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. I am sorry to hear you are having a problem with your Fire Stick. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please never hesitate to call our customer care department or text Molli at 66554.

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.

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.

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.

I had the AT&T and when we moved here, they said we could get the digital. And as it turned out, all we could get is their slow thing, the DSL, and it was costing the same amount that we would pay for Mediacom. So, we already had a box out front for Mediacom and we just switched over to it. It was pretty simple. Everything’s going fine. I just want them to keep the price lower. We’re retired. We ought to get the military discount. We’re not gamers. We don’t watch that many movies. We just use it like a regular computer stuff. We’re not real heavy users of it. We did try using it to watch the Amazon Prime movies, and so we hit the limit. Overall, we haven't had any problem and when we had a power outage here, I called them and they were helpful.
Thank you for switching to Mediacom as your service provider. I am glad it was a smooth transition for you and you are enjoying the service.

Of the three people we've had in the house, two were independent contractors who were hired by Mediacom. However, they did not even have a Mediacom decal on their truck. Both of them, upon arriving in the house, said that Mediacom was terrible. The third representative was an employee of Mediacom and he was excellent. They also have an underground cable as opposed to an over-the-air dish, which was why we went with them.
Also, I'm pretty computer savvy and it has been almost impossible to set up our account on the internet. I've gotten one message that is really odd. Within three days after starting with Mediacom, we got a message that we had used up all of our data, which has never happened with any other supplier before. I suspect that they have given us a fairly low entry package price, and then once it got all installed, we found out that the services were not that good in terms of the number of channels and TV usage. It's gonna have to be upgraded and we're not very happy about that.
The sales that originally contacted me seemed to be very inexperienced in answering the questions that I had. We had gotten a package that included internet and video, but there are a lot of hidden charges with Mediacom. The bill that we've been getting from them is much higher than we anticipated, the number of channels is less than we had, and there have been some difficulties. In this particular market, they have a bad reputation for continually raising rates. And in fact, the City of Dubuque nearly kicked them out of the city.
I do apologize to hear the package that was selected did not suit your needs. We have a variety of different plans to choose from. I show you have made changes to your original order. If you still have any additional questions or concerns. Please call our customer care department or text Molli (66554). I want to also apologize for the unprofessional behavior. I will forward your information over to the Technical Operations Manager. Anyone working with or for our company should make you feel comfortable with your decision for choosing us.

Just before Christmas, we changed over to Mediacom from DirecTV. Mediacom could get us equal service for a lower price. However, we are still waiting to get the cable buried. If they could speed that up, that would be nice, especially since we have a week of warm weather here. Also, when they installed everything, there were no cards that had a list of all the stations that they provide, which would have been nice. Otherwise, we spend a lot of time cruising through the guide, calling it up on TV and writing down the station numbers.
A channel guide is on the way via your email address. I do apologize you did not receive one. I am showing your service was connected on December 2019. In the area that you reside we stop burying cable in early November and will not pick back up until the middle of April. We do apologize for the inconvenience. Your yard also will be flagged for utilities before we bury. We do want to thank you for switching to Mediacom. We appreciate your business.

When we moved here, we used to use Comcast from Washington State. We tried to continue with them but they don’t serve the area we live at. So, I looked for secondary options and Mediacom was one of the options. They were also the one that stood out better to me in terms of reviews and the offer. But when I talked to their sales team, there was a lot of information and it could be a little better explained. It could be simplified for the customers to really understand what’s going on. But since it’s not my first, I figured it out.
I had a modem that I bought myself, which was a very good one, and I asked the representatives if it was gonna work or if I had to purchase their product. They said that I could use mine. I then ordered the stuff on Amazon and I scheduled an appointment for a technician to come in and do an installation. When he showed up, he looked at the modem and said he could not use it. So, I had to go through the hassle of returning that modem. That was a little bit of frustrating because it could have been kinda explained before that installation day and I was looking forward to it.
It caused a delay and some extra cost, too. Paying for Mediacom’s modem is done monthly but when I decided to buy mine, it would would have been paid in one payment. Also, the phone didn’t work and we had to have a specific one for the phone. In the end, even if I tried to get both cable and internet with them, I decided to not go with the cable because of the experience. I then had to go with a different provider. Aside from that, although I was decided to pay for 500 megabits for the internet, I never received 500. And for some reason, the signal is intermittent to the point of where when we're in the middle of doing something, it just kinda jumps on its own. So, I reduced to 200, but I still get nowhere close to it. It still goes off on its own. I understand technology has its flaws, too, but it’s frustrating when it keeps on jumping off where you don’t get the speed that you’re paying for.
Thank you for choosing Mediacom as your service provider at the new location. You had mentioned there was information that could have been a little better explained. If you could please take a moment and elaborate what was not explained clearly. I can forward the response to our management team. We can review your response and offer additional training to our staff. Anything we can do to give our customers better information is greatly appreciated. Mediacom appreciates your business.

While I’m happy with everything so far. I tried to get service started for my grandfather today at his house because he wanted the same thing I had. He’s been on my Directv account for 5 yrs. Before that he had Mediacom. So I called to get Mediacom scheduled for him and was told he’s unserviceable. When I asked why the lady on the phone says it just says the address is unserviceable. He’s had Mediacom before so I’m not understanding why he’s unserviceable now. But maybe it’s a sign that I should change my mind and stick with Directv?
I do apologize you were having problems setting up your father’s service. If you provide me with the address I will be happy to check into why it is showing unserviceable.

It seemed like Mediacom had a lot of channels and stuff to offer and I wanted to give it a try. My fiancée was the one who talked to the sales team and she got a bundle. The cable would go out occasionally and sometimes, we could straighten it out but sometimes, we would have to call them and have somebody come out. The TiVo box is on the first floor and it worked the whole time. For the TV in the upstairs bedroom and the basement, those weren’t working and we went with just one TV for about a month. The guy that we talked to said that we have one of the older models and so they brought us a newer model. They upgraded and we didn’t have to ask them. They just did it.

Again 4 Stars I took one away as I think better communication from inception would have resolved this quicker. Also let me remind you we had no issues with our service until the recent equipment failure that took a little of 20 hours to fix. Only then did these problems arise.
Original Review: Dec. 17, 2019
A week or so ago MEDIACOM equipment failed and was down all day for repairs. My usual speed no matter what time of day or night was 200/25 when I had that plan. Well we when gonna cancel when I called a rep offered me a plan at 500/500. Yes 500/500. It was repeated about a dozen time before my wife and I terminated the call and agreed to the plan of 500/500. Days later a tech came to our location to confirm everything was set. The speeds at that point were 500/30 and the tech informed us that they do not have 500/500. I sucked it up and since the change and the outage it is by far the worst internet I have ever had.
I advised the staff when I call, "I AM A TECH and you need to fix your equipment. It is failing seriously." Now I get as little as 50/0.38. I have called 3 different instances with speeds slower than dial up and instead of listening to a tech the policy is to waste everyone's time by sending out somebody to see I have all new wires from the street to my home, I also have a brand new router "do not even get me started on how they always try to say it is my router" and it is not everything here is new. If you cannot manage your service and see when your equipment is failing you should step aside and let some other provider take your place in what is offered in our area.
Good afternoon Charles,
We sincerely apologize about the concerns you’ve mentioned and any service issues that you might be experiencing.

Most of Mediacom's reps were really nice. I got the phone, internet, and TV through them, and the installation went well. The installers did a good job. They didn’t explain to me how many megabytes I get and when I go over, my megabyte is $10. And once I had a bill of $430. I didn’t know that after you go over, it is $10. Also, sometimes, when it rains, you can hardly get the channel. But you just unhook the box, and start the booster back up. It’s searching for service, but it will never find it until I unplug it. Sometimes, it will pop back in. It happens often but they explained it to us that because where we had our house built in, we are on the last end.

