer since 1986 and paid a lot of $ to you over the years. WE have been retired since 2006 on a fixed income. I would like to pick the channels we would like to watch only paying for them. I also get many internet specials from you and others. We don't use it for much more than email and news, why so expensive?
Good afternoon Robert,
Thank you for your review and long-time valued Mediacom business as it greatly appreciated. We do sincerely apologize about any pricing concerns that you have. If a customer is not paying full price rate for a service or services, they would be under a promotion. All our bundles/packages increase annually until the service rate reaches full price. Once that does occur, the customer may always inquire and see if we have any lower rate packages available to them. As far as the channels, we unfortunately don’t have a la carte service. The closet thing we have to that would be if a customer had our internet service and then they would subscribe to a streaming service. Rates have risen due to increases in taxes, fees, surcharges, maintenance expenses, re-transmission fees, and other expenses. We try to keep them as low as we can while implementing faster internet speeds, 24/7 support, SMS texting, video-on-demand, and much more things that benefit the customer. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We are always here to help and hopefully give you a positive experience. Please call us anytime at 855-633-4226 or text us at 66554. Have a wonderful day!

The cost is far far beyond what one gets from Mediacom. I have let Mediacom know this more than once. I have talked with some of your representatives and asked and never got answered, how do you justify the cost for people who have been with Mediacom for all this time. As with the present global pandemic, we are in this thing together so why not lower your prices so that more people can be a part of Mediacom. This character and word count is a perfect example of what Mediacom asks of us who pay so very very much.

Half the time I can't stream. Have to reset the box and then there are no guarantees it will work. Due to this, I won't purchase a movie because I can't be sure I will be able to watch it. This happens at any time. It just keeps buffering and then I am told that I can't watch it now and to try later. I am connected by ethernet cable to the modem and pay for 200mp service. This should not be happening.

When I tape a program, I usually do it so that I can watch at my time of choice and also I can fast forward through all the ads. Recently I find that instead of actually taping a show that I tape every time, I am sent to "On Demand" to watch what I had already taped, instead of allowing me to watch the taped show. This is frustrating to me because "On Demand" does not allow me to fast forward. So now I am stuck watching all those ads. Why is this changing? Can I go back to the way it was about six months ago? I really dislike watching all the ads, and it wastes my time. I used to be able to get through an hour long show in about 40 minutes. Now, with the ads, it takes 60.

The building I live in use to receive free cable from Mediacom, all a tenant needed was a convertor box and you could watch cable. So when I moved in I got a TiVo box and internet, was paying for internet service and the equipment rentals. My bill was about 70 dollars a month. So after 7 months of having service with Mediacom the owner of my building decided they weren't going to pay for the tenants to have cable anymore so Mediacom came out and disconnected everyone's cable.
At the time I got internet service and the TiVo box they told me. I wasn't able to get a bundle package because of the building already receiving a cable signal. So when I called Mediacom to add cable TV to my internet service they tell me they can add it, but I'm gonna have to pay $200 a month. I ask them why their bundle package for new customers is only 90 dollars a month and they tell me I'm not eligible for new customer pricing. So I say to them, "None of this is my doing. This all has to do with you guys and the building owner, at the time I got service you wouldn't sell me a bundle package". They tell me nothing they can do about it.
I am so sick of companies offering new customers deals that are way better than what they offer their already existing customers. What that's says to me is once you're already a customer they could care less about helping you. For every customer that leaves Mediacom I'm sure 4 sign up for new service. I have exhausted myself contacting this person, that person with Mediacom explaining the situation, no one cares. I refuse to pay DOUBLE what a new customer pays. That is completely unfair.
I will be returning all of Mediacom's equipment and will be switching over to Dish or DirecTV, which is a real pain for me and I'm not happy about having to go to satellite tv, but since Mediacom is run by its computer system, according to Mediacom customer service, and there's no way for a human being to override certain things, they have left me no choice but to go somewhere else for my internet and television needs. I'd give their customer service and retention department a 0 if that was a choice.
I do apologize for any inconvenience. As you have mentioned there is equipment you have not returned to Mediacom. Since this is on the account and it is showing a past due bill. If the equipment is not returned it will show a past due balance. After the equipment is returned or paid for and if the account has been disconnected for 6 months. At that time, we could offer promotional pricing. We look forward to assisting you in reestablishing an account with Mediacom. Mediacom appreciates your business.

