    The two men that came to my house were very courteous and careful not to disturb my furniture or come in with dirty feet. They had to re-route the whole cable system in my house however I am still having the same problem by losing connection to the Internet on my TV. Also they said they would come back and put a cover on the box that they put on the side of my house but they have not done that Yet.

    Good afternoon Gloria,

We are happy to hear our technicians were very courteous, careful not to disturb your furniture, or come in with dirty feet. We sincerely apologize that you’re still experiencing service issues. May we create a tech follow up for you to check things back out and to also put a cover on the box that is on the side of the home? We look forward to hearing from you.

    I like the TiVo that you provided. It offers recording, pause... along with other apps. Also I like on demand. If you miss your show, you can either record it or go to in demand and has that show available. The only thing I have a problem with for the most part is my router goes offline occasionally and you are always resetting it and unplugging everything. This is the big fix for most of the problems. It also causes your WiFi to go in and out.

    I required service, and was given an appointment for a date 6 days later. The technician arrived on time, tested my system, made some adjustments and fixed the problem. My question is why are so many technicians working on so many problems, resulting in a 6 day wait? Poor equipment? Poor infrastructure (outside long lines)?

    Good afternoon Karl,

    We sincerely apologize about your experience and will make sure to relay the feedback to our teams. We are happy to hear that the service tech was able to resolve the issues you were experiencing. The turnaround time on a service call could vary due to multiple factors such as tech staffing, vacation time, sick time, emergencies, weather issues, having to pull a tech to route to a different area, and a lot more. We always try our best to come out to conduct repairs in a timely manner and again apologize that you had to wait six days. If you have any further questions, concerns, or service issues please troubleshoot and schedule a trouble call if needed.

    Our serviceman was very knowledgeable and replaced the defective unit after confirming its status. One improvement might have been directing us to Xtream (new option) when I said we were having trouble with On Demand. I discovered this later. We use our service extensively but our budget is going to require downsizing some choices.

    It seems that when I got a special pricing the tech support guys there at Mediacom put the wrong codes. It so it knocked out my service. I called and by Monday afternoon they fixed it. I'd say this. Make sure all your Techs are on the same page. If they don't know then ask how it's supposed to be done. Don't take it upon their own and change system setting if they don't know what they're doing. Thanks.

    I find the Mediacom experience to be as good or better than all others I have experienced over that past 30 years. I consider the internet reliability to be excellent, with one issue... I run speed tests frequently and find that, too often, there is a wide fluctuation in speeds. This, I'm not totally pleased with. Other than that, I am a fan of Mediacom.

    Good afternoon Ross,

    Thank you very much for your review and valued Mediacom business as it is greatly appreciated. We are happy to hear that your experience with our company has been good and that the internet reliability is near excellent. If you’re having speed issues, we would want a tech to come out to your residence especially if you’re testing speeds properly. The way we gauge speeds is to hard wire an Ethernet cable and plug it into a desktop/laptop. This will ensure we are eliminating any of the air interference (wireless). Please let us know if we can get that setup for you.

    Mediacom in my area offers speeds of 100 down and 10 up. I have had these speeds maybe 4 months out of three years total. My speeds are constantly under 20 down which I'm sure Mediacom knows is a regulation of the FCC they are violating. My whole neighborhood has the same issues and the techs just tell us the infrastructure equipment Mediacom owns here is thirty years old and needs an upgrade to be stable. The company is crooked, doesn't worry about quality so they target rural areas with no other ISP options. I'd drop them if there was something better. Horrible experience and once I'm literally debating moving just to get better internet service. I encourage everyone to file FCC complaints on this company.

    Good morning Ien,

    We sincerely apologize about your experience. Upon looking at the account, modem registration looks proper. On the backend, we over-provision the modem at 140 mbps down and 12 mbps up to compensate for any signal loss (wireless or other factors). As long as you’re hardwired into your desktop/laptop while bypassing any router, switch, hub, and VPN we should be able to get you the proper speeds. We do see an open service call on your account for 05/24. I will forward the information to our field team for assistance, so we can diagnose the issue and see if we can acquire a full resolve.

    We have had mediacom and have always just had the triple play package with 100 MB internet and it has worked great - with a great monthly bill of around $75. We just wanted to add HBO and TIVO and I have a recorded message with the tech where my bill was only supposed to increase to $118. However the tech added 1 GB internet, Showtime, and a family package so now my bill is over $200 a month. I called and complained and they told me, "You can’t just add HBO with adding an entire plan," which makes no sense, and I would have to pay for the extra internet and Showtime I never requested and would be prorated to also pay the next month - horrible customer service. Would not recommend and currently looking at other companies. Mediacom you are more than welcome to contact me and explain this issue further because your technicians cannot. **.

    I’ve been with Mediacom for almost 5 years with TV, Internet, and phone. Mediacom is the only full service provider in my area. The first year things went fine but for the last few years I’ve had continuous problems with signal strength. This caused temporary internet failure as well as TiVO outages. I’ve made countless calls and had numerous techs out as well as their supervisor. No resolution and was told nothing they can do because it’s an intermittent problem. But they can continue to increase charges now a little over $200. It seems they highly favor new customers over existing ones. And the cost creep is ridiculous. Looking at other options....

    Mediacom values their services too much and they charge too much. I think they're swindlers. Some customer service agents are there just to collect the paycheck and read off of the computer screen. Still, others are there to actually help the customers. With Mediacom, there are typical outages. They tell me that they're working on something and that service would go out between a certain time. Also, they advertise a certain speed with their internet services. But, when they brought it to my home, it's not always that speed and it changes quite often. I wish they would stop valuing their packages so high. They charge gold prices for their services when you actually get bronze service.

    I have been a Mediacom victim for over a year now, since nothing else is available in my area. I have been paying for 1 gig service and seemed to be mostly fine before hurricane Michael destroyed their infrastructure. After, which you think would be even better since they replaced everything, I can barely even pull 600kbs upload speeds and 1/4 of my "up to" speeds. I can't reliably play a game online, I can't stream things, I can't even open websites in a timely manner. I am WIRED with Cat6 cable to everything in the house. This is not a wifi issue. Their equipment also provides the same results. They have sent techs out that even removed the filters on my lines which just introduced more uncorrectable modem errors than ever and it has been even worse since.

    Why am I paying for them then, you might ask? Who else can I use? Wireless is a joke for any moderate to heavy internet user. Mediacom is all I have but I'm not going to sit here and be silent about it. It doesn't help that their customer service blames me for owning a better modem than they provide every time and it has been proven already to be on their end when they replaced mine with theirs which I quickly switched back. It's also very difficult to understand most of their customer service reps due to outsourcing to other countries. The reps are also ill informed and WILL NOT send you to any form of advanced tech support. This company sucks. Can't wait to move out of their area. When I like Comcast better than you, that's not a mark of honor. That's pathetic.

    We recently moved and scheduled a transfer of services. While installing a new line into the house, the installer drilled through a 40 amp service wire and ignited our insulation. My husband attempted to put out the flames with our fire extinguisher but the smoke overtook the house. DMFD had to be called to put out the smoldering insulation. During the fire department's service they had to spray much of our half finished basement with water. This took place 4/27. It is 5/1 and I have not received a single call from Mediacom.

    I have Mediacom's TV, internet and telephone. When the installer came, he only installed one telephone jack. Then, he put my modem for my internet on my television that goes over a heat fan and there's no way I can move it. I do not even have the big deal that one can go through to record. All I have are three little boxes. I had Mediacom at one time in the past and they started just raising my bill and kept raising it. I don't even get very many channels that are any good. So, it is frustrating. I switched but then I went back to them because it was 75% off. However, I have never gotten the 75% off and they're raising my bill again, same to what they did in the past. My bill was supposed to be 69 something but the first payment I got was 90 or 89. Now, it's up to a 110. It keeps going a little higher every month. Customer service has been good whenever I spoke to the reps but I'm not happy with the services at all.