We’ve been with Mediacom before there were many others. We always stayed and their reps have always been good. We’ve got their service in every room and we’ve got full access to everything. They came in here a while back and put in some stuff so that each TV can act separately as well as get all the channels. Other than the cable, we also have internet and telephone services with them. For the internet, we used to have a lot of problems and they were always coming out. Sometimes, the connection would go out and sometimes, we couldn't use the TV. Then they'd have to fix it and in one year, they were here about four times because it kept messing up. But they put this new system in now and it’s been pretty good.
The same thing happened with the cable. Since they put the new system in, we get all the channels and it's a really nice system because you can put things over in it. One time, we couldn't get anything on it but all I had to do was unplug it and plug it back in. Then sometimes, the picture would be kinda wavy or pixely or would get little splotches. But it would come back on, which is nice in the way that they didn’t have to come and do anything. I understand there are problems sometimes and that doesn’t bother me.

I've been with Mediacom for more than 30 years and I have internet, phone, and cable with them. Their services are good, though sometimes they would go out and usually, that would happen on all three of them. I'd have issues with the internet about once a month. It would go out for a while then it'd come back. I usually call them when that happens, then they'd troubleshoot it by computer and it goes back on in a while. Other than that, their reps have been courteous and professional. But I'm a little bit displeased with Mediacom price-wise. Their rates are too high and I don’t get any special rates even if I've been with them for 30 years. They should treat me better than that because I've been a good and loyal customer.

We switch from the only other provider in our area about a month ago. The technician came. He didn't know the house. Had never had cable internet before. He had to borrow our shovel because he didn't have one and he had to call another tech to open a hole under the sidewalk since we needed a cable line ran from the pedestal to the house. The technician was very polite.
After he left, our landlord saw the orange cable line running next to the house on the property line, back to the backyard property line, then back up to the backside of the house (making a "U" shape). Our landlord said the cable cannot be dug the way it was laying in the yard. It will get hit when we put a fence up. I had called after Thanksgiving to tell anyone I could get ahold of at that point to add in the notes that the cable needed to be ran a different way, customer service lady was also polite, and said it wouldn't be an issue and that the dig guys will call when they were going to come bury the line. Its been two weeks since that call. When I came home from work today, they had came and buried the line where it wasn't suppose to be and then never called me saying they were coming. After a 45 minute phone call, I got nowhere, to get it moved and it will cost me $300 to move it.
We do want to apologize if the Mediacom line was not put in were you wanted. When our technicians go to a job they find the best route to run the cable for easement rules and serviceability. Anytime you do anything requiring a dig, state ordinances require you to have the area flagged to mark utilities. If your landlord is doing a post hole dig for fence. After it is flagged, you would just put your post away from the flag. They also want to do this to check for any electrical, water pipes, drain pipes, etc. If the line ever needs to be replaced. We have special equipment that will bore under the fence. This will prevent us from damaging the fence. Mediacom appreciates your business.

Mediacom has good customer service. It’s just that sometimes their service doesn’t work. I have the internet, TV, and phone package with them and sometimes, their products have issues. With the internet service, there were times when I was working from home and it went offline a lot. Mediacom's reps would come out several times and configure it. Sometimes, they’d tell me to restart the modem to initialize it, then it’d go on for a while, but most of the time, during the day, it'd just drop. And that was not a good experience, especially if you were working from home.
With their television service, I have an outstanding issue. The TV has that part that I should be able to get the guide so that if you’re looking for a show, you can be able to find it for that choice. And that is not working. Somebody came by to look at it and he didn’t know. When he came back to look, he said I needed to buy a device that’s called MoCA. And I haven't called to buy that device because once I paid for the cable, I should not be buying another device to make it work. That’s the problem.
I have issues with their modem, too. I have three of my children, so I don’t want them to be using their devices at the time that I don’t want them to. I want to be able to go there and configure those family settings but for some reason, they won’t let you do that. So I had to buy a different router so that I can be able to regulate all the devices. But when you buy that modem, it’s something that you should be able to be given access to and you should be able to go into a certain level to control who is accessing your internet.
Thank you for taking my call. We have made some changes to your account and scheduled a visit to change out some of your equipment on 12/23/19. After the changes have been made I will follow up with you and see if this has improved your service. I do apologize you have had service issues. We will work to help you resolve the problems with your internet dropping. Mediacom appreciates your business.

After the all the red tape I went through I have been told that they will now be able to provide service to me. I think Mediacom as a company needs to stop working in silo's and work together to give customers and potential customers as much information as they have and not vague responses like unservicabable. While Beverley one other customer service rep was great to work with, I am still dissatisfied with this entire experience. I'll update my rating to 2 stars but work needs to be done to both improve how the customer service team deals with their customers and to improve transparency between the customer service and the construction crews.
Original Review: Dec. 11, 2019
I have been attempting to order new service for a new home for over a month. I keep being told I am unserviceable. When I ask what that means I've been told "I don't know" from more than one customer service rep. This started in mid November, when I attempted to order service I was told unservicable and that customer service would help me. I provided my address, and they said call back in a week. I called back 2 weeks later on 12/2 and was told the tech went out and I was unservicable. But I was finally talking to someone who understood what customer service meant and did her best to help me. She explained that I did not have a tap. I asked how I can get one and she said she would put in an order and gave me a ticket number and to call back in a few days.
She even took the time to look up the streets next to mine since this is a new subdivision and my street is the newest. She confirmed that the street adjacent to mine had customers and said it shouldn't getting me service or a tap. I called back 2 days later 12/4 and was told the Tech hadn't made it out yet and to call back Monday. I went ahead and called back on Friday 12/6 and was told that the appointment was set for Sunday and to call back Monday. She also took down my number to give to the service department for someone to call me. I never got a call. I called back yesterday 12/9 and was told that the ticket had not been updated and that she escalated it and for me to call back tomorrow. I'm very frustrated at this point and express my frustration with this process.
I called today 12/10 and was told someone was going out and to call back this afternoon. I called just after 2:30 pm and was told no one had been out and to call back after 6. I went ahead and called back at 6:30 and was told that on 12/5 a tech was out and guess what, I'm unserviceable. It was my understanding that I was supposed to be getting a tap installed and asked why I am unserviceable. I questioned how it was that she had this information and no one on Friday, Monday, or two times on Tuesday told me nothing had been done? I asked what unserviceable meant and I was put on hold for awhile. When she came back on the line she asked for my contact information again.
I told her I have already given my contact information for someone from the service department to call me and never got a call. I gave her the information again and asked her what happens if I don't get a call. She did not know. At that point I asked to speak to a supervisor or something that might have more information. After another hold I was transferred to the supervisor who introduced himself and told me a tech was out there today and I am unserviceable. Confused I asked him why the customer service rep told me they were out on 12/5 and he told me they went out today. He immediately got defensive and went into attitude mode. He asked why I asked to speak to a supervisor if I am just going to accuse them of not knowing what they are talking about?
I never said that, I just inquired why his information was different. We went back and forth of him asking me questions and then talking over me when I tried to answer them. He then assured me that Mediacom is in the money making business and that no one is unserviceable and if I would like to spend the money they can put a tap in. I asked for a quote on that, while he continued to talk over me and give me attitude and he said he would have them contact me with a price in 24-72 business hours. He asked if there was anything else he could do and I mentioned his attitude towards me, that set him off. He told me I did not know him and when he was giving attitude. He continued and I gave up knowing that nothing I say to him was worth my time.
He ended the call with a very arrogant have a nice night. SO now I'm 5 days away from closing on my house and not sure if I can get cable internet. I'm ready to call about DSL knowing that it won't meet my needs. I would love for someone to actually care and help me instead of telling me that I am unserviceable. I would also love the customer service team to get some much needed training. The only reason they are in business is people want cable internet and they are the only provider allowed in the town.
I tried to look up your address on Google maps and it is not showing up for me yet. This is leading me to assume that this address is a new construction. Can you tell me if this is in a Housing Addition and what the name of the addition is? This time of year, any new Construction usually doesn't get built until later in the spring. I can check with the Technical Manager in the area but to be honest if they are waiting for approval they may not have the answer for me yet. We get approval from Corporate on any new build. It is never immediate it can take months to get the approval to start the build. The first step is getting the address put in the system. I show 2180, 2190, 2200, and 2255 as the addresses we have in the system now on your street. They all are showing we cannot provide service. If you can provide me with the name of the addition if there is one that will help me. Mediacom appreciates your business.