I’ve had service since February of ‘19. I’ve had more issues than I haven’t. Went 2 months without a hitch and June of ‘19, my speeds dropped to 50%. I pay for the 200 and I’m lucky if I now (currently) run at 35Mbps. I have tried to work with them on fixing it and still, they play games around the problem. Multiple modems and techs later, still no resolution. Refuse to pay the bill now. Switched to 500Mbps and I get 160Mbps. They won’t admit that I’m not being provisioned my services properly and when I have asked multiple time to have a supervisor come out to my house to oversee the problem, they never come.
Seems to me that they enjoy handing out free services because they haven’t got a payment in 3 months from me and my bill hasn’t increased in dues amount. Maybe Corporate will finally step in and look at the evidence for once. I also now see that I’m being charged for cable taxes as well which I won’t pay as I don’t have tv package. Seems they believe it’s ok to charge you a cable tax if your line doesn’t have a filter on it to prevent the delivery of cable services.
I do apologize you have been having speed issues with your service. I have reached out to you and left a voice mail message. I see that you have recently scheduled a disconnection of your service. I show that we had a maintenance technician complete work around March the 2nd. You had called back in and had declined for another service technician to come out to your home. To answer the question about the cable tax. I show that you are subscribed to wire maintenance and the tax for this would show up under the cable taxes. Mediacom appreciates your business.

Was forced to do business with this second rate provider 3 years ago, when forced to move away from the city due to disability seeking a lower cost of life. I live on a small pension, no SSI. They are all that is available here, & go out of their way to take advantage of the poor in these cities. Original bill was about $30 for internet only. Three years later, that same bill is now $92.30. FOR INTERNET ONLY. 3 times what I've ever paid for similar service. To top it off, the service is shoddy, crashes constantly, and has to be completely rebooted at least once nightly. Worst I've ever had. Speeds test regularly below 20mpbs LATE NIGHT! I've had techs out at least 3 times in the last year when service has completely locked up.
Searched online last night and charts detail how they are charging on average 5 TIMES more in these small cities, than what others charge for similar service in urban areas. These sharks prey on the rural poor. They offer the same internet to new subscribers for $19.95, so if you live in big city Carol Stream where there are 20 different ISP's, you can dump them for a month, and then resubscribe for that. In a small city you don't get that option. Called for a better rate today, and got a condescending cretin online that couldn't come up with anything other than a reduction of $11 off the bill, after it was just jacked up by about $50. These thieves should be run out of business.

We had TV with Mediacom and it got to where it was pricey. So my wife, who's a stay-at-home grandmama, got tired of it and she switched over to DirecTV. We've been pretty satisfied with them. But we still use Mediacom for our internet. They're unpredictable but so far, the internet is working okay. Other than that, after one of Mediacom's technicians came to the house, I got home one evening and my tools were gone. So, that kinda answered that.
Thank you for taking my call today. It has been well over a year since you have had cable television with Mediacom. We welcome you to look at offers that we have now that would give you a discount on your internet for combining cable television with us.

I'm dissatisfied with the guy who sold me the service and lied to me. He told me that it was gonna be free installation but it was not. Then the guy who came to do the installation walked in on me in my bedroom when the door was closed as I was changing. He didn't knock on my bedroom at all. He walked right in four times and even when he saw I was changing, he did not leave the room. Also, he stole my son's blue controller. It was missing as soon as he was gone. I reported it to Mediacom and they did nothing about it. So I'm very upset with Mediacom. But this is the only cable company around that provides the services that it provides. Customer service treated me okay also. Then as far as the service, the internet is fine and I basically watch the TV all day, the news or whatever is on, while doing stuff around the house.

I have all of Mediacom's services - internet, phone, and cable. They do have good services but I've had issues mostly with my internet service. Sometimes, it goes in and out. Sometimes, I also have problems with certain channels but the main channel that I have problem with is channel 24. The only thing I hate is that when someone has to come out, you have to wait so long for a technician. There was a problem with our cable and we had to wait 5 to 7 days for them to send someone out to assess the problem. Other than that, it’d normally be 2 to 4 days. I have problems with some of the representatives too. Sometimes, it kinda gets frustrating when they can’t help. Sometimes, they can troubleshoot from the office but sometimes, they won’t attempt to troubleshoot. They would just say they'd just send a technician out when I’ve been with them long enough to know that they can troubleshoot before they send a technician out. But overall, I have good experience with them.
Sometimes, the prices can be outrageous, but overall, it’s good because there’s no competition with them besides the other companies that we have here. I don’t really like the other company's service because they don’t offer the same thing that Mediacom offers. I also feel like their prices are ridiculous as well. But with Mediacom, at least you can get a combo and you’re satisfied with the price that the other competitors don’t offer.