    Good afternoon Sandra,

    We sincerely apologize about your experience and will look further into the issues. We want to clarify how our phone system works. There should be a telephone line in the tel 1 slot in our modem and the other end of that telephone line can run preferably either into a base phone set or a phone wall jack if your home has them pre-installed already. We do not install phone wall jacks to my knowledge.

    Upon looking at the account, it is showing your package start date was on 06/27/18 with no mention of any billing issues in the notes. For us to diagnose and resolve an issue, we would need to be aware of the problem first. Since it will be almost a year in about a month, we can try looking into lower priced offers for you if you’re interested. We will contact you and if you have any further concerns please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Have a good day!

    Mediacom is a lot cheaper and has a lot better internet service than the DISH I had. Their sales team was wonderful too. I called them to try to see what I could get, and we were able to work out a plan. I got to keep my internet, which my stepson already had through Mediacom. We wanted internet and extended basic, and the rep found a package where I could get all of that plus the phone for just a little bit more than I was paying for DISH TV. So, I was very thrilled they found me a package that I needed and that was affordable.

    The installation team that came was very prompt and polite. We had had Mediacom before so everything was already ran and it was a really easy deal for them to get us hooked up. It was really good service and everything works great. The only problem I have is that the voice and the picture don’t always match, but if I change the channel and change it back, then it’s on track again. It's probably my TV that has a problem 'cause it also did that when we had DISH. Then, we also don’t watch a lot of TV and I don’t need a whole bunch of channels like DISH had. I just need the basic stuff and I’m good. I’m on the internet more. So, the whole experience was fine and I would also recommend Mediacom.

    Original Review: April 21, 2019

    Moved to another part of our city not serviced by Comcast, so I've been with Mediacom for four months. First, the original cable installer didn't show. Second, bill goes up $42 after three months, $180 for their basic TV and slowest internet package. Apparently, Tivo had a promo for three months that I didn't hear about when signing up. So now I have to get another cable guy out to downgrade equipment. Apparently they automatically cancel if you can't get to the phone in time to take the "be there in 20 minutes" call. So they cancelled. I took time off of work to be home for this. Overall, my impression of the company and its phone reps is that they are not as customer-focused and knowledgeable as Comcast. That cancelled service call is the last straw. Will start researching alternatives starting Monday.

So, I took the small one that was $40 something, but it seems like it keeps going up all the time. I started at about 40 and it went up to 42 and 44, and now it's up to 48 or 49. I don't know why it keeps creeping up. I called Mediacom about it and they said, "Well, the taxes are going up or something." I told them, "I'm old and I need the senior citizen deal." It was just as it was and that's the way it is. If it gets up to a hundred dollars, like some people are paying, I couldn't do it.

    The cable went out a couple of times on me. I don't know why, but I guess it went out everywhere. One of the guys that live here knew about TV, and he came down here and tried to run the stations through like the techs do. But then, come to find out here, it would just shut off for a period of time for some reason. I didn't know why. So, everybody's was off and I didn't know it. And then, I did that the other night here. I was trying to get my station on and I had a hard time doing it, but I never called anybody.

    This is most likely included in the long Terms & Conditions no one reads, but MediaCom will not give you any sort of heads up. One year after signing up for Internet/TV, I was surprised by a price increase to my bill with no service upgrades. After questioning them about it, I was told about the 2 year promotional, the price would increase after year one and after year 2. I could live with that as I'm sure many internet/cable companies do the same thing. Now after 2 years and my second price increase, I'm being told it will increase again after year 3 and year 4. By that time, I will be paying double what I originally signed up for. I will be changing my service before the next price increase. There is enough competition out there for good internet and having to go through the headache of changing my service is worth saving the extra $960 per year from what I originally signed up for.

    I moved to an apartment so I couldn't put up an antenna. I had to get cable and that service has been fine. But I’ve had trouble with my phone, which is also on Mediacom. With the TV, there have been three times when there were outages. But with my phone, I’ve had problems with it several different times. At one time, they told me that the battery was bad but it wasn’t. I would be talking then the phone would just shut off or I’d just lose them. Sometimes, it would come back and sometimes, it wouldn’t. Mediacom has always come right away to fix it though. As soon as they could, they would come to see what the problem was. The customer service has been fine too. All in all, I would recommend Mediacom.

    A few months ago I was contacted about switching my internet only service to also include phone and cable. I was ensured that my bill would go down and also that I could cancel at any time. Then the service rep was supposed to come during a set time... never showed up. I ended up having to call Mediacom to figure out where he was. He texted me and said he’d be coming... still never showed up. Then texted me back after 10 pm asking if he could come the next day.

    Finally showed up the next day and supposedly couldn’t do it because he didn’t have the right tools. A few days later he came back, late again, and got most of it done but still couldn’t fix it - said someone else needed to come out. Then a different guy came and said we needed maintenance on our line and was going to call it in. He never called it in... we had to call back to see why it still wasn’t fixed. I should’ve just said forget it right then!!

    Fast forward to today - I called to cancel our phone and cable and go back to internet only because we never use either of those services and I’ve noticed my cost slowly rising on us. As a reminder I was ensured this plan would be cheaper and could cancel anytime. Now I’m paying at least $5 more per month and it keeps getting higher a little bit each month. On the call I was told that there would be a fee for someone to come out to my house, even though I’m still keeping their services and am not in a contract. I just don’t understand a business that tries to squeeze every little amount of their customers and at that, punish people for staying with them by raising costs and providing worse and worse service. Most places would be out of business in that scenario.

    Good afternoon Cierra,

    We sincerely apologize about the experience. Upon looking at the account, it looks like the last completed service call at this address was on 10/01/18. Are you experiencing any service issues? If you’re experiencing service issues, we would like to create a tech service call for you.

    Also, you’re not under a contract. If you would like to downgrade to internet only you can. As a courtesy we will waive the $29.XX service charge. We normally charge customer’s a service fee when we come out to upgrade or downgrade services.

    We try to keep our rates as low as we can, but it has been difficult in doing so. Rising costs in operating expenses, maintenance costs, taxes, fees, and surcharges have been some of the primary factors. We will always try our best to keep service rates low while being able to provide consistent and reliable services.

    If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. As always, thanks for your valued Mediacom business as it is greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful day!

    Thanks,

    I used Mediacom a couple of years ago, and I chose to go with them this time. I’ve been very happy with the services. They had to come out and fix the TV and set things up. And my experience was good. They were done changing my channels okay, and everything’s working out fine. The tech helped me. He didn’t get upset because I didn’t know anything about it, and I had to learn. And he taught me in his visit here. After he hooked up the TV, he went through the whole remote control and showed me how to work it. He was very patient. And if everybody that works for every company was like that, there’d be a lot of happy people in the world.

    At this point, everything’s working okay. I got Mediacom for half-price for a year. It’s a special they had going on here in my apartment building. So, when the year’s up, I don’t think I’m gonna be able to afford it because right now, at half-price, I’m still paying $70 a month. And I can’t pay 140. So, I may have to give it up unless I get another deal in the mail.

    Our Mediacom service sucks. From time to time, we don’t have internet. It doesn’t really connect too well at the area we're in. I can’t connect my TV sometimes. I’ll have to turn off the modem and reboot it a couple of times. But our cable works just fine. The price was nice for that first year, but then, it just skyrocketed after that. But the interactions with their customer service team have been great. They have a lot of great employees. Everyone has been friendly and kind.