Mediacom is a good company and they have 24-hour home security which is what we need. We have a one-year-old and that’s the main reason why we needed home security. We also have Netflix and a house phone, and so we have everything thanks to Mediacom. Our interactions with their sales, customer service, and technicians have been really good, and they’ve come right out and fixed our problem when we’ve called. Although our security cameras went out once or twice, the quality of service is good and we love it. I would recommend it to more and more people.

All telephone and internet service for my mother was disconnected by Mediacom with no notice to allow a tree to be removed from a neighbor's property. My mother is a 94 year old woman who lives alone and is completely dependent on being able to call for help if needed. Her Lifeline alert will also not work without a phone line. This was all explained to a supervisor who could not expedite anything. Unfortunately I am out of state and cannot check on her every day when she needs it the most. The tree came out last Thursday and service should have been reconnected Friday, but Mediacom says she must wait 8 days for them to fix the damage that they created. Due to her age and medical condition I feel this is unacceptable.
Can you please provide me with your mothers full address and zip code included and her name? I will be happy to check into it for you. I do understand having elderly family you are not able to keep in touch with can be very concerning. I will do my best to see what I can do. Mediacom appreciates your business.

We ended up with Mediacom Cable when they took over the thing that we had here in Fairbury for getting your computer connection. We’ve got everything connected with Mediacom except for a hardline phone that my wife won’t give up. I got a couple of emails that said something about doing something because something is not being transmitted through. It looked like a scam to me though and I just deleted them. When I went over to the Pontiac office one time and talked to them about it, I said that I’m probably never gonna get an email from Mediacom. Somebody would probably call rather than sending an email. The gal looked at me and said yeah.
I have two different TVs. One has a black box on it and one has a little bitty box on it so we get different numbers. I pay more for the one I’ve got in the basement and I get different channels down there than on the two other TVs that we have upstairs. So far, everything works and if I have a problem, I have been able to call and they would come and check it out. The last time they did, I had a tower on the computer that had been replaced. One guy came and checked it. He said he was gonna run another line through the front street of my house going to a different connection, which was right straight across from our house. The other one came from a third of a block south of the house, which ran under a blacktop road. And the new one went over. I’ve never had a problem with the connection after he was here though, so I never called them to connect it to the one across the street. But the quality of the service was very good. The tower worked and they got rid of my old router.

Mediacom customer service specialist contacted me quickly to address my issue. We did find a program that worked for our family.
Original Review: Dec. 6, 2019
I have been a Mediacom customer for bundled services for almost 10 years between two addresses. I have always had all three services in my bundle. I do not have much to complain about in service, the internet, cable television and phone have been adequately provided. I am upset about the cost of their services. I see millions of advertisements for $99 bundles, but those are only for new customers. My bill is again going up another $20 to $224 a month for no change in my service provided. Just an increase they say.
I have called multiple times to try to lower my bill and no one seems to care. They can save me $20/mo for a new contract. I think if they can offer these dramatic savings to new customers, why can't we; the loyal have some benefits too? I have plead with them due to medical issues I need to reduce my bill and I get nothing. So I am looking into other options for service. Not because of poor service, or delivery of product but because of how a loyal customer is not being heard. Being in the customer service industry for over 25 years, that's pretty sad.
Thank you for your feedback. If you can provide me with your Mediacom account number or address. I would be happy to review your account and see if there is any way we can help you reduce costs. We could not offer you introductory customer pricing after your new customer promotion has expired. But I would be happy to look and see if there is anything different we could offer you. Because of the rising costs of programming our rates have increased. Mediacom appreciates your business.

Our other internet provider sucked but I’m not too happy with Mediacom either. We called them because the line wasn't working and our internet was not staying connected. When they came out, the guy said that the line was bad. So, he put a new line in and a different router. He also said that somebody would be here in three to four weeks to bury the line but we never heard from anybody.
Then last week, they came out, buried a line, and cut our electric sensor for our dogs. We came home one day to the alarm going off on our dog's electric fence because they broke the loop when they were here. Also, when they were coming to work on it, they were supposed to call 15 minutes ahead of time but they never called then. They just showed up. And when I called about the issue on our electric sensor, I was told that it was not their problem. Now we have to get out there and dig part of our electric fence up to figure out where they broke it at. Other than that, the service works well and we don't have a problem with it.
I do apologize for the inconvenience. After I got your message, I did fill out a damage report. I spoke to your husband over the phone and let him know I was putting in a damage report. Unfortunately, it was denied stating the contractor spoke to you Amanda and you had admitted fault. The ticket was closed.

Usually, I unplugging and plugging it back in works, but I’ve had to call in occasionally. Also, the TV service occasionally glitches, but I’m not sure if that’s the station or the cable. It has been fine otherwise.

We keep getting interrupted on channel 9. It comes on a block and you don't hear the end of the rest of the program. Mediacom Cable gave me a new cable box that doesn't have the time on it so I had to bring out a clock radio. Also, Channel 7 was really bad and kept cutting out on us. Dave said that it was a battle between the cable company and channel 7. We also have our phone and cable and internet all in, but we don't even use the internet, except for the iPad.
In September, I had the cable guy come. He lived in the area and knew the people the three other apartments in the building. He said nothing was wrong. I have my cable box on the back and I've had to put in a replacement seal on that twice. Then, I called again and two guys came out. One was at the back and they pulled out a bullet from the side of the house. I noticed that a couple more had been gotten from the mail. They've been knocking holes in the walls and I think they're still on my cable.
We're on a low income, so we just keep our bills paid. But our cable bill suddenly went up 50 bucks a couple of months before I had them come and check. I didn't know why it went up because we don't order movies. Because the bill was just too high, I had to drop a lot of the channels I really like, like Smithsonian and Starz. I thought that was really ridiculous. After 21 years, you'd think they would give us a discount instead of the price being raised. If you're new moving in, you can get a good deal though.

We have had Mediacom for almost two years now, unfortunately we do not have another choice in providers. When the service works it is great, it’s the rest of the time that it’s terrible. To explain we have regular outages in the area. When we call the customer service representatives first response is to blame the modem. The first time we actually bought a new modem and lo and behold the problem was still there. It took over a week to get a service person out. It wound up taking two tries to get it fixed. Since that first time our internet has gone down no less than three times leaving us without service for a cumulative month!
The tech who comes by our house to fix the internet usually leaves the lid off of the box. I attempted to call to have him come back to fix it right away as wires were left hanging exposed outside of the box. The customer service rep told me that I would have to schedule a new appointment in order to have a tech come by and finish the job that the last tech failed to complete! We regularly have interruptions in service, at least weekly, that we just deal with but any hint of inclement weather and we are sure not to have service for awhile! I look forward to the day when there are more providers in our area and we can ditch Mediacom and their lousy service forever!