If you are looking for Internet Mediacom is a good option but they care little for loyalty and will continually raise your prices. The internet itself is good but since they are the only high speed provider in most places they will overcharge you and have data limits. I advise using your own modem as well. They charge $10 a month to "rent" their modem. I happened to have a house fire and even though I paid them over $240 in rental fees for their modem which only costs $139 they charged me $139 to replace the lost modem.
I do apologize for the loss of your home due to fire. I know this can be a stressful time. On your final bill that was mailed on February 27, 2020. The fee for the modem is showing. You should be able to submit this to your insurance as a loss of property. You do have an option as you mentioned to purchase your own modem. As soon as you contacted Mediacom of the fire on 02-11-2020 we did stop billing you for the service. Since the modem is a claimable charge due to damage or theft unfortunately the charge would still be sustained. Mediacom appreciates your business.

Television off. Called Office and was notified that a repairman could not be here for 5 days. That is unacceptable. It is particularly annoying in that outage occurs every 2-3 months and it is always a few days before someone can fix it. They would raise hell if you were a few days late in paying your bill but think nothing of not servicing your equipment for days. Each time they send a man out I ask for updated equipment and that never happens. Nice polite repairmen but they are obviously following company policy. I am satisfied with the product when it works. Internet is more stable and easier to customer fix when it is interrupted. Shop around before you buy this product. The broader problem is that there is not a good option.

I was customer from the time Mediacom came to my area until about three years ago. Service was always inconsistent and speeds NEVER reached the advertised speeds. This wasn't acceptable, but this was the only real option I had for service that also had unlimited usage. Once they started metering usage, this became completely unacceptable. I began monitoring my speeds more carefully. My service was initially 20mbps and I increased it to 50mbps to get a higher download limit. My speed never exceeded 12mbps, and was typically much less. Once another company began offering unlimited service in my area, I switched to them. I am getting 80mbps for around the same price and my speed rarely dips below 60mbps. Anyone in the Cedar Rapids Iowa metro area should be considering their other options.

Thank you for your review. We do apologize about any speed issues that you experienced. To gauge speeds, we normally hardwire an ethernet cable from the modem to a PC or laptop. This ensures we avoid any over the air interference (WiFi). We also try to make sure a customer is not going through a VPN, proxy, or customer DNS.

Apart from the terrible and spotty service and subpar speeds that no one seems to know how to fix, I recently had a tech come out who confirmed that there were service issues in our area, but while here found things to be working accordingly. They had the audacity to charge me for the service visit, and when I tried fighting it they directed me toward the service contract and pretty much gave me the finger. Unreal. This has been going on for over a year. They are the absolute worst service provider I’ve ever experienced.
Unfortunately, I did review the account and we quoted before the visit that if no problem found you could be charged a service call fee. When our technician ran the test with his meter he received as he quoted, "900 plus speeds. WiFi out of his router 300 to 400. But his device gets like 100". Per these notes that would confirm that it is your equipment. You own your own modem and if the equipment you have in your home does not have the specializations to reach 1 Gig service. It will not receive 1 Gig service it will delegate down to the speed the device can support. Mediacom appreciates your business.

I was with Mediacom for 3 years before I moved to a new place and din't need the service anymore. Ended up finding out I was paying a lot more than what they had originally said. That is how I got to learn that they hook you up with a good price and then they increase it over time! When I got my own place again I called around and once again Mediacom offered a competitive price. I knew they were going to try to hike up my prices again so I told the representative that if they were going to do that then I didnt want their service. They said I could call after a year so they could find a 'new and better deal' for me.
A year has gone by now and they are hiking up my prices. So I called the service line to find the 'new and better deal' they had promised. Surprise surprise! there is no 'new and better deal'. If I want to keep my current price they are going to impose a 60 gig cap on my internet. Otherwise my price will go up to $60 and then eventually to $80. How is this acceptable when there are other providers in the area (CenturyLink) that offer the same or better internet speeds with no data cap at $49 with a price for life guarantee?
I tried to give Mediacom a chance to retain my business but they didn't even try. I either take the 60 gig cap on my data or find someone else. Well guess what? After my call to Mediacom today I called Century Link and they were happy to have my business. Save yourself the trouble, and the price hikes, by going to CenturyLink from the get go!
I have found your account and reviewed your billing. You are a tenant account which means you get a group discount with your apartment that is handled by your apartment for cable. I show that your price is going from $39.99 to $47.30. The full price for Internet 60 is $69.99. You also have 400GB of data to use. If you went over the 400GB it would be $10.00 for every 50GB you go over. Hopefully that clears things up a little on your billing. I wish we could keep our prices as low as they were 7 years ago. But with increases in operating expenses unfortunately the overall cost has increased. Mediacom appreciates your business.