    I've had Mediacom in the past, and their service was real good. I decided to go back to them and went through Xtream. The reps have been very helpful. I use their internet service and the quality is all right. I need to upgrade my equipment but it's working fine. I'm on fixed income and I cannot hardly afford the service, but I gotta have it so I can take care of some business online. My health is so bad and I cannot get out very much so their service is like a lifeline to me. But some kind of a discount for shut-ins or for elderly people would be very helpful. Other factions I've dealt with have that but how come Mediacom does not? I'm paying about $40 a month for it. If I have a discount, it would help me immensely.

    I’ve been with Mediacom for 20 years and the experience has been alright until this last year. I missed my basketball games two weeks ago and I'm gonna call back in and get a credit for it. It has just started and it is something between CBS in our area. I got this little modem box, so I could watch the OWN network. My cable lines in our condo were old but after they rewired them, it is now better. That happened within the last month also. Their customer service is usually good and most of the times, I just ask for credit for my late fee. The monthly bill has been consistent but they need to reduce it. I have telephone and TV from them, and they always call and suggest that if I get internet, my cost could be reduced. However, as long as I work for the government, I will go there and use it.

    Original Review: April 1, 2019

    I have purchased a home in Lillian, AL and HS internet is a MUST for me. I had been a long time Mediacom customer with no prior complaints. I called Mediacom to ensure the property I was looking at was able to get Mediacom service and they said, "Absolutely, no problem" and that property has had service before. I would not have bought the house without being able to get HS internet... When the installer came out he told me no, that I was 43' to far from the drop and could not install it. I genuinely think the guy just did not want to climb the pole as he was very overweight.

    I called customer support several times to no avail, they could care less. I offered to purchase a signal booster, whatever it took. One customer rep, the last one I spoke with found the house had indeed had service before and would talk to her supervisors because this sounded wrong and her supervisors there were very good etc. It's been months with no action... I am barely limping along on DSL, I am so disappointed in Mediacom right now and like for me is very difficult as I need HS internet for my job and my wife's college.

    Updated on 6/28/2019: I wrote a review a while back about Mediacom cable and the messed up service and trauma there was at attempting to start the whole process going. Now, I am the first to admit that after it gets going and the billing and prices and stuff are situated, there is very little else that could go wrong, but I thought it was real messed up that they labeled my review as resolved when it never has been, without my knowledge that it shows as resolved until now.

    And when Mediacom responded to my review they suggested that I contact them with a good contact info, which sounds real caring and all that, but they did not give contact info for themselves on how I should contact them, because there is another very serious incident I would love to speak to someone about besides their low ranking telephone reps that has to do with DNS redirect and modems that are hacked into causing my entire system to go whacked out causing me to be forced to replace every single piece of equipment I own and had connected to each other.

    I would like to find out if Mediacom has some type of security department and are interested and active in investigating possible hacks to their equipment and if anyone higher up in the company are interested and aware of what had happened that totally wiped out my entire system, security, stability and still causes me fear that much of my financial well being is faked and totally wiped out.

    Original Review: There is no way.. every phone rep changes prices and bills and passwords without you knowing it. Nightmare to get started! And watch out for any quotes they make you, since the next one won't follow it.

    I have internet, phone and cable through Mediacom. I don't like how their service goes out all the time. When the wind is blowing or there are snow flurries, the service goes out. Still, I had a good experience with their reps and they worked very well. When the outages occur, I call someone out to see what's wrong with the phone because when the cable comes back on, the phone doesn't. The outages last for over 2 hours. One time, I went to bed and the cable was fine then. However, when I woke up, it was off, and it took Mediacom most of the day to get it working.

    Mediacom is priced a lot cheaper than CenturyLink and I had a fine experience with the reps when I was purchasing the service on the phone. When I first purchased it, I wanted to get my own receiver. And the receiver that they said I needed, I couldn’t find locally. It was cheaper than what Mediacom had. Now, Mediacom has like 149, so I went ahead and purchased theirs. As soon as I got that, I just exchanged or took my rental one back into them. I had to have the wiring installed, and the installation guy had put that box on the side of the house, and this was in the middle of winter. There was snow on the ground and I didn’t see how he even got out there to do that. The box came in two pieces where you bolt the main piece on then you hook the door on and lock it.

    The installation guy didn’t get the box lashed, and the only thing that was holding the box on was the lock part and the box was half open hanging down. It was about three or four days later, we’ve seen it. And I called him once about it. I asked him something about when I get my new router, ‘cause the guy didn’t install it. He said that he’d probably have to come down and set it up, which evidently, they didn’t, so I’ve done that over the phone with them, which I got that taken care of. But he never did come back down and fix that box on it. Also, using Mediacom was a little rough for me at first ‘cause it’s the first time I’ve had a computer. I’m still getting used to it, trying to get it all figured out. But it does what I want it to do and I’d recommend it to anybody else that needed the internet ‘cause it’s inexpensive and everything seems to work fine.

    I like Mediacom. They have a very professional team and it's really good whenever I interact with them. I have streaming, cable, Wi-Fi and phone services with them. However, when I'm playing my Call of Duty: Zombies, I get kicked out of a lot of games. I'll play for about 10 minutes and they're disconnecting. This happens once a week. Also, when I go online to pay for my bill, the bill doesn't actually show up. It shows me last month's bill. So then, what I do is since I know what the total is because they mail it to me, I just deposit that on the account with my credit card. But, I just wanna be able to see the bill. Still, I'm satisfied with Mediacom.

    Mediacom was something that my parents had suggested. They said that the service was good quality, not overpriced, and the bundles were nice. I've had Mediacom for six months now and they've been really good. They provide internet and TV services for us. The sales representative, Kim, was helpful. He tried to find us the best deal and didn't charge when they forgot to put in the second modem. The installers did the installation in one day which was amazing. The service started working directly afterwards and the internet quality is good. We got all the channels that we wanted and more, and it was really good. I enjoyed working with Mediacom.

    Mediacom's reps are all nice and polite. They’ve answered my questions with the best of their abilities, which is great. And if I ever needed help and I called, they always knew how to fix the problem I had. I used to have cable with them, but I had to get rid of the cable because a roommate left and I had to cut down to Wi-Fi only, which is great because with the Wi-Fi, I can do everything else that I need, like YouTube and Google.

    When we first got the internet, it was cutting out every three weeks and then shortened out to every three days. It was weird. But then after I got rid of the cable, it was stopped and then we would always have internet, but then it would cut out every so often. We always thought it was the building or the weather. And then, when someone came in to check on my box in the building that runs all the Wi-Fi and cable, he told me that the building needed a new box. Someone was supposed to come in and take a look at it, but no one ever did. I followed-up once and they said they didn’t recollect anyone to be sent this way to check it out.

    Mediacom was what we’ve always had in my house. Me and my hubby separated, and I called and got it turned back on in my name. I had some issues with them that I wasn’t happy with at first but we finally got that resolved last month. When the guy came, turned it on and hooked it up, it was $180. So, I gave him $80 in cash, and then I used my debit card from my work that my paycheck was on. They lost the debit card payment and they couldn’t find it. So, they kept billing me for three months and I was getting frustrated with them. Finally, I found some of my paperwork from when the guy came and installed everything. I found the reference number and they still couldn’t find my payment. I don’t know if they ever found it but it was taken out of my account.

    I have no way of getting any printout with my debit card. I can get online and see the payment was taken but there’s no information to tell them what number they applied it to. Last month was the first one that didn’t have that extra payment on it. Everything was good with their customer service. They were nice to me whenever I called and asked them why it was still on my bill. They were professional and friendly with me whenever I talked to them so it wasn’t bad a deal where I had to scream at them. They promised they were trying to find it and they would get it taken care of, and they did. I got the Wi-Fi from Mediacom and installing it was easy. All the rep had to do was bring me a new box, put it in, activate it and he was done. It didn’t take him 10 minutes, so it was an in and out deal. I had to reset my box one time but other than that, I didn’t have any issues.

    iPad Mini income back in February $154. I called them up to have my cable turned back on. They say I still owe $224. They sent a representative to knock on my door for the modem and the cable box. Mediacom do not have a payment plan, do not care about customers and they want to know why they get a low rating? You think that will work this out with me but no - already paid $154. Again they refused to turn on my cable. I need to pay another $224. That's $307. What a joke for a company.