The physical appearance of the reps from Mediacom wasn’t very professional. One guy had on a NASCAR shirt with a NASCAR hat and the other guy had on a cowboy hat with a feather in it and long hair. Neither one of them had a Mediacom uniform on and the van that they were using was all beat up and had dents on it. The only way I even knew it was Mediacom was the half-scratched off Mediacom sticker on the side. Then, they were supposed to call me before they came out but instead of calling me, they popped up in the driveway as I was taking my son to school. They were there an hour early and kinda sat in the driveway until someone came outside. But they did a great job installing the internet and everything was done the same day. I got the phone and internet, and I’ve noticed that when there are more than three devices connected to it, it acts very slow. So, I end up disconnecting my phone from it and everything seems to run fine.
The experience has been good with Mediacom but the only issue I have with my internet is that when the reps came and installed it, they didn't tell me how to pay it, about the app to pay it and they didn't give me a route number. The only thing they said was that there was a drop box at the road. I couldn't figure out my information because they set everything up for me and didn't tell me anything other than what my Wi-Fi name was and my password. So finally, I called Mediacom and got in touch with somebody there and they told me about the app. I finally got on it and got the internet paid.
Thank you for your feedback. I am glad to hear our technicians did a great job for you. We do have Contractors that do help us with installs.

So this is only part of the roller coaster ride from mediacom hell!
Every month I don't have cable. I have to deal with customer service trying to explain why I need adjustments to my bill. It's much easier to go get a tooth pulled at my dentist, than to deal with most of their staff. At this point mediacom owes me at least 6 months worth of lost service. Last week I was directed to call the escalation dept. Different number than main number. Brian answered and I went on explaining that I'm probably done with mediacom, unless something changes, like actually having cable service every day, instead of every once in awhile, and also getting all that's owed to me like at least 8mo. cable service. So this Brian put me on hold for 5 min. Came back on and said, "I can see many problems that should have been addressed, so rest assured, I will bring this to a resolution. Give me an hr. and I will call you back with a solution." Shocker! Brian never called back!
I have already taken 52 days off work just yo wait for some idiot to show or in some cases not show up, and give me some lame excuse, like it's a tower problem, or it's maint. Dept. Issue, or just not show and call me and say it's almost fixed then they cancel the appointment on me and I then have to deal with lectures from service reps telling me I shouldn't have cancelled the appt.! I Never Cancelled the Appt.!!! The techs cancel the appt.!!
The last information I have is from our Director. He has spoken with three gentleman from our technical team they have stated the problems stem from a bad TV. Some of the inputs did not work and service is now being hooked up to the component 1 ports. They stated that you understand a new TV is needed. He is also stating you have been educated about our equipment not being underwater. Thank you for your patience with assisting us with resolving your trouble. Mediacom appreciates your business.

I wouldn't give Mediacom for anything. I love it. I moved into this house in '86, and I've had it since then. They have done excellent with me. I had issues once in a great while, but all I had to do is call them up. Usually, the whole area is having problems, and they get it fixed right away. They brought in new boxes. I have at least four of them.

Mediacom's service is better than other companies. The customer service is always great. The internet works often. It’s high speed, and does wonders for my son. I've had it before. The cable is awesome, too. The installer was a good guy. But when he hooked up the Wi-Fi to my router, he hooked it up to the box, so there was no extra cord. When I brought in the TV, I couldn’t hook cable to it. So, when my internet got shut off, I had somebody come out here and look at it, and now it works.

I had Dish Network for 16 years and they dropped one of my favorite channels, plus they kept raising my rates. Previously, I had Mediacom for my internet and I added the cable because they had the channel I wanted. The installation went very well. For the most part, I’m satisfied with Mediacom’s quality of service. Occasionally, they would drop a signal on a channel but other than that, everything has been good.

We have been a customer with Mediacom for a few years. We typically didn't have too many problems. A lot of outages but usually something that is fixed on it own. Recently, about a two weeks ago, our internet AND cable went out. It took them 8 days to get someone out there to fix it. The fix took less than 5 minutes and the person never entered our apartment. About another 7-8 days later, internet goes out again. It's going to take another week for them to fix it, and then they can only schedule us for 8AM-12PM. Meaning my wife or myself would have to take off work. What kind of service is that? That's how they handle issues? If we didn't live in an apartment complex that caters to Mediacom, we would be signing up with a different company.
Good morning Wesley,
We sincerely apologize about the experience and any service issues you’re having. Upon looking at the account it looks like we were supposed to be out there on October 29th, but the service order was cancelled due to services working properly. We then had another initiated service order made on 11/07 and that was scheduled for 11/15. It looks like we were able to move that up to 11/11 but service notes state no one would be home during that time. We will always try our best to acquire a timely resolution and work actively on trying to move things up to accommodate around the customer’s schedule. I will forward the information to our field team for assistance, so we can acquire a resolution for you.

We decided to leave DirecTV after 16 years and add TV service to our Medicom internet service. The price was good and we decided to buy our DVR directly from TiVo. I hooked the DVR up and the Minis. The first "SERVICE CALL" (10 days to schedule) and the technician didn't have even bring a cable card - the only thing he needed to do. I took a half day off work for this visit. Calls with his supervisor and Mediacom resulted in go pick one up yourself at an office 45 minutes away or wait another week. They wouldn't overnight one either...just said, "We won't do it."
Finally a supervisor said she would try and get a tech to drop one off the next day (that wasn't bad). When that didn't happen, I call Mediacom and was told they don't do that...meaning the supervisor flat out lied to me. Again, another supervisor said they would do nothing - no service credits even. Simply don't care how they treat their customers. Mediacom service is simply TERRIBLE and you shouldn't expect anything more.
Thank you for taking my call today. I am glad to hear you have a cable card and everything is working fine. As I spoke with Mrs. Myser, she stated if after a family discussion if they do not want our equipment she will return it. We do apologize for the mix up. Mediacom appreciates your business.

The young man who came was very nice and polite but not aware as to what he was doing. I had a TiVo and mini box to be hooked up. Doing the TiVo box he disconnected my DVR player and did not plug it back in, he disconnected the old box but left the power source behind cabinet, when asked want it went to he responded I don't know another helper that showed up was able to assist with this. He forgot to hook cable to modem for my computer, when asked about phone and number he then told me where the phone cable would go in the modem which was on top of a cabinet and I would have to call it to get number, well how will I call it if I don't know the number??
Again the other fellow inserted the cable and wrote down the new phone number for me. When the mini box was hooked up he again let the power source from the old connection behind cabinet and disconnected the cable to my Bose DVR and speakers. When asked about working the remote and if there was any guide he gave me a 4 second speech and told to forget about the other buttons. I had shoulder surgery four days before this install and I needed to get help to move cabinet to retrieve the power source from the old box and get him to reconnect my cables to the Bose system. Now I'm waiting for tech to see why my internet speed is so slow. All I can say is I made a major mistake switching from my previous supplier to Mediacom.
We don apologize for the inconvenience. We typically don't hook up customers own equipment for liability reasons. Keep in mind I can't physically see the cabinet you are mentioning but if the cabinet is big enough we could not get behind it without moving. Our technicians are not allowed to move the furniture to ensure we do not damage your personal property. Thank you for taking my call and I will attempt to reach out to you later this evening.

Mediacom is a little too costly but it’s simple and it’s getting better all the time. The help has been very good. I had an apartment building for a while and I just sold it but we had an agreement with Mediacom that we would leave the phone services on all the time and the TV because if we would have somebody move out of one apartment into another one, we would always have them send some guys out. By doing what we've done, nobody had to come out. It cost me money because then we didn't get anybody in the apartment for a year and I was paying for it but at least it was simpler and we didn't have problems after we had to hook up again. Mediacom’s services are good and I don't have any problem with any of their people on the line. It works good.