But I was kind of hopeful because I’ve seen them putting in fiber in this area. Other than that, they do respond when we call up. I’ve called a few times and they’ve been able to deal with the issue on the phone and reboot the system.
I want to thank you for your patronage. I do apologize for the service issues you are having. I do show in the last 30 days in your area Mediacom has been doing work. Hopefully this will provide you with marked improvement. You can text Molli (66554). It will confirm if there are any outages or work being done in your area. If not, we can also troubleshoot and schedule a visit if necessary. Our customer care department is open 24/7 for you as well. Mediacom appreciates your business.

Mediacom Cable is the only franchise approved in our area so I went with them. A couple of months ago, I had a TiVo system that didn’t work. It took almost two plus weeks for Mediacom to get a service person here. They said they needed to order a new box. When the tech got here, he worked through it, but it took him quite a while. Apparently, he didn't have a lot of experience. Not that he didn’t try. He called and they diagnosed it a lot from off-site. But in the end, after tinkering around for quite a while and driving across town to pick up a different box and to bring it, it turned out that it had gone dead. It just wore out. I could’ve just gone across town, pick the box up, brought it back, and hooked it up.
I talked to their rep about the cost of the big issue recently and they put me on a priority customer plan. It's a preferred loyalty thing and that reduced the price quite a bit. Somewhere in the neighborhood of $40 a month more. But they didn’t tell me the TiVo was included in the first three months on that plan for free. So at three months’ course the thing jumps up $15. And then the next month it was $6, and then the next month it was around $10. So three months in a row there was an increase and it was just for the base. They said a supervisor would call me. And I’m still waiting for that call and it has been a month now.
So far, we’ve had a few disruptions, but not long ones, from weather or adjustments they’re making. The people that have been here have always been nice and respond to things in the local office. But a lot of times they can’t do anything, because they’re basically a sales office. You can go in if you need a new piece of equipment. You can get it out of their store by requesting it. But the servicing was like they were overwhelmed with the number of customers. They couldn’t get a service person here for that long. They did give me a discount though on the Internet part of the package. So I’m just sitting here waiting ‘til September looking at alternatives. We have a very good local service in this market area, but since they’re not franchised at Marshalltown, I can’t access it. But if I could, I would.
I just wish they would respond. When they tell me a supervisor is gonna call, I assume that means they’re gonna call. When they told me they were giving me a good deal on the price but didn’t tell me that that includes something that’s gonna go up automatically in a few months, I told them, “We don’t have an agreement here, because you didn’t fully disclose the terms of this thing. So don’t talk to me about this is a contract because it’s not.” I worked my whole career in working with consumer stuff, developing projects, so I know a bit about what isn’t enforceable. They just don’t care. But I’m in a position where when I shop for a price and I’m given one, I expect that that’s what it’s gonna be. I understand the price goes up every whatever period of time for the year, but the part about not fully disclosing the cost is not gonna get them any customer service awards unless they hire a company to do it and say whatever they want.
I do apologize you had an issue with the TiVo equipment. I show there are adjustments that were given for the box being out. I have also forwarded the information over to the original representative's supervisor that changed your offer back in September. I let them know your concern that you were not explained the additional promotions that were given to you for 3 months which has caused confusion with your billing. Mediacom posted a notice on your 12/27 billing statement that the Local Broadcast Station Surcharge increased by $2.35 and the Regional Sports Surcharge increased by .04. We do work hard on keeping these rates down. To provide you with programming we deal with a lot of Broadcast Networks that are increasing their rates to us, as well as the increase in our own operating expenses. Mediacom appreciates your business.

We are in the south for just a short time. We're snowbirds and my aunt lives down here and my neighbors have Mediacom. There's no contract, too. With calling them on the phone and talking with them, they're wonderful. They're very helpful and knowledgeable and there's not a huge wait time, which is very good. But I don't find the menu on the TV screen as far as learning the TiVo and all that because it doesn't come with anything. As a senior citizen, it's a little more difficult. Younger people will be all on it and can get on the internet and figure out all that stuff, but the wording is different like OnePass means to record. I don't know why they don't just make the wording easier. I would like to see even a written manual.
Also, it seems like the equipment doesn't perform the way I was hoping it would. I only have it to compare to Time Warner Spectrum, and it doesn't even come close as far as that part. And it's been down like last night, we couldn't watch TV at all, and they're coming today. The internet was spinning. I'm glad there's no contract.
Thank you for choosing Mediacom for your communication and entertainment needs. I have attempted to call you and left a voicemail message.