We always try to give our customers plenty of time to pay their balance but unfortunately in this situation the account was almost 2-3 cycles behind. If you would like to reconnect services, we would need the full balance to be paid, plus a re-connection fee, and the first month of service.

    My service is down again, so I am writing this on my cellphone. (Thank you MediaCom for making me use my data unnecessarily again). This happens several times a week. They have replaced or supposedly fixed their modems installed in our house at least three times in the few years we have been with them. The last time was just a few weeks ago. There was a service call scheduled, and no one showed up and no one called. Why should we as consumers have to pay for service that we are unable to use. We have phone, cable, and internet through them. So, when service goes out, our phones do not work.

    I have 2 teenage sons that in an emergency, I am not secure in knowing the phones will be working when they need them. Calling customer service is an absolute waste of time. We have spent hours on the phone with these people and get nowhere. We are getting tired of paying for junk service from a greedy company that could care less. I buy a shirt with a defect, I get a refund. The small business I work for makes a mistake, we have to compensate the customer. Why does MediaCom have the right to charge for service its customers are not receiving, and they are not fixing?

I'm a baseball nut and it was advertised that a game was coming on that night. I sat there and waited for the ball game to come on, but as soon as the game was supposed to start I was notified that due to unauthorized channels the game would not be showing. This happened three times. Then one night, as I was watching TV, I got up and went into the kitchen to get a drink of water. But when I came back, the channels had changed. I'm with Mediacom now and I don't have those problems. I've had their TV service for a few months now and I'm really happy with them. My experience with them went great.

    Mediacom was the only cable company that was available to us 30 years ago and we’ve always been with them. As soon as we had cable, we got connected with them. We wanted to be able to get cable so we could get good reception. We now have Mediacom's internet service too. My husband who passed away four months ago was the one that used the internet. But I have grandkids that come out once in a while and they have smartphones. So, I keep the internet service for that, although I don’t do the internet, the computer or the iPad. I called Mediacom a while back to see if I could get my rate lowered a little, but they said they couldn’t do anything about that. So, I’ve been thinking about discontinuing my service with them and looking to see what else is out there. If people don’t use the service much, they should not be charged as much as people that use it all the time, but it seems like they are doing that.

After playing phone tag with him for 2 weeks we finally got together and I signed the new contract electronically. Justin also informed me that I would be getting credited the extreme amount I had been getting overbilled from the time my contract expired that it would only take a couple billing periods to show up (my price went up from approx. $95.00 a month to $223.00 per month the new contracted price was $129.95).

    So for the past 5 months I had been getting overbilled approx. $100.00 by them, I again contacted Justin and he said he would get back to me after he checked on it a week no word from him I again contacted him and he said that there was a mix-up in paperwork and he would let me know when it was straightened out. Again no word from him or anyone else. All of a sudden my computer was down and I couldn’t connect. They sent a service guy out and he said that my wireless was cut off and I needed a new modem.

The front desk people that I've talked to have been very polite and helpful, making it as easy as possible to get the service turned on and off. The only problems that I had while I'm here this season is when one of the service techs came out and by accident, turned my service off because he was doing something for another person behind me. At that time, I didn’t know that’s what it was and I had a hard time finding somebody to come out and fix the problem. I was without service for almost three weeks because it was really a busy time. So I was frustrated about that.

    I also went through the same thing for about 10 days when I first got here. So it was like I paid for a month of service that I didn’t have. The first time was in November and the second time was towards the end of January and the first week of February. I asked them to credit me a month of service but I haven't seen anything yet about it. Nonetheless, when the service is on, I'm very happy with it.

But I keep losing my internet three or four times a week. Now, I have to call them, and there's an automated answering service and through that, they've been able to diagnose the problem, and reset the modem on their end. So, that has been taken care of. I did have a guy come out a couple of weeks ago, and he said there was nothing wrong with it. But there's something wrong and it varies. I can go a number of days with no problem and then all of a sudden, it'll happen two or three times in a row. I don't know what's going on, but it's not difficult for me to call them or go through their automated system. I don’t want anybody coming out since they don’t do anything. But the next time the problem happens, I am going to have to get somebody out to look at it.

    We had some problems with DirecTV and we would never go back to them. We needed more than what we had so we signed up with Mediacom. I got internet and the basic package for cable. The installation guy was quick and very polite. He had a good personality. The quality of the service is pretty good. We've never had problems with it going out, even in any of the storms that we've had.

    I had Mediacom before and recently, I went with them again and signed up for their cable, internet, and phone service. So far, I don’t understand the channels they have. They show movies that are 40 years old or more over and over again and we get charged for them. But they're old movies and who wants to watch them? Mediacom is charging way too much, so I had them take off some of those channels. After that, I thought it'd stay at 148 but my bill still went up to 152.50. It's not supposed to be higher and I'll be calling Mediacom about it. When people have to pay that much money, they are always somewhat dissatisfied. Also, they came and put in some trivial boxes. They said they'd be free then they started charging for them so I had to take them out.

    It was convenient for us to go with Mediacom and their sales team was pretty good. Installing the equipment went good as well and so far, we got their internet and phone service. Sometimes, it seems like the internet is a little slow. As a matter of fact, we were thinking about trying to upgrade to a higher speed to address that issue. Also, whenever we try to call Mediacom to get anything done, we are kept holding off a long time. But other than that, we’re pleased with their service.

    I’ve been with Mediacom since 2001. All the other cable and internet companies here suck and Mediacom is just the better of the worst of all evils. I have usage issues every single day. My son is in high school and he has a tablet to do his homework so when the internet is down, he has to go to other people’s houses to do his homework. I've called and I’ve had them come out four times this year. And usually when the techs come in, they don’t tell me what’s going on. They'd just go down and say that everything is fixed and then they leave. They made me feel like I’m in the wrong. They made it seem like they’re coming in for no reason and I don’t know if they’re putting that on the paperwork.

    Initially, the techs said the problem was the box. So, they kept swapping out boxes saying that was the key, but it wasn’t. The problem is outside of my house in the cable somewhere and it is getting jumbled up. The problem is usually the wireless internet, not the cable. We get Netflix and we can never get on Netflix because our internet’s down. We don’t even watch Netflix anymore because when my kids watch a TV show, the internet would drop halfway through so they'd get pissed and then they'd blame me. One tech told me that I had to get rid of my TVs so that my internet would work better. But we only use three and I only have one box. So, I only get the stuff that I pay for on one one TV only. The other two only get the basic things. I went to the office and told their rep what their tech said and she laughed. Those are the kind of techs that are sent into my home. They have no clue what they’re doing. There are some really good ones though.

    Nevertheless, they have really good people that work for them and they really help. They know that there are issues and that the service is not always perfect. When you go into their office, they are super understanding and they would say, "We get it." I know it’s not their fault. I just don’t like paying money for things that should work properly but aren’t being fixed. The cable is just too expensive. I’m a single mom and I’m paying 150 a month for both internet and cable which is crazy. I wouldn’t mind paying it but it consistently have problems and I got tired of calling so I just left it. If it works, it's okay, if it doesn’t, it's okay too.

Then they sock me with a cancel termination fee of $6,797.12 when they failed to honor their own contract. Do yourself a favor. Stay far away from this trashy company.