Appointment made for 10/30/2019 from 1-5 pm. Received multiple reminders and text messages about the appointment. Waited at our home from 12 noon thru the evening. We did not receive the tech and after 6 pm notified that the appointment was cancelled. Was told the tech called and we didn’t answer. We didn’t receive a call or a voice message.

I called to request my internet service be placed on Vacation mode due to the fact that I will not be using my vacation home from November of 2019 thru April of 2020. The representative told me that was not possible. I explained I have done this in the past. She insisted it couldn't be done so I said I wanted to completely disconnect my service. She then transferred my call to another department and that representative was familiar with my original request to place my service on Vacation Mode. She agreed to do that for me so I am happy with the outcome and have always been very happy with Mediacom.

I called on October 18th about an issue with the DVR capabilities of our digital receiver. After explaining the issues (DVR playback continually froze, glitched, and otherwise would not function normally), I was told that a work order needed to be put in for somebody else to give me assistance. Further, I was told that person/department would call me within 2 days to resolve my issue. After no contact from any Mediacom representative, my wife disconnected our receiver and took it into the Moline office on October 23rd. At this point the person in the office promptly replaced our receiver on the spot while informing her he hadn’t seen one that old in a while.
I was very courteous and polite on the phone October 18th and my wife was the same on October 23rd. We have never complained and have remained loyal to Mediacom over the years - first in college and now for over 14 years at our current location. In today’s day of cord-cutting, I might suggest Mediacom provide a higher level of customer service - especially to those that have been customers for any length of time. Additionally, it may be prudent to do a review of equipment from time-to-time. We’ve only had 2 receivers in 14.5 years. With the pace of technology and the tendency for today’s products to be mass-produced cheaply, many of our current electronics are out of date within 3-5 years. The customer service in the Moline office was fantastic, according to my wife. Thank you for that. For that reason I will give this experience 3 stars.
Good afternoon Neal,
We sincerely apologize about the experience and any service issues that were occurring. I am sorry that no one followed up with you. Normally, if a customer is having service issues, we would troubleshoot with the customer and then schedule a service visit if needed. Again, sorry that this didn’t happen. We do want to thank you as well for your long-time valued Mediacom business as it is greatly appreciated. We will make sure to relay the feedback to the proper teams and credit you for the time without service. Even though we have newer equipment, the equipment you’ve had is still fully sufficient for the level of service that you’re subscribed to. If the equipment needs to be upgraded, we will either e-mail or send our customers a letter informing them an upgrade of equipment is needed. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns so that we may assist. You and your family have a wonderful day!

I just swished from Directv to Mediacom because of the channels Directv dropped. Overall I am ok with Mediacom but Directv was easier to use. Two of my concerns are the remote and the printed channel guide. The remote is very hard to read because it is all black. I like to watch TV in my bedroom at night. I have to use a flashlight to be able to see the remote. Also how ridiculous to send new customers a written channel guide that is in numerical order. If I want to find the Hallmark Channel I have to keep looking down the columns of numbers to find it instead of looking under H. There are other things that were much easier with Directv.

On a Wednesday morning, I saw a Mediacom truck leaving my street. I went in and checked my modem and you guessed it. It was turned off. I called customer service and after all checks was told a technician would have to come out. The earliest time was FOUR DAYS out. I have had my service disconnected at the box, accidentally before and knew this was the case again. I called three time a day to see if I could get a quicker time but was told none. I even explained I knew what was wrong and it would only take a few moments to just turn me back on at the box.
Luckily two days later the same service technician that corrected the problem last time was asked to come by and check then turn me back on. If there were any other internet provider I would drop these idiots in a heartbeat. Being the monopoly in town, they can treat customers in such a fashion. There should never be such a long wait. This is the 21st century.

We live on a month to month income. Our monthly bill is almost $200.00. For us this is unacceptable. We will have to start giving up some of our favorite programs in order to make ends meet..

When I called in on 10/19/2020 to get my purchased modem hooked up. The person on the line from Mediacom helped me set up my purchased modem. A few days later I got a message on my screen that my Tivo needed to be set up. Not knowing what that meant. I called Mediacom again and stated that I purchased my own modem and now I am getting this message. The person on the other end said we will have to send a tech out to lookk at it. The more I thought after that call, I thought the Tivo may have been looking for the old Mediacom modem.
So I called back again and was told, "If you purchase your own modem you need to have some sort of adapter connected to make the Tivo work." This should have been explained in the previous call. The rep cancelled the previous appointment and set up another. This was the third time that Mediacom was coming to my house and I needed to take off work again to get this corrected. All of your reps need to be able to tell me what needed to be done. I can only imagine how this increases costs to Mediacom that directly affect my rates.
I do apologize that when you first purchased your modem it was not explained that you would have to have a TiVo Connector for your televisions to work. I do show you now have one as of 10-31-2019.

Special thanks to Beverly. I finally got some clarity on this issue from Mediacom. Not ideal news, but at least I know how to move forward. Thanks again!
Original Review: Nov. 5, 2019
Apparently a large number of Mediacom Broadband email addresses were hacked a couple of weeks ago. My wife's was one. No one mentioned it in any of my calls to Mediacom about issues with her emails not sending from 3rd party applications. It would send fine from their web app, but not from Outlook or iPhones. Their scripted answer was, something like "that is a problem with a third party application, we don't support those." That gave us no breadcrumbs to follow when calling the "third party" app folks. On two of the three calls, it was alluded to that Mediacom had a problem that caused "some" emails to be blocked by Microsoft and Apple.
They said we could get it fixed by contacting those companies directly and even gave us their telephone numbers. But, no detail to offer them, just vague references to connectivity issues. That began two weeks of numerous phone calls getting me nowhere. I finally had our company's email host look up her account and they said it was blacklisted and that one of the blacklists would be nearly impossible to get off of. So, we are changing her email address and considering cutting the cord with Mediacom. At the very least we plan to cut off VOIP, and probably CATV. Had someone at Mediacom just fessed up that there had been a breach, it would have saved weeks of time and frustration. Dishonest.
Good afternoon Mike,
We sincerely apologize about your experience. We have not heard of any e-mail breaches on our end. The only thing we can see on our end is if an e-mail address is active or locked. If the e-mail address is locked, we can unlock it by resetting the associated password to that e-mail. We also only have support for our web mail site. If a customer can login to webmail.mediacombb.net and send/receive mail, then we usually aren’t experiencing any e-mail server issues.
If an e-mail password is reset, you would want to make sure the incoming and outgoing password fields for that e-mail is updated if linked to a third-party client, tablet, or smart phone. I have provided some useful links below. Please let us know if you want us to call you to discuss things further.

When I got here, my son got me an apartment, and Mediacom came with the apartment. The customer service at Mediacom is okay. The only problem I had was I have a computer that is registered in my name that I connected up here. But then I went to Virginia to visit my sister, I bought another computer which is also registered in my name down in Virginia. And when I tried to set up two computers with my name, it was lots of problems. You can’t have two computers with the same name connected to the line. Then, I got myself a flip-top phone from USA Cellular. And then I found out that in order to get a wireless connection, I have to get a modem.
I got a modem with the router built-in. And later, I had people come down and connect the router when I was trying to connect the two computers, but that didn't work either. I couldn't have one wireless and one non-wireless. It still didn't work. But I also have the internet come on to this new phone I got, and it was a lot of work. I had to call people in order to get it set up with the code word in the router and in the phone at the same time. The rest is great. The only catch is I don't know how much they pay a month for. But I would recommend Mediacom to anybody who doesn't have it.

Thank you for your review. A computer PC can be named whatever the owner wants it named. As far as WiFi, you want to make sure aren’t setting up the same WiFi name as your current location to another as this would cause a conflict.