When we moved here in our area decades ago, Mediacom was available so we took it. I haven’t had any trouble with them and the service is working well. But sometimes, the internet stops working all of a sudden and I don’t like that. The whole thing would be out and then I have to reboot it or they have to ping it. That’s the only issue that I’ve had with it. But a few years ago, they had a little fight with one of the other companies about they were gonna drop shows off. They were gonna drop the local stations and there was a company they had a fight with. They were gonna drop the local stations and people were real upset. I remember going down to the local Mediacom store and there was an Army guard there. That seemed like it was a little unnecessary to have all that. Other than that, the Mediacom representatives are very helpful and knowledgeable.

Mediacom is one of the few available in my area. There were other choices, but Mediacom was the better of the two or three. Their team members have always been extremely helpful. Several months ago, I was informed that I had a TiVo box as part of my plan. I do not know where that TiVo box is, and I’ve never used it. But I know that I have a healthy amount of internet connection because I have multiple people living here and I wanna make sure that I accommodated that. It occasionally drops, but overall, I don’t have a whole lot of problems with it. And I’m sure all companies drop here or there. To fix it, I generally just unplug the modem and wait for 10 seconds to see if that’ll work. And if it doesn't, I give a call and someone helps me out. And it’s resolved fairly quickly. Overall, they provide a good service and very good customer assistance.

Mediacom's connection made me decide to go with them. My interaction with their team was okay. They were all right. I currently carry cable and internet with them and so far, the service has been good. I've had issues once in a while, but not very often. And when I do, it gets handled on the phone. They hook me up, and close off the box, and try to reboot the system.
I use Mediacom services daily. The cost is high though and that’s the only thing I don’t like. Apparently, they got a special deal with the phone, the cable and the internet. It was cheaper. But I never got a phone and I never had it connected. So, I’m paying for a service that wasn’t even available to me. I tried to cut down, but they said just straight cable would be a lot of money. The HBO, Cinemax, etc were free. You pay $10 a month or something extra, and I stopped that. And they didn’t go down very much. I pay $153 a month, and they said just the internet would be over $100 if I try to find a cheaper deal.

I hadn’t tried anybody else except for DirecTV, and they told us that we had so many trees in our yard that it would cost us a bunch of money to cut down the trees because they’d have to have the trees down because of the way it was facing. So we just said, “Forget that,” and we switched to Mediacom. However, I’ve been having problems with the cable boxes because they're not new and they keep going out. The last one that the guy came out here and put in, it worked for around a week or so, but he got it all fixed. A week later, it went out again. So, I called somebody out here. But that last time, it was almost two weeks that it was out before they came out here to fix it.
This time, they came out fast. For a week, I’ve been trying to see if I could get it back on. So, I kept fiddling with it. Their tech called and said, “I’m on my way,” so I came in here and gave it one more try. When he came to the door, I told him, "For some reason, it’s working.” He said, “Do you mind if I check it?” And he walked in the door and he said, “Well, it’s actually working. I’ll cancel the call.” He was really nice. I just started messing with it again. I unplugged it and plugged it back in, and for some reason it went back on, and it’s been on since.
I'm satisfied with the experience. We don’t really have a lot of options. There are Comcast, DirecTV and U-Verse etc and I found out that it’s going up and up and up. And my next-door neighbors tried everything. They got free TV and Roku and that’s what they're all starting to use now. When you're 72 years old, you get stuck in a rut, and that’s where I am with Mediacom. I don’t have the time or the patience to get out there and every time something new comes along, just try it.
Mediacom is just another cable company and the TV is the only reason I have it. I don’t want the phone with them because a friend of mine, when that last hurricane came through, she was out of TV and phone for two weeks. My husband has a very bad heart disease and a device was put on the regular house phone where he could call up and put the thing on his chest, and the company would read the defibrillator, so they would know if he was in trouble or not. The office would call in once a month and just have a readout on it. So, I needed a regular phone. To me, it’s just the TV and it has gotten to where so many of the stations are the same thing over and over. Quite frankly, it’s getting boring. At that point, I might just stay with it and forget it. But it’s just the same old stuff all the time.

You are on just a standard cable package that provides you with variety channels. Have you explored our OnDemand service which gives you some different options for television viewing? All the channels you have in your cable package now are free On Demand. You don't have our TiVo service and that would offer you more options but requires our Mediacom internet service.

One time, we had a local area outage as they were in the process of pruning lines, and it was for several days. The ease of service has been okay on average. Initially, we were given an older modem and we had so much trouble. It was going out every other day. In the month of December, we were losing cable and Internet, and the Internet access is a huge thing because I homeschool my younger two boys. As with the representatives, I get great experience during normal business hours. But out of regular business hours, there’s a huge difference. Other than that, I had spoken with a person and the technical advice has been spot on.