    In Gulf Shores, AL we have one choice, it's Mediacom. Our Services has a tendency to go out a lot. Not sure if it’s because of corrosion, salt air etc, but I suspect poor management locally. My service has been out now for well over a week, (that I know of) I called repeatedly to get someone out to fix the problem, which we now believe strongly through deduction to be on the pole. The pole in front of my house is an embarrassment and looks like a spaghetti dinner, wires all over the place. I was told by a neighbor that they had issues with service for 2 weeks, I was also told that a bucket truck had been out a day before we arrived in town working on the pole. Who knows??

    I complained. I needed service for business (not to play video games). They set an appointment for the 20th, yesterday and then also promptly cancelled due to no one around to get the job done. This house is a second home, not our main residence. In addition, I went to lunch on Saturday and saw 2 Mediacom trucks sitting in the parking lot of Mediacom with 4 guys in the trucks, I came back 1 1/2 hours later to still see these same guys sitting in the trucks. I asked them if they had me on the list to be checked out, they said no. As soon as I pulled out, they both pulled out. Break time was over a long time ago I’m sure.

    Again, poor management from the top locally I’m sure not paying attention. When you are the only game in town you can get away with this poor service. I am hoping the city of Gulf shores brings in competition to give these guys a run for their money, they will be gone. As it stands now, I still have no service, appointments cancelled, I have renters coming who are expecting service, not going to happen, pathetic service for Mediacom.

    First off, I want to be sure to state that I have no issues with the Installers and/or technicians that came to fix my internet issues. These events took place over a 5 week span. Initially my internet service degraded to a point where I would sometimes noted speeds in excess of 60mbps, other times it would register less than 1MBPS.

    The first technician noted we would need a different router, reasonable, however he did not have one on the truck. I truly wonder how a business that installs internet services pretty much daily, however that was the case. The best info that tech had was that they were coming within a few days. An appointment was set for the following Monday (6 days later) to install. No one showed up. No one called to cancel the appointment, another appointment was set up and they missed that one. We called Mediacom back and they set up another appointment. The tech came a few days later, and informed us the router was fine, and we were getting a full signal to the router, and it was working at that moment, and told us we needed to buy a WiFi extender. The problems continued.

    There was also an issue with a neighbors system in that they installed a better router and were set up with a higher speed. There were issues with that system, and the eventually uninstalled the new system. We were told that the solution may be to buy our own router. The building manager and I spent more than 20 combined hours researching the possible issues. The building supplies the internet service and she stepped up and at least attempted to find a solution. Overall this process ran over a 5 week span.

    I got all three services from Mediacom, but I only have TV and internet right now. I’m still waiting for Mediacom to sort over my previous phone number.

It was my previous provider that disconnected the service, and it’s becoming a little hassle right now, but I’m not blaming Mediacom. But so far, all my family is pretty happy with the TV.

    The guy that did my contract seemed to be professional, but there might be a little problem with the guys that work out on the field trying to get sales and people at the office. They have to be a little bit more communicative. The salespeople should be able to have a better contact with the office so both parties are on the same page. Other than that, I’m happy with the services. The move that I did so far is working out because the internet is faster. I would recommend Mediacom.

    In Dec. 2018 we contacted Mediacom Home Security because our smoke alarm and motion detector sensors were not working. Service tech came and tried 4 different smoke detectors and all were giving false alarms. The tech removed the smoke detector indicating that he would follow up and schedule a replacement. After two months, I contacted Mediacom to try and get the problem resolved and get partial pro-rated account credit for the 2 months without fire/smoke protection.

    The customer service rep I spoke with told me that it was my problem because I had not contacted them sooner to tell them the smoke detector wasn't working (even though their rep removed the detector and never followed up). I attempted to explain the situation but the rep on the phone failed to listen to the details, continued to blame me for not calling sooner, indicated that there was no way to obtain partial credit to the account and continued to talk over me throughout the "conversation". Finally I relented and said forget about any account credit and let's just get the problem resolved. He then scheduled an appointment for today to troubleshoot the smoke detector (which is not here).

    Completely exasperated. I am waiting for the tech to show up between 1 and 5 pm (not here yet, it's 4 pm). I have never experienced a more frustrating "customer service" interaction where I was accused of being the source of the problem and the rep claimed that they had no record of the outcome of the prior service call.

    We’ve been a customer of Mediacom Cable for a long time and our experience with the company has been good throughout the years. Back at the time, I didn’t think all of the other internet or cable providers were available and I didn’t know anything about them. My husband is 89 and I’m 86, we don’t have a computer, our phone is with AT&T, and we have just the regular program for the TV that we watch, but the cost of the service has just gone up to $110 for us. On the other hand, my son and his wife have a computer and they have the TV, their phone, and the internet on the same program with Mediacom, but they only pay 130 something. So, it seems to me that for what we get, it's is getting to be very expensive for us.

    The cost has gradually gone up. Also, one thing they do that I don’t agree with is that the service fee went up to $105 and there was no notice that it was being raised. Then just recently, with the last bill, it went up to $110. I don’t think it’s a good practice to raise a person’s bill with no explanation. Other than that, the customer service interactions that we’ve had with the representatives were good experiences. Everything was fine and everything went well.

    I'm totally dissatisfied with Mediacom. We were promised what our monthly payment would be after they deducted the $15 a month for three years. That's not true. Then, we found out that we're supposed to be getting a $200 credit card. I haven't got an answer on that one yet. Some people say you do, some people say you don't. Also, they set it up to have everything here to install it on the 4th of January. The equipment wasn't even here yet. So, then we had to back set it to the 11th of January. The equipment showed up and we got everything hooked up. And the next thing we know, we'd be scrolling through their guide to find something to look at, and it just starts flying through them all by itself. Then, we started getting the checkerboard channel, and we'd lose volume or checkerboard picture. So, then we finally got somebody here. We came to find out it's the box. They give us all of these excuses.

    Now, I'm waiting. A guy named Jim was supposed to call me back, and I missed a call, but he left me a message and said he would call me today. A week and a half ago before that, I talked to some other guy that said he was some type of supervisor. He's supposed to get everything straight. The original lady that we talked to, Angela, came through with this whole deal and told us everything and what it was gonna be. She also gave us a phone number and an extension. But that is totally worthless because you call the phone number and you get to all these recordings. You can't get to that extension. Nobody knows Angela. Nobody knows anything, but her actions got this ball rolling.

    They should get rid of automated answering machines and hire people to answer a telephone! Also, they should make sure they know what they are talking about! I don't know how many calls I made, and it was totally ridiculous! Now, I've got a good idea of why my neighbor had them hook it up, and two weeks later, he had it disconnected.

    I was told in the beginning that it would be $187 a month for three years after getting the $15 a month discount for click and switch. So, that hasn't happened. Another person told me, "Oh, well, it's gonna go up 20 bucks a year, every year! That's not gonna be so. You're gonna pay every year. It's gonna jump up $20 a year." So, now instead of my bill being 187, it's gonna be 202! It's totally ridiculous! It's nothing but one big gamut of lies! I would not recommend them. I got no choice but to keep them now. I switched my emails, my computer, my telephone, my TV to them! And then in the beginning, when they'd done it all, before the guy walked out of the house and hooked it all up, we had to give $254 and then got a bill right away for the first month!

    So far, Mediacom's service is good. But I haven’t always been happy with Mediacom. The first time was lousy. They kept me on the phone for a service call for 90 minutes, and I hung up the phone and drove down town and gave them the equipment and said, “We’re done.” But I was mad at another cable company, and Mediacom was local. So I went back to them.

    I have their phone, cable, and internet services. I've had a problem with Fox News. It seems to me like they’re afraid somebody’s gonna say something, so they block the sound. But it could be Fox News. Also, when I call the service, I have no idea where they’re located. It’s probably a long distance call, but I get a recording and they try to fix the TV. And it’s hilarious because all you really want to do is talk to a live person because, usually, the problem isn't anything that the automated thing is trying to fix for you. I hate that. By the time I'm done with that, I have to take a few deep breaths not to take it out on the live person who’s going to help me. The internet has been fine. I have been drawn off the internet by whatever’s happening in the city. But I’ve always been able to get back on. So, I’ve really not had any problems.