When I compare these interactions with the several previous companies I have been with, there is no comparison on this front as every other company has held a much friendlier tone and genuinely tried to "resolve" the conflict versus this company's tactic of just telling the customer you were wrong and we were right. Even if they were correct in some instances I still have verified at least one time where I was directly and repeatedly told the wrong pricing information. The one thing I can say positively about Mediacom is not once have I called and spoken to someone who clearly struggles to even speak English.
Secondly, my reference to price gouging is not just in relation to stating one price and charging another, but mainly to the concept of raising your monthly fee each year, in my case by nearly $30, with no cap in site. I am currently paying about $25 more for the exact same service (actually slightly less channels on our cable and with slower max speeds) than I had with either of the last two companies had charged me at their highest fee points. I've stated before, and it still holds true, I know if I had any other options in my current home for another cable company besides this one it would be a no-brainer.
I recently realized, through my own ignorance, I have been paying over $11/month for a router/modem from Mediacom. I did not ever pay attention to this because I asked point blank when I initially set up my system and was told I would have to pay that "fee" regardless of whether or not I was using their device, so I did not question it. I point this out for anyone who might make this same mistake as me to stop themselves. I will add though that I have been running speed tests regularly with the company issues modem/router and my best download speeds ever recorded in 3 years were the low 60s mbps while the worst was 4.22 with a regularity around 38 mbps. That is with a connection that would cut in and out nearly once every 15 minutes and simply was not strong enough to reach throughout our whole home (Note: all speed tests were done while sitting within 20ft of the modem/router with direct line of sight). After switching out this month to my own modem and my own router, I am now running a minimum of 118 mbps download speeds with absolutely no drops. (Also note the router/modem was the 3rd one of this model I have had, the first two within the first few months then this one since). My only point here is an encouragement for other customers to consider purchasing your own devices for increased performance and to save expense in the long-run.
Original Review: Oct. 22, 2019
If you want a service that is occasionally spotty (especially for internet) with a company that will continually increase prices and call it a saving then look no further. Mediacom will have everything you have ever wanted. I was told after seeing a price increase of $30+ after my first year with the company that if I agreed to a 2-year contract they would lock in a better rate for the full 2 years. However after exactly 1 year they raised my price $30+ again. When I called to have it corrected they flat told me there was nothing they would do aside from letting me cancel my service. No honor, just lying to get customers.
Then they told me if I dropped one aspect of my cable it would drop my price to $147+ (which by the way is what they consider a deal and is over $20 more than I ever paid for any of my previous cable/internet combos with Comcast or Time Warner. When I logged in to pay my bill 3 days later imagine my surprise when I saw it was $157+. LIES LIES LIES. And the worst of it is, each time you call in they simply state there is nothing they can/will do for you now that you have been blatantly lied to to lock in your services. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED.
Good afternoon Philip,
We sincerely apologize about your experience and any service issues that you might be experiencing. If you’re experiencing spotty internet service, we can always troubleshoot with you or schedule a tech visit since it looks like we haven’t been out there for quite some time. Also, all our offers including contracts or non-contracts will increase in price annually. Customers are always welcome to inquire about lowering their service rate at any time. We did review the call interaction where it was indicated pricing would increase after the second year of the promotion. The current service rate right now is $147.85 before taxes/fees. The reason it was about $11.XX higher was due to your Digital Encore/Starz promotion expiring but looks like that has now been opted-out of. Things seem to be correct so if you would like to listen to the call interaction, you may visit our local office which is in North Webster. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. As always, we appreciate your valued Mediacom business. Have a good day!
Thanks,Christian

I've had Mediacom for years. And my mother move in with us a few years ago, and she wanted DISH. So we switched to DISH. We had DISH all of the month, and for that whole month, I never could hook up to the internet, so I called. Plus, they put a big satellite out front. Mediacom doesn't do that. So I switched back to Mediacom. I had left and they were very happy to hear why I was coming back.
Mediacom's reps were wonderful and very helpful. Mediacom has excellent service. At the moment, I have internet and basic cable. To me, they're the best out there. And I like that when the cable goes out, you can call and they'll tell you what they're doing in the area and they'll call you and let you know it's being turned on. After it comes on, they'll call a few minutes later and ask about our cable.

Good afternoon Pat,
We sincerely apologize about your experience and any issues that are occurring. Upon looking at the account, it shows we were supposed to come out on 10/07 for internet speed issues but it shows cancelled. Are you still having speed issues? If so, please bypass any wireless router and hardwire into ethernet port 1 on the modem. This will test speeds directly from the modem and avoid any over the air signal interference. You should be getting around 60 mbps download and 5 mbps upload as long as no VPNs or proxys are involved. If you’re still having issues, please let us know so we can troubleshoot and schedule a service visit for you. We look forward to hearing from you.

There were only two choices for internet providers we were on at. One was Mediacom and the other was CenturyLink. I had just moved from another little tiny town that the only choice was CenturyLink, and they were extremely slow, I couldn't even stream Netflix. It was a dial-up. So, whenever I moved here to Bonifay, Mediacom was available. That was why I went to Mediacom, but I have had previous experiences with Mediacom because I lived in Gulf Breeze and Navarre area. I knew that Mediacom was a good service then.
Right now, I have their internet service, and they bundled it recently with a home phone because it lowered my bill by $10 with doing it that way, but I don't even have a home phone yet. I've had nothing but good experiences with them. Recently, I've been having a lot of issues, and my service hasn't been working. It would go out and would kick me off every five minutes, and I would reset my box. I've had three boxes and I'm on my third modem. I don't know how many times I've reported it. I have asked one time to receive a partial credit because my service didn't work for three days. Then one time, they told me if I was calling up again to get a credit, they would not be able to do that all the time. She made me feel like every time I call up there and complain that my service wasn't working that I was trying to ask for a credit, and that was not what I was doing. That kinda start to hurt my feelings a little bit.

On October 11, 2019, between 11 and 12, I called the 800 number to obtain help with my remote control. I could not turn on or off my TV or adjust sound or volume with remote. The representative told me to hold down the divo button and the on/off button on TV which I did. Nothing happen. Done this 3 or 4 times. She told me to unplug everything. She then told me to hold the divo button and the power button on the remote and to type a code. Still nothing. Told me to change batteries. I did repeated the instructions as before. She then said I needed a new remote, to go to the nearest Mediacom location.
Went to Mediacom in Gulf Shores AL, told the customer service lady the problem I was having. She walked me through on a TV how to pair and set up a remote. The instructions was nothing like the representative told me to do over the phone. The customer service lady at Mediacom still gave me a new remote just in case it was the remote.
All I had to do was hit the divo button, go to the menu bar, go to settings, pair the TV and select setup remote, select my TV name and enter codes until I found one that worked with the TV that powered off the TV then setup volume and sound. I may have left a few details here, but the lady on the phone did not give me these instructions. The representative on the phone couldn’t stop chewing on her gum long enough to answer any questions I had or to give me instructions. She was horrible and wasted my time.
I do apologize for the inconvenience and your remote was not taken care of on the first contact of calling into customer care. I have forwarded your complaint to our management.

When a neighbor accidentally ran over the cable with his mower we finally got another competent technician who actually tested all the connections in the box in front of our house and there was a hot line. He was able to connect it and we have been good ever since.

In the past 60 days I have had 2-3 service complaints that resulted in 2 service calls and yesterday's phone assistance. It started with my TV pixelating, freezing up and the TV not responding to remote. The repairman made some tweaks through the cable box menu and gave me a new remote. Everything seemed to work. A week later my WIFI kept losing its connection to the internet. This actually had been happening for several months, but got worse to where I was disconnecting the modem/router and reconnecting multiple times a day get my WIFI running. The same repairman came out and checked the outside wiring. He said there was a connection or splice in the wiring at the pole in our alley leading to the outside of our house that was shorting.
He put a new cable at the pole and dropped the line above the ground. He contacted JULIE to mark the area between the the pole and our home. I received a letter letting me know at some future date MediaCom would return to bury the cable. Yesterday my TV was again pixelating/freezing up. I called and was told there was an outage in my area and it would be fixed. The problem was resolved a few hours later. So I was satisfied until I got a bill in the mail the same day charging me for these repairs/service calls in the the amount of $29!