We live on a street in the middle of Apache Junction, AZ. My service goes out daily and multiple times through the day. I am not exaggerating. Between new wires, new equipment, new taps, new burial wires, and etc; the problem is still existent to this day. I know at least 20 technicians by their first name. Other than November, we usually have a technician visiting our home weekly. They will lie, create these elaborate theories, and so and so on. The only reason half their lies do not stick is because I used to be a cable guy for a long time. So, I know when I am being lied to. Anyways. THEY ARE HORRIBLE. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ATROCIOUS. We had to have CenturyLink installed so that my wife would have a consistent working internet source from home to do her job.
I do apologize about the service issues you have had. We do want our customers to be satisfied with the services we provide. I do show we did do a lot of work as you had mentioned from the equipment in your home to the tap. I show we had issued adjustments for your service issues. We do understand that having working service is important. We hope you have a better experience with your new provider. Mediacom appreciates your business.

When I moved to my current area, Mediacom is one of the services available here. We have so many big hundred-year trees that we could not go with satellite. So, I got my computer, tv, and phone services provided by Mediacom. My computer runs a little slow, but other than that, I'm happy. I love the cabled TV. If the weather is really bad, once in a while, there’ll be a problem in town that we lose everything, but they're very quick to put it back together. It has probably happened 3 or 4 times in the 8 years I've been here. Also, I've had nothing but good luck in my interactions with the representatives.

Good afternoon Victoria,
Thank you for your review and valued Mediacom business as it is greatly appreciated. We are happy to hear that you have switched back to Mediacom, that the install went great, and that your home phone service is working. Mediacom only supports the phone port 1 which is built into the modem. From there, the customer can run the telephone wire either into a base set which is our preferred method or a phone wall jack(s). If the phone wall jack(s) do not function though, the customer would need to consult with an electrician to get the wall jack(s) repaired. We hope this information helps. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Have a good day!

Updated on 01/17/2020: Mediacom did send a rep on Jan. 9. The results are worse than before. Haven't heard from mediacom since. I did receive a call from a rep. but in the middle of the call, it somehow got dropped. No one has called me back yet. As of this writing, Jan. 17, 2020 no one has reached out or even acknowledged my problem. Since I have been a loyal customer for approximately 4 years, I would expect an effort.
Updated on 01/11/2020: UPDATE. So, after my review and one star, I got a call from Mediacom. Now, they can come to my home on the 9th. The tech shows up at 10:40 and I show him my download and upload results. He tells me that I'm paying for 100 mps But they have been having a lot of trouble in my area, and as far back as I can go I have NEVER had that kind of speed. Well, he begins by replacing all outside connections, then all inside ones. The result was no change. I asked if it could be the box and he said he would replace it and see. After about an hour of trying to get the new box online and many calls to, I assume, was a supervisor, the box is replaced, again. Unfortunately, my TVs, phone, computer, or even the tech's devices won't go online.
Finally, everything is working but my computer. I tell the tech that I was online when he showed up and now I cannot get my computer to go online. I try everything he suggests but to no avail. He then asks me to let him try. After about a hour of him working on my computer, it now will do NOTHING. He tells me that he isn't a computer expert and cannot fix it. I tell him to call a supervisor and get a tech out here to fix it. He says they do not have any computer experts. I insist and he calls someone and tells me that they will send someone out tomorrow. I tell him that it has to be next week due to a previous commitment. He leaves and never set up another appointment.
Friday, I get a call from Mediacom. The lady says they do not have anyone to send out to fix whatever the tech did to my computer. She then begins to tell me what I need to do to get my computer working like it did prior to the tech working on my computer. I insist they send someone to fix it since it is a problem caused by the tech under mediacom's employ. Well, wouldn't you know, somehow the call was dropped or disconnected. No additional calls from Mediacom to me came. So, in summary, DO NOT GIVE THEM ACCESS TO YOUR COMPUTER. And, if you do, do not expect any help from Mediacom. Now, at this writing, I am using another computer and Comcast internet at my beach house. I cannot emphasize enough, DO NOT USE MEDIACOM, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE THE SPEED YOU PAY FOR AND YOU WILL NEVER GET GOOD SERVICE.
Original Review: Great internet when it works. Horrible customer service when it does not. First problem was after Hurricane Michael. I still had internet until a boom truck picking up the aftermath of the Hurricane took out my line. I called and told them the problem and was set up on an appointment. No one showed. I called back and repeated my story. Set up appointment again. No one showed, again. After several attempts over about a month, I finally got someone out to reconnect and had service again.
Now, it's January 7, 2020. I called 2 weeks ago due to very poor internet. Download speed, 14.03 and upload speed, 0.11. They set me up for today 8am-12 noon. I took the day off and waited. At 10 am, I receive a call telling me that I am rescheduled for the 15th. So, now I lost a day at work, going on a month with internet almost as bad as no internet. I ask for a manager and am connected to a place where employees go to retrieve their messages. As of this writing, I have not received a return call. Honestly, If you have any other internet options in your area, take it instead of Mediacom.