I recently called because my bill has slowly increased by $30 over the last 3 years which is an increase I could stomach if I had even a halfway reliable internet connection. With children & attending college online this poor connection has caused me to have to retake courses & chauffeur my children to library on a regular basis to complete homework assignments.

    I unexpectedly sold my home and ever since I moved into this condominium, I’ve had trouble. I’ve had at least four young technicians here at the house because my phones just go out. Now, my kitchen phone is hooked to a modem and even it was out. It took a week to get anybody from Mediacom to look at it for me. The technicians told me twice that I needed a new phone, so I bought new ones. The bedroom phone never would work and my neighbor came over and moved my brand-new phone to four different jacks in this condominium. There is no power at the jacks so I bought two new phones I probably didn’t need.

    I finally got a young man yesterday. He finally explained that Mediacom doesn’t take care of those jacks. It has to be an electrician and told me what kind of phones to go get. Our weather has been horrible so I have not gone out to get different phones. The servicemen could have taken such a short time to check my phones with the jacks in the wall and found out that the jacks were dead. Then, I wouldn't have had to buy two new phones. Those were perfectly good ones and I disposed of them because they told me they were dead. The first time, I was to buy a new battery, which I did. Then I bought a new phone and finally, the same kid said that he was gonna bring me a new modem. He could've done that the first time. Most of the young people who come for Mediacom do the least thing they can do. They don’t want to work.

    When I called Mediacom’s main office and talked to someone there, they were very polite and helpful. However, they're not in Red Oak and they don’t see the problem here. All they can do is set up an appointment time. Oftentimes, we have to wait a long time to get any help. Since they are so busy, they must have a lot of problems with Mediacom or they wouldn't be that busy or maybe they don’t have enough help. Hopefully, when I get these new phones, everything will be smooth and I won't have any more problems.

    When my cable box went bad, the same young man that Mediacom kept sending back said I needed a new cable box. He was very nice and pleasant to work with except he didn’t work. He came in, brought the cable box in and then, he worked until 7 o'clock and left. I turn my TV and I didn’t have any. So, I got behind my TV and he hadn’t hooked it up. I'm not saying that everywhere Mediacom has the same problem and maybe I'm just too picky, but he could have at least hooked up the TV instead of making an 80-year-old move the stand and get behind the TV and see what was wrong. He put in a black wire but he hadn’t hooked up the red, blue and green. I had to do that myself in order to get a picture.

    I'm not very happy with Mediacom but I'm stuck with them because I have a life alert and cellular does not work here because we don’t get AT&T here in Red Oak, Iowa. If I had not signed up for this life alert which has to be hooked up to the modem, I would get rid of Mediacom. They were getting paid and oftentimes, I gave them $29 extra just because they came to the house and they still didn’t solve the problem.

    At the time that I moved into the home, Mediacom was the only option as an internet or cable provider so we used them but I've also had them before that. The service has been okay but this past summer, I had a full month of problems with constant outages for internet and cable. Finally, the main service manager from the local office had to come in with a crew and rewire all the walls because the original wiring that the guy from Mediacom did wasn’t very well. He left the wires loose, and then they had to replace the modem and put in a new line outside. That took about two months to bury. I had to keep calling until they came and buried it.

    It seems like when you call, it depends on what service agents you get. I know that they can reset the box from the main company and sometimes they would get a service technician that says that they can’t restart the box or the modem and tell me they’re gonna have to send a service provider. Then, I would unplug it and replug it and it finally starts working.

    Also, they can lower their rates a little bit. I renegotiated my rates. Two years, it was supposed to be like 170 something and then the next month, I got a note saying that the prices were going up, so now I’m up to 186 in the couple of months, so I’m close to $200. The rate packages are just ridiculous because you’ll get them for one but then they go up $20 a year. And you have to keep doing an oral contract for two or three years and it just keeps going up, so it’s gonna be another $20 next year. And I recently got laid off so I may consider taking the service out altogether. I keep getting letters from Spectrum and now, CenturyLink and Socket are all servicing this area, so I have considered changing because the rates are so high.

    We sincerely apologize about your experience. We are glad to hear that services have been working okay now. As far as pricing, if a customer isn’t paying full price rate, rates will normally increase annually until the bundle or package they are in reaches full price rate. At the current moment, you’re in the first year of your contract promotion. To lower your service rate and not break the contract, you could reduce the amount of Tivo units you have or lower your cable service subscription.

    Our experience with Mediacom has not been easy, but I've been a customer for a long time probably for 15 years. I have cable and internet. One of the things that happened was that a bunch of new services was added to my account that I never asked for, and it took me a couple of months to get that straightened out. These rate raises happen every few months and I only find them out when I go pay the bill. You can't fix anything over the phone. If you have an issue, you have to go and wait in line. They are not very customer-friendly, to be honest. They never give any answer on that in their physical location. I can say that pretty confidently having worked in a place where customer service was important. I never felt like they thought that the customers were more important than the company.

    The cost keeps going up and up without any notice or explanation. It's always been a hassle to move because you have to end your account and get a new one, although I recently moved and found out they have a transfer option, which I thought was really nice so that even though I have an account number, it just seemed to go more smoothly. I didn’t have to turn over my equipment and then go get new equipment with a new application, which was only 25 miles away. Overall, I'd say they're somewhat difficult to work with.

    Also, there doesn’t seem to be any reward for long-term customers. Nowadays, new customers get great rates, but the people who stood by them the longest don’t get the benefit on any of that. It would be nice to do something for long-term customers, too. I originally went with them because there weren't many options. At first, I did not want this because the reception is poor when there is bad weather or when it is windy. In Iowa, to get those two things pretty frequently. They also keep calling me to try to sell me this package with all three, and I don’t want a landline anymore. They tell you that you could get a discounted package if you get this at least for a while, but it's probably temporary, and they're gonna raise the rates anyway. They, however, haven't pushed for the landline since I moved last December 14th.

    Nevertheless, I'm still pretty satisfied with the quality of the service. The problems that I have had have not been because of the product. Rather, they’ve been because of customer service and poor communication. If you're gonna raise rates, let people know. Secondly, if you're gonna make people wait in line for appointments, have an online reservation to make an appointment until 4:00, and so you don’t have to sit there and wait an hour to an hour and a half for whatever the issue is because you can't resolve anything over the phone.

    Further, if I need service at home, oftentimes, I don’t know if it's software or hardware. Other than calling in and finding out if there are any outages in my area, it's difficult to find out what the problem is. They may send me the tech support, when in fact that’s not what I need. I'm on the phone with tech support for an hour and a half, and they say, “Well, no. It's a line issue. You have to call Mediacom.” And then I have to call back in, get in line, and make an appointment. I have to wait two weeks. My service was down for two weeks once, and I did not get a credit on my bill. That is ridiculous. While the product is decent, the customer service stinks.

We have cable and regular TV and their service has been okay. We recently called for a serviceman and the serviceman was fine. He did fine work. After he left, Mediacom called wanting to do a survey and then they called the next day and they wanted a survey. We need a serviceman again and he hadn't even been here yet. I thought that was kind of strange. Also, I found out that I've been paying for the HD and I never got it until this last week. My husband and I moved here in 2011 and I supposedly had it all that time but I didn't and I've been charged for it. Other than that, I've been satisfied.