I like paperless billing and auto deduction from my checking account. I do not understand why you cannot email me my bill when it is ready. I should NOT have to remember to look up the bill on your website, to see the bill amount. I am a snowbird, so my billing address is in ND. If you sent the bill to ND, and they forward to me, it would be past due before I get a paper bill in the mail here. Email it or send it to my service address. Simple!
Thank you for taking my call today. I will return a call to you on Monday, 10-14-19. I will walk you through your paperless billing. We can confirm you are getting an email confirmation of your billing before deduction. Mediacom appreciates your business.

Internet service was down very early in am along with cable TV. Service did not resume until 3 pm. I work from home and it is very important that the internet service stays active. This appears to be a continual issue in this area. I never had this inconsistent type of service with Mediacom in Minnesota. Beginning to search for different service.
Good afternoon Laurie,

Rest assured we do our best to repair any service issues or outages as soon as we can and as fast as we can. At the current moment, signals are within range. It looks like the last time we had a tech out to your location was around June. If you need a service call from us, please let us know.

I would recommend Mediacom to friends. It was good service. It’s just that the timing wasn’t right. I haven’t used Mediacom before, and I wanted to try it out. It was pretty good set-up, too. I liked it. It’s just that I had it going with a roommate, and he bailed out on me. And so then I couldn’t pay it. I called them and told them to turn it off, so that I could have it again when I can get it again on a better deal.
I’ve been trying to return it, and I can’t get it returned. They closed the office here. On the 27th of last month, they closed it. I didn’t know that. And then when I went down on the 28th to turn my machines in, I couldn’t get them turned in. So I called them back and they said they were gonna send me boxes, and they didn’t. I called them back, and they said they’re gonna send me boxes, and they haven’t. Also, somebody’s supposed to be coming to my house today to pick up some of the equipment. Other than that, I really liked the service. I had Internet, cable, and telephone with Mediacom. The telephone was kinda screwed-up. It didn’t work that well. People would call and you wouldn’t hear their voice, or it would call and it would just make weird noises. The TV was great though.
Thank you for taking my call and for your wonderful review. I am showing that your boxes should arrive to your home on 10/21. I do apologize for the delay. I know that Fed Ex has had to change some of their routes due to the fires in California. If you do not see them on 10/21/2019 please call our customer service department.

No explanation as to why I had to go thru Wednesday night, all day Thursday and up until Friday @ noon without a house phone. They could have waited until Friday to cut the phone off when the rest of the work was done. Also, the installer was kind of in a hurry so he wrote his name and cell no. down for me and said to text him if I had any questions or any problems. I texted him the same day w/ questions & concerns and needless to say he never responded. After about 3 or 4 days I called the salesman who did a very good job of selling me the product. He answered and said he would call me back but it has been a week and he hasn't called me back yet. All of this activity makes me wonder what type of customer service I can expect from Mediacom in the future. It appears that once you sign up you are on your own - they don't care anymore! NOT GOOD!!!!

I had a cable pulled down by a tractor as my cable is in the air across a road. I called it in on a Saturday, I expressed the urgency as I work from the home (loss of income) and my wife has health issues in which we use the internet. Someone was due out Saturday, never showed, Sunday, never showed, Tuesday, never showed, as I was told by dispatch. The techs (there was 2 of them, outstanding techs, great job) finally showed up on a Friday around 230 pm. One dispatcher told me my bill will be adjusted. I guess I have to wait and see.

My family had a family reunion vacation at our house at ** the week of 9/7 to 9/14. Two incidents with Mediacom during that week certainly have made me unsatisfied with your customer service, attention to detail, and followup.
1.) Appararently on the night of 9/7, someone in my family tried to download some questionable programs. As a result, Mediacom removed our internet service. What pissed me off was I was not notified nor was any other entity listed on the account. I found out from one of my nephews. When I called in about it, I was preached to about this terrible programming being downloaded. Not once was did your representative apologize that I wasn't notified. I would like Mediacom to send me the documentation in the service agreement that I would have agreed to that prohibits the particular programming discussed above.
2.) The cable leading to our house was exposed on top of the yard. I reported the issue to Mediacom and gave them all the specifics. Just like I knew would happen, a regular technician showed up saying his ticket reported a 'down' cable. He said another 3rd party crew would have to come out and bury the cable & would take about a week! Sad. So, here it is 10/9 now, I'm back at home in NC, and still have not been notified whether the cable was ever buried or not!
Does this look like even respectable customer service and followup? I think you would agree it wasn't. I understand there maybe another choice of carrier in the area, not just Mediacom. I will be researching it. Please e-mail me at ** or call me at **. Andy **

They promise callbacks but the calls usually do not happen until days after the problem has already been fixed.
We do apologize for your troubles with your cable service. I show the repair ticket you had opened on 09-30-19 was closed on 10-03 when a technician came to the door and customer stated everything was working but after that I show there was additional work done in your area that caused a loss in television service. I adjust your television programming charges for those days. Between October 1st and October 13, you may notice brief interruptions in your television service due to sun outages. These interruptions can cause the picture to become snowy, pix-elated, completely blank or display a message such as ‘Channel Not Available’ or ‘One Moment Please’.

There are a lot of other providers, but we’re stuck with Mediacom because they have the higher internet speed. I really need the speed because I work on multiple computers. When we first got the internet, they had a problem with the wiring and they said that it had to be put in. Then a tech came by the house. They get in the house and out of the house. It was a nonstop thing for three months and they couldn't get it right. They were able to fix it but just recently, I noticed that it was going slow. It was less than 100. I rebooted the whole system and I would be getting about 300 or 400. Everybody in the house is complaining about the slow speed and it has been like that for a while now. Their price and speed could be a little bit better. But overall, I’ve had a lot worse.

I had Dish before, and they were starting to get awfully expensive. I had had Mediacom one other time, and I always liked them then. When I decided to go with them again, the quoted price was less than what it turned out to be. They told me that Netflix was gonna be included in the price, but it wasn’t. Also, I didn’t have any internet at first and on my television, it would say titles not showing for days before they finally got out here to get it fixed. Other than that, I’m satisfied with them so far. I watch TV practically every night and I got a note the other day that I might be getting close to what I’m supposed to have (my gigabytes), so I’m thinking I might have to go up to the next one.
Thank you for taking my call today and reviewing your account with me. Netflix as I mentioned you have access too, but you would have to have a personal account from Netflix. I removed the Showtime for you. And we upped your internet an additional $20.00 so I could get you the 400 GB of data to avoid overage fees. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please never hesitate to ask. Mediacom appreciates your business.

Our friend recommended Mediacom and everybody there has been really nice and helpful. Everything that I’ve asked, they’ve pretty much tried to do to their best ability. The installer came over and asked a few questions, and then just got started. I barely even noticed he was really here. And the service is good as well. We can stream off of multiple devices and nothing lags at all. It keeps up with what it’s supposed to be doing. I'm really happy. We watch Hulu, Netflix and YouTube. Mediacom is one of the best services we’ve ever had.
What a beautiful review. Thank you for taking the time to let us know our staff has taken care of you and made you transition to Mediacom smooth. I am happy to hear your services are working and that it is one of the best services you have ever had. Mediacom appreciates your business.