But you stated there are a few channels like the Tennis Channel that your husband watches. The package you have is the smallest package that includes this channel. The Netflix promo was a limited time promotion. Unfortunately, any outreach I would have for the promo ended in October of 2019. You wanted to change the billing date. There are only certain days we can change the billing date in our system. It would produce a prorated billing on the next bill. You declined the change because the next bill would have billed you for more than a month. We do have a call center in Costa Rica and one in the Philippines.

Original Review: Jan. 6, 2020
I got my house and scheduled to get internet through Mediacom because they had the fastest in town. Their guy came out and looked around and said I would have to have a line dropped since there was not one running to the house. About a week later I got a letter saying they dropped a temporary line so I could have internet while they wait for a better time to dig and drop the actual line, which is understandable, it's wintertime in Illinois so the ground can be frozen.
I went to search for this temporary line to find that it WAS NOT DROPPED. I contacted customer service and they said they pushed me up in the queue to get it done faster, since I was supposed to have at least a temporary line. About a week after that and I have seen no temporary line. 3 calls through tech support later and I was told that it would be a couple days before they get around to it. This was after I was told I might have to wait TIL SPRING to have internet. I know my case is not exactly common, but if you find yourself in my shoes, either learn patience or just go with someone else.

We sincerely apologize about your experience and any billing concerns that you might have. Upon looking at the account, you’re not in a contract offer. We can lower the service bill if you wanted to opt-into a 2-year contract agreement. Your current promotion is still good for about 8-months. All our offers, as long as the customer is not paying full price rate will increase annually. The closest thing we have to a forever price is if the customer is paying full price rate. Keep in mind too though that taxes, fees, surcharges, and other items can always increase too.

I first had an install date the week of Thanksgiving. When the individual came, he noted that there was no cable at my home and that the cable would have to come from the median area from the pole in the middle of the road to the home through directional drilling. This is what has been done for the other homes on the street. Doing so for my property was supposedly set up by the representative while he was still at my house. I then returned to the property the week after Christmas and no cable was yet pulled to the house.
I called Mediacom and they told me that someone would have to review the account and I would receive an e-mail within three days. The only e-mail within three days was this request to document my experience. I need to speak with a knowledgeable person to set up service and have the necessary preliminary work completed so that the next time I am in the area we can complete the install. Given the type of work I do, not having internet service in the house is a major problem for me.

The service rate will increase annually until the bundle or package the customer is in reaches full price rate. Upon looking at your account, you’re not in a contract and your offer is still good for 11-months. We can rebundle you into a contract offer now if you would like. Please reach out to us anytime so we can assist and to hopefully retain your valued Mediacom business as it is greatly appreciated. We look forward to assisting you, have a great day!

We had a 3 days of internet outage. The most information one could get is under outage your area affected. We need more info than that. How long expected, cause (equipment failure, etc.). Lack of information made it to the TV news media wth people complaints. TV reporters got no response. No notification when service came back on. Keeping the consumer informed is key if you want to keep customers.
I do apologize for the outage you had in your area. It looks like it started with a power issue in your area. I did give you adjustments for the days you were without service. If you are ever in an area outage again you can either call into our customer service department or text Molli at 66554. You can request we give you an automated phone call when services are restored. This is a good feature because if you get the call and you are still having issues you can call back into Mediacom, so we can take care of your service issues in an efficient manner. Mediacom appreciates your business.

Can you please provide us the problem description? Upon looking at the account, it looks like it could be due to usage overage issues. The modem is baselined/bridged which means that we have no access to the internal router. Are you using your own personal wireless router behind our modem? We would suggest running any virus scans and to change your wireless networks password to kick anyone off the network. This will ensure that only you are on the network and be able to gauge your usage. You can view your usage by signing into your Mediacom online account with the link below. We hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have any further concerns.

The sales team has been great. The service in the past was sketchy due to antiquated equipment, but they’ve improved it now.

I am glad to hear our sales team has been helpful. I apologize for the service issues you have had, but on the flip side I am glad it is now working properly. I do want to thank you for your patronage. I do highly recommend checking out the movie channels HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, or Starz. Our customer care team can answer questions, or you can search these companies on the internet. It will show what type of movies they are playing as well as each company has a group of special series. I know you have stated the price is a little high.