    Ever since we got our TV, we’ve been on Mediacom and that was several years ago. I don’t like to change when I get something I’m satisfied with. We have the whole package where we got our TV and telephone service. But I have had an experience where I’ve had a problem with Mediacom. Sometimes, my telephone would have no service. And I’ve had to call them several times about it and they have us go through and see what we should do to get it back to working. They had sent out somebody only a couple of times but it went alright and they got it fixed. We’re satisfied with them.

    Mediacom was already in the apartment when we moved in and we have Wi-Fi, television, and home phone. It was pretty much already here and all we had to do was plug things in. The service has been reasonable but some of their reps were confusing. It seemed like we were told one thing on a visit and then it was changed on a later visit. Other than that, I would recommend them.

    When I bought this house, the cable service with Mediacom was already hooked up, so I just kept along with them. They give me good service and I like them. One time, there was a tree that fell on a line and broke it. I called them up and it was easy to do. Then they came right out and fixed it.

    Mediacom could be the worst company that has ever existed. Let’s start with how horrible their actual service is, I’m paying monthly for 100mbps, since having Mediacom for a year now, I can count on 2 hands the times I have actually received those speeds. It’s almost all the time sitting at 30mbps. But Mediacom sure doesn’t miss a chance to bill me for 100mbps. On top of that their service goes out ALL THE TIME. I can’t count all the times we can’t stream, game, or just plain check FB while connected to our internet. It’s faster for me to disconnect from WiFi and use my LTE on my phone, which is utterly ridiculous.

    Now let’s talk about customer service, I have always heard Mediacom has the worst customer service and I can attest to this first hand now. I’ll just give you one account of my many run-ins, I called in to let them know my internet was out, after first them trying to make it out to be my fault, and having me run all kinds of self-tests at home they finally said, "We will send a technician, but the soonest we can get a technician to you is 3 weeks out." 3 weeks!!! I said that is unacceptable to which the rep on the phone replied, “well if you were a business account we would prioritize you sooner, sorry 3 weeks is the best we can do.” So being as furious as I was I agreed because I needed internet at some point.

    Fast forward 3 weeks, I take off work early to be in their stupid 1-5 time frame of them showing up, to 5 o’clock finally rolling around and there was still no tech. I called in inquiring where he was, mind you I never left my house the entire time frame, but they told me that he tried to stop by but no one was home. I told them that was a lie because I have been here the whole time.

    We spent several minutes going back and forth then I finally demanded I speak with a supervisor, I get the supervisor on the phone and he had the worst customer service I have ever encountered anywhere in my life, told me it was my problem not his and the soonest he could have another tech out was 2 weeks away. This is just the most recent encounter, don’t get me started on these “techs” they send to your home. Very unprofessional, most of the time they are dressed sloppy, hair looks like they just rolled out of bed, loud, inconsiderate etc etc. Avoid this company! Fiber is almost ran to our neighborhood and believe me the first chance I get to drop this company I will be. The absolute worst company there is.

    I was looking at a couple of ads that came in the mail, and Mediacom seemed to have the best deals going on at the time that I needed. I went ahead and called Mediacom and they were more than willing to come out at a certain time. I work overnight and the technician was able to come to my house at whatever little timeframe that I had, so that kind of made me pretty happy. They were kind and helpful, and wanting to know exactly what I wanted in a package. They were willing to work with me and find the best deal for me.

    I've got the silver package with the internet, cable and phone package. I get a clear picture with my cable. It hasn't gone out at all, so I'm very happy with it. The installation was quick. The technician that disconnected the previous cable just cut the line. So when my new technician came in to install everything, he just pulled up and repaired the line outside, and then came and knocked on the door. It took maybe 30 minutes for him to get everything set up, and he was out the door. Everything's great.

    I have my internet service through Mediacom and for the most part, I'm pleased. When the service was hooked up the subcontractors lied to the Mediacom people about coming here and saying they installed it because they haven't. But the gal I spoke to in Florida escalated things rather well, and about 24 hours after my complaint I had somebody out here. It did went on for about three weeks, and the subcontractors were trying to blame it on the weather, and the weather was unseasonably warm. They had no excuse not to be here. And after I waited patiently and called in, it got taken care of really quickly. I compared Mediacom to the service my parents have through the local phone company and their service is quite a bit faster. I'd recommend it.

He said he liked the price of the bill or it was cheap enough and the service seemed decent, so I went with them too and I was happy with it. There were three of us in the house and we were all using internet off our phones and streaming movies through Netflix. We had one issue with the router, but that was a simple fix. I told them what my problem was, they walked me through what I needed to do and everything went smooth and easy. They, over the phone, satellite or somehow, updated the router and then we never had any trouble after that.

    I had a bad experience when Mediacom hooked me up. I bet they weren’t even a mile away from my house when my television went off. I called them and asked if they could come back and see what was wrong. But they couldn’t’ send anybody. That was on a Tuesday and they said they couldn't have anybody out there until Friday. So I told them to forget it and I called somebody I knew and he came in and did what he needed to do.

    I like the picture, and I like that I can get the ball games on the Cyclone station. I haven’t had no problems lately except the bill. What bothers me with Mediacom is every time I get my bill, it’s different. They said I missed the last payment and if I paid this, I would get it paid up. I came back and it was the same thing again. Then I called them again and finally, they said, “If you pay this much, it’ll be where it’s supposed to be.” So I paid that much and I got another bill and it’s up more again. I’m not gonna stop calling because if they don’t straighten it up, I will just get somebody else.

    After about a dozen tech support phone calls made everyday during December, tech support could not fix the problem of my email account constantly locking me out. The process was always the same. Change the password, log in, and everything was fine. Two hours later, could not log on. Efforts to clear browsing history, cookies, on all devices (laptop and desktop) did not fix the problem. Trouble ticket to level 2 tech support was opened. They called me twice and left voice mail, to call back if still needed assistance. When calling back I don't get level 2 on the phone. I only get level 1 who says we will have to refer you and they will call within the next 24 hours.

    I have given up. In my opinion there is something wrong with Mediacombb.net servers. I dropped mediacombb.net two years ago for this problem and also because my emails weren't being delivered, telling me falsely that my IP address was on a blacklist. I followed up and learned that it wasn't my IP address that was on a blacklist. It was Mediacombb.net ISP that was blacklisted. This was the final straw for me.

    I called Mediacom customer support as I was trying to help a friend retrieve her Mediacom e-mail, which had suddenly stopped showing up in her Apple Mailbox. It was a very frustrating 30 minutes as your support person, Victor, I think freely admitted that "he knew nothing about Apple products" and when I would ask him a question, his most frequent response was "I have no idea". He never offered to pass me off to someone more knowledgeable, and threw the problem back in Apple's lap - something we determined to not be the case.

    We finally solved the problem by consulting another friend with comprehensive Apple experience. If I could give Mediacom zero stars for the "help" I would. Complete waste of time talking to your tech support. Similar to when I called them for my poor internet service and they told me I needed to buy a new cable modem and hub (cost me $265) only to have a technician on the ground determine the problem was your service cable to my house.

It also took the tech hours to set up and disrupted us from our routine as we work the overnight shifts.

    We were able to get this straightened with both your office to refund this charge and the bank will refund the overcharges when you get that 113$ back into the account... However we have not been able to pay our Landlord his complete rent as of the 10th of the month and thereby, even after knowing this all happened as a mistake, he will charge us a 60$ late fee.

Right through the NFL Playoffs and some NCAA Bowl games. Convenient. I work third shift and a tech came which I totally forgot about but he was understanding and quickly explained that this happens sometimes...unplanned and unexplained service interruptions. He was saying what he is told to say...I hold no malice towards him.

    If this happens one more time during peak hours, because Mediacom can neither manage its bandwidth or signal strength very well, I am switching to Satellite. The previous owners already tried both so Dish and DirectTV equipment are already on my roof. Just saying! Then I will use SMTA for my ISP. They cost a little more, but have fiber to the HOME...not the Node...and then a coax drop in.