After numerous attempts over a year to get our internet service up and running, results are finally looking good. Matt ** #** was the repairman at our house last Wednesday 10/2/19. He explained to me the 2 items that most likely are the issues. So far so good. It has been a headache to be on internet doing my work and have internet drop. It was so frustrating as each worker who was assigned had not a clue.
Matt actually explained things in detail. I got so tired of hearing "if you have any trouble, just give us a call". Easy to say when each appt is a week to 10 days later. I will only use a desk top computer and having to find one is not an easy option. If I have clarifications to change, then there is the problem of leaving house again. Difficult when you are physically handicapped. I do think we should be able to get ahold of an agent earlier than going through the so-called digital voice helper. So I have high regards for this repairman. He seems to be a keeper for Mediacom. Way to go Matt!
Good afternoon Sharon,

Mediacom handles the stations that we watch Twins and the Vikings on. DirecTV and DISH do not carry those. We had DISH previously and then they cut off the Twins’ station and then I heard DirecTV was gonna get rid of channel nine, which would be the Vikings, so we went to Mediacom. We started out with Mediacom originally when cable first came to Kenyon and then, for some reason, we switched to DirecTV and then to DISH, and now I’m back to the good old standard. Everything is going fine with Mediacom. But the only thing is, I called shortly after we got Mediacom installed, and I wanted them to send me a guide as to how to work my remote control, and I haven’t gotten that yet. Other than that, the installation was great. We had a really nice guy. He had a little trouble hooking up our basement TV and our bedroom TV, and he came back and fixed it and everything’s fine. The quality of service is great.
Good afternoon Julie,
Thank you for your review and valued Mediacom business as it is greatly appreciated. We are glad that everything is going fine, and I will make sure we get the remote control guide out to you.

Mediacom was the only service available in our area. I wanted internet and Dish didn’t have it, so I chose Mediacom. The internet is the primary thing we use. My wife runs a home business so she depends upon the internet to make her sales. Basically, I just use it to watch TV. We occasionally get outages or something goes wrong with the cable box and it has to be reset. So, we call Mediacom to work out those issues. If they can do it from the office, it’s pretty quick. But if somebody has to come out, it usually takes several days to get somebody out. I hope it would be a lot faster than that. Once every three to six months we have an incident. But the service is still pretty good. We have one of the highest internet speeds from them. We have 4G TV so the quality is very good.
Thank you for your review. I show you have been a long time, customer of ours. We want to thank you for your patronage. We have been working on sooner appointment times for service call visits and we have had several updates and changes with our TiVo service. Thank you for sticking with us through our growing pains. With the addition of our streaming services you have access to more content than we ever have. It's Awesome! Mediacom appreciates your business.

I wanted to use Mediacom and I was satisfied dealing with their sales team. Everything was explained pretty thoroughly and the installation was satisfactory. We want the internet and the TV together and we've had their service for a year and a half. It's expensive, but we’re satisfied with the quality. We get quite a few channels and we get a fast service.

The latest outage isn't even being recognized, so the best they could do was give me an appointment for the 4th of November a month away from today. No tv, no internet, not even voltage on the cable. The best you can say is a month, that's just insulting.
I do apologize that you are having service issues. I have requested more information from our Technical Operations Manager in your area. Once I have more information on what is happening I can inform you and work on expediting a timely resolution. Mediacom appreciates your business.

Mediacom is the only provider in our development. We've had them for eight years for cable and internet and thus far, service has been terrible. It cuts out all the time. Also, Mediacom has never been able to get our cable right. Their techs came and told us that our house is too old to be done the way things are supposed to be done. So, they jerry-rigged everything and keep coming back out.. The last time they came out they told us we needed a new box. They ordered us a new box but then it was the wrong one. Their guy was supposed to come back the next day but then he never showed up. It has been a really poor experience. Mediacom will probably lose all their customers 'cause nobody's happy.
Thank you for taking my call today. I have scheduled a visit with you at your convenience. A technician will return to check on your e boxes and to program your remotes. I do apologize everything did not get completed for you on the day of your upgrade. Mediacom appreciates your business.

We got a cable, internet and phone package from Mediacom. Their installer was very professional. He came in, did his job and didn't waste my time. When I compare the service I get from Mediacom to my satellite, I'm happy with it. With my satellite, I was losing signal every time we had a thunderstorm. One time though, we had a problem with our TV in our living room. Service just went out and it was seven days before they could get out to do anything. Still, when Mediacom came, they took care of it. Overall, I'm pleased with the service and I like their app. I had a problem with the TV and the lady on the phone talked me through the steps using that app which was pretty cool. My problem was then corrected.

We had this internet installed with a rental modem in 2014. In 2018 we started having trouble with our speeds. Did not want to pay for a technician to come to our house. Bought our own modem. No instructions on how to send the modem back. Lo and behold we are still renting this modem. Not sure where it is. We have paid over $600 for this modem. Today I was told if we can't find it to send it back it would be another $200 for the cost of the equipment. But we have already paid three times the price for a modem that is now obsolete.
I apologize you had and issue with a modem that was left on the account. I do show the modem is off the account and I do not show any charges for the modem. As a courtesy if it was one of the obsolete modems, we have removed them without charging the customer. I do apologize for the inconvenience. I am happy we were able get the issue resolved for you to your satisfaction. Mediacom appreciates your business.

Mediacom networks with the school system and they were supposed to give a discounted rate since I got a student that goes to school but they haven’t done that. The experience with the rep was good. She didn’t know exactly what she was doing but I’ve never had issues with Mediacom. I have the Internet and I got a Lifeline phone that I’ve never utilized. I just keep forgetting about it. My husband watches a lot of movies on Netflix and my grandkids look at a lot of YouTube when they come over. I would highly suggest Mediacom to friends and neighbors.
Thank you for the wonderful review. I did review your account and I show that you have the 1 GIG internet with 6000 GB. Our very basic internet is what is on the rate for students whose parents qualify. Here would be the problem with the plan for your household. It only provides 150 GB usage allowance. If you are watching Netflix and your grandchildren are looking at You Tube. All of these are streaming data. You would go over the 150 GB and would be charged $10.00 for every 50 GB you go over. You are getting a fantastic offer on the 1 GIG service. We do have different offers though and if you want to review those we would be happy to discuss those with you. Mediacom appreciates your business.

They did resolve the problem and have taken measures to ensure my satisfaction. Took some time and several visits, but they came through. 5-stars and special recognition to the area service manager Caleb.
Original Review: Sept. 30, 2019
I subscribed for service in June and have had excessively intermittent internet service the entire time. The first tech that came out tested the lines to the box and from the box to the house and advised there was no degradation in my lines. He advised it was a known issue, in which Mediacom had recently added business subscribers to the residential switches and the problem should resolve itself in a day or two. I have no idea if this was accurate or true, or just something to check off the box and get to the next call. The issue never resolved itself and I regularly have to reset the router. The second technician claimed I had a bad router and suggested he would switch out the router. Three routers later, service was restored... for about a week!
The issue arose again this past weekend with no less than 15 router re-starts on Saturday/Sunday, and told yet again, a technician would have to come out to "test the lines". Call, rep ran a remote diagnostic and can "see issues", but it still requires yet ANOTHER day of arranging schedule and waiting for a tech to come out. We'll see if this visit results in any improvement, but get the impression phone reps and techs will say anything just to schedule an appointment and get caller off the line. After this visit, which will be the final visit if no resolution, will be cancelling and looking for another option.
Good morning John,
We sincerely apologize about your experience and any service issues that you might still be experiencing. Upon looking at the account, it looks like we had completed service calls on 05/15, 08/07, and then the most recent one in September. We hope we can retain your valued Mediacom business and will reach out to our field management for assistance. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to make things right and we look forward to acquiring a resolution.