Thank you for taking my call today and your patience while we ran some tests together on your internet service. We will mail you a new modem. You are welcome to call in when you receive the modem and we can program it for you. If this solves your trouble with your download speed. We can cancel the trouble call for you. If we are still needed. We already have your visit scheduled for 01-09-20 from 10 am to 12 pm. Mediacom appreciates your business.

Still not working.... two on sites techs didn’t get it working. First tech never told me it was not working. Just said, "I done, I paid," and he left. Telephone tech was super, but still didn’t get it working...called an electrical person at recommendation of second tech. Will be here in a week.
I do apologize for the inconvenience. It is January the 3rd and I have called and left you a voice mail. I want to ensure your service is now working. If you are still having service issues can you please return a call to our customer service department or text Molli at 66554. Molli is our text support over the cell phone if needed.

Couldn’t get regular tv channels. The cable tech came and tried to get my regular tv channels to come in. He had to install a new cable box to accomplish the goal. He was very professional while working on this project.

We are happy to hear that our technician was able to conduct the necessary repairs as needed to get your service back up and running properly.

3 service techs were unable to solve my internet issues with your 360 system. I put in my own network and it works well. There were problems with programming the extender. One tech did not connect, one tech did not wait until the connection was confirmed and the last tech could not find IP address to program and had to set up an additional network which could only be used in my garage. Not even Mediacom was able to find IP address of the extender. He spent almost an hour programming to no success. He was very knowledgeable but without adequate help finding IP address his hands were tied. The first tech didn't even know what he was there for. He had to have someone deliver a modem/router to him. The replacement extender was delivered 1 day after the 3rd tech service call.
We do apologize that you had problems with our WiFi 360. I will forward the complaint to our technical department. I am glad to hear your own equipment is now working properly. Mediacom appreciates your business.

Invoice is much higher than expected, even with a movie I ordered. Your monthly invoice has now exceeded that which I paid for DISH service. I will have to reevaluate my service with Mediacom going forward into 2020. Even with weather interruptions, DISH was reliable and their service and attitude exceptional.
Thank you for taking my call. I am glad we were able to renegotiate the price with a new contract to lower your pricing. You have been a loyal customer and Mediacom appreciates your business. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to call into our customer care department or text Molli at 66554.

Even though several issues arise during the installation process the company was very accommodating in getting the process completed. The installers were professional and the customer service reps that I spoke with were courteous. No other comments to add. Thank you for your service.

I wanted to control the buffering that I experienced with ordering movies of my Fire Stick. The technician was prompt and very informative and help me resolve the problem which wasn't with the cable line it was with the fire stick. I was very satisfied with his service.
Thank you for taking the time to complement our technician. I will forward to their management. I am glad they took care of your situation in a prompt and efficient manner.

The lady that helped me was excellent and very helpful. She was very nice and could not for better. I wish everyone was as good as she was. My bill was higher than I expected and she explained why. Thank you very much.

Helping me log in to cable box. My first guy was obnoxious. He told me he didn't have all day to help. I said thank you and hung up. Two or three days later I called again and the girl was very nice and helpful. The rates are too high for the poor service we have.
I do apologize to hear you had a bad experience with one of our representatives. I can forward the complaint over to have someone review the call for you. I am glad the last representative could help. I do show you have Cable, Internet, and phone with a TiVo DVR and you are paying little under $120.00 . You are still under a promotion and it is a really good price. Mediacom appreciates your business.

Mediacom had the best and fastest internet for the area that I’m in. The installation was fine and the technicians have been fine. Compared to everybody else around, the quality of Mediacom's service is really good. The service doesn’t go past the house next door. Other people I know have Windstream and they kept saying that the service is horrible.
Thank you for the compliment that you feel like we have the best and fastest internet for your area. We strive for excellence. When our customers are happy with our staff and service it says millions. More than we can say. We are proud you have chosen Mediacom. We appreciate your business.

We were having such a terrible experience with DirecTV, so the other option was cable. And we’ve been very happy with Mediacom so far. We had an electrical storm last June, and so it hit our cable and just blew up everything. And we called them that morning and they were out there by that afternoon, and got it all fixed.
Thank you for switching to Mediacom as your service provider. Sorry to hear about the bad electrical storm you had last June. I am glad to hear we addressed the damage and it was handled in a quick and efficient manner. Mediacom appreciates your business.

I’ve had Mediacom since 1993. I stay with them because I don’t like to change. The quality of service has been great. I have cable, internet, and phone services, and everything’s fine the way it is.