My concern is my health and may be able to come back home earlier. I've been with Mediacom since 1989 in one house and 1994 in another. I've not had much trouble and if I did you were always helpful. So it's on vacation mode til end of March, but what do I do if I want to come home early. I'm a senior and tv gives me comfort, as I am alone all the time. It's like having company. Please help.

    My husband and I decided to come back to Mediacom after 2 years with Dish Network. I liked Dish, but my husband had a hard time finding anything to watch that he liked. So, to keep the peace, I made arrangements to come back to Mediacom so he would be able to watch television to his liking. I have not been disappointed. I have been able to watch all the stations I had watched on Dish except for the Game Show Network. But I do have a bit of a crab to give you regarding our installation. The main box is in the living room.

    My husband and I each have our own bedrooms at opposite ends of our mobile home. Installing my set was fine, but it took three tries of different technicians to get my husband's television so it worked right. I didn't ask for a break on the price during this 3 week problem, but don't think I didn't think about it seriously. I have resigned myself to Mediacom for right now, and appreciate how easy it was to from Dish Network and Century Link to Mediacom. Thank you.

    I mistakenly paid twice in the same day. Noticed it and called in to have them remove one, but they said they could not do that. A lot of payments allow you to remove one but you don't. Was sad about that but won't have to pay this month. But maybe you would put in a place to remove a payment in case they do something like I did.

    Good afternoon Janet,

    We sincerely apologize about the experience. If a customer makes a mistake and pays multiple times via check they can either try to cancel the transaction with their financial institution or wait 10-business days before a refund is processed. This allows time for the check to clear the customer’s bank account. Unfortunately, a refund can take approximately 2-3 weeks beyond the 10-business day waiting period to be received. I will relay the feedback to our teams and if you have any other issues please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Thanks for your time, review, and valued Mediacom business as it is greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful day!

    I had Dish for a while then they decided to take away Channel 8, one of the local channels, and I was unhappy about that, so I switched to Mediacom. But there was one problem. Mediacom went off on December 14th from 10 AM to a little passed 7 PM and when I called to report it the representative that answered told me that I was getting $13 credit for that day. But when I got my next Mediacom bill, I saw that they increased my monthly rate. I was unhappy about it.

    When I called to ask them why my bill went up this month and where is the discount I was supposed to get they said it would probably be on my next bill. When I told them that I was supposed to get a $13 discount, they told me I was only getting three bucks and something. So I felt like they were screwing me over. But that was the only thing that made me unhappy. I’m pretty happy with the channels I get.

    I recently was trying to save money on my monthly bill, so I canceled the unused television part of my plan but kept telephone and cable internet. My bill actually went UP in total... What is the deal with that? If I did not live in a rural area where the ONLY fast internet option was Mediacom, I would be shopping around for a new service provider as I type this. Also, providing a cable internet box that someone MUST use then charging extra for it is at the least a sneaky way to get extra money.

    After establishing service, it has been an absolute nightmare receiving communication from Mediacom. I paid the technician upfront, for one months internet service, and received an email acknowledging my account. Then, I tried to communicate with Mediacom - online - and Could Not. Over and over, I tried to set up an Account and at the same time, although I had not set one up, it appeared one had been, so I requested 'lost password' retrieval, and the website responded by saying an email would follow, which would provide instructions to access my online account. No emails ever arrived in that regard.

    Eventually, an email arrived letting me know I should pay my bill - online - and instructions on what to expect were included. I watched the instructional video and was dismayed to learn that not only was my account considered 'past due' and consequently had outstanding fees, But I still could not get onto my online account. Frustrated, I called Mediacom and had matters handled via that phone call. I have to say - it seems rather ridiculous, that the company I retained for internet service does such a terrible job of being reachable via the internet - hence the one star!!

    We are new to Mediacom, just recently purchased a new home. One week after installation the cable box did not work, we did not have service. I called to set up an appointment to have the box replaced and also to have 2 additional cable boxes installed for 2 new tvs. When the service person came he not only didn't have a box to replace the defective one we had, he did not know anything about installing the 2 additional boxes. He said he did not do installation just repair. When we called in to Mediacom no one knew anything about the 2 new boxes, I had to make another appointment and it couldn't be scheduled for another week. I feel like there is a lack of communication and organization in your company and because of that there is poor customer service.

    We have purchased the Mediacom services for probably ten years now. Their service is good but their costs are awful. Each year we try to determine ways we can cut our Mediacom costs but we are unable to do, unless we simply were to quit Mediacom and purchase some other service. Mediacom is constantly advertising special deals with low prices, and yet our monthly costs are still high. Suggestion: save some of that advertising funding and use it to reduce our monthly costs...especially for seniors.

    Updated review: Feb. 5, 2019

    Mediacom did reach out to me although they were not able to offer the same pricing as they did in the sale pitch. They did not say if they were able to review the recording or not but I would think they would have been able to. This may have been a 3rd party sales cold call but again Mediacom should have records of that. In the end I'm satisfied with going back to what I had previously but would have been a bot more satisfied if they would have simply said they made a marketing mistake. I'll know better on the next sales pitch.

    Original Review: Jan. 9, 2019

    If you are interested - but I fear after talking with 2 different representatives you are not... I was called and given a sales pitch to subscribe to Xtreme service for $108/month plus taxes and fees. We discussed in detail what was included in that price. In fact, although the rep said my call was being recorded, I also had to transfer to another person to verify what I was told. Both said the price was 108 plus taxes/fees. I had been paying 80 for just internet so I thought I would give Mediacom another try.

    Long story shorter, after my first bill I contacted Mediacom and the lady said she would have customer services review the recording and get back with me. Also as expected, no one got back with me. I contacted Mediacom again after about 2 weeks. That rep said I already had the lowest price I could get which was not 108/month. I asked if they could review the recording. She said I already have the lowest price I could get. I told her I then needed to cancel my service. She directed me to turn it in at the local shop. The next day I did.

    Please understand the service was good. The installer was 5 stars. I had no issues with the package. It was with the fraud of telling me one price and not standing behind it. In our community Mediacom is slipping and has lost a great deal of market share. This is the behavior that has fueled that loss. I would really like to see Mediacom succeed, but I fear that is not the track you are on.

    We had problems with our internet service going out on an intermittent basis, then finally it quit altogether. We were experiencing problems with tiling on our TV screen also. I had to call Mediacom 5 times and it was still not fixed. Each time I called I ended up on the phone for almost an hour. They sent out a technician, it worked for a few days and then quit again. My last service request resulted in a visit being scheduled several days out. I got tired of waiting for service so I fixed it myself. Turns out that Mediacom installed a bad cable between the wall outlet and the splitter. Not sure why the trained and experienced technician couldn't find the problem. In addition, once I had a service appointment scheduled, I received so many e-mails, text messages and phone calls that it became quite irritating.

    I used the chat feature and asked for Showtime to be taken off my account. The agent removed Starz instead of the Showtime causing me to lose my sale price for my Starz service. I had to call back 3 times to try and get my service fixed and was still unable to get my Starz service back at the 6.99 a month I had it. So now I have to pay full price for a service I should have had all along on a promotional price. Along with everytime I call and tried to get my service fixed they were charging me a $3 fee for the agents mistakes.

    When I told the multiple different agents I shouldn't be paying the $3 fees because it wasn't my mistakes but the agents I got told there wasn't anything they could do about it. I know that is a lie so when I remained firm they gave me credit but only on 2 of those charges. Then I called because I had no internet for 3 days. They did send a technician out but never offered to provide me with credit for the time my internet wasn't working which also cause problems with the television service since I have TiVo. I have not been happy with how my account has been handled considering the ridiculous amount I pay for my services. Not a happy customer!
