    Reliability

    Reviewed Jan. 9, 2019

    We have serious concerns about the functionality of the Mediacom network, in particular the DSL/internet service is unreliable with repeated service interrupts throughout the day. Cable is satisfactory, but we have freeze ups there as well. In general it appears Mediacom has not made the investment in the system to keep it reliable & up to date.

    I had Mediacom install internet phone and cable. I had service for 1 day. I work from home and the internet service never worked. I called and the man that answered was rude and refused to help me. I went round and round with them after paying 200 for install and first months service. I ended up cancelling service 1 week after the install and went with UVerse. I called back and asked for a refund to which I was denied the right to speak to a manager. Finally I get ahold of someone named Razel who told me I would be getting a refund of 50 something dollars. Again denied the right to speak to supervisor. I called back. Spoke to Geddah who told me I’d be getting a refund if 106.19 in 1 to 2 weeks.

    Today I get a check for 31.08. My services never worked. No internet and intermittent cable. I have called at least a dozen times in the last 3 weeks and no one will help me. I want my install and services amount refunded to me. I never got to use the services and they can see that if they look at my usage. This is the absolute worst company I have ever had to deal with and I will be spreading the word to everyone and anyone that thinks about going with Mediacom.

    It took 5 tries by 5 different technicians over a 3-4 week period to get my wifi signal to acceptable levels...the 5th tech was a supervisor and he discovered that the cable from the box on the street was degraded. After replacing the cable my signal strength was perfect and I have had no problems. However, the job is still not complete in that the cable from the street to my house is just laying on the ground and has not been buried and properly attached at the box at the house.

    Good morning Lea,

    Thank you very much for your review and valued Mediacom business as it is greatly appreciated. Upon doing research onto the account, it looks like you have a 2-room Tivo system. Is it the Tivo Mini timing out? There is an inactivity timer set on the Tivos which is set to roughly at 2-hours. I don’t know of a way to bypass this but I will relay the feedback to our teams and if I acquire any additional information I will let you know. If you do need a tech to diagnose any issues please let us know. We apologize about the issue and please reach out to us if you want us to setup a tech call for you. Have a wonderful day!

    My experience with the cable experience has been mixed. Reliability - OK. Quality - OK. Cost to value - less than average. Paying for channels we never use.

    Researching alternatives that may provide a more selective channel approach to match what we watch. And is priced per channel. Internet is good value.

    Reviewed Jan. 9, 2019

    I was in the process of selling my business which I have faithfully paid for my Mediacom services for 6 yrs. (approx. $12,000). My contract was expiring in October and I would have had to renew it for (3) years in order to maintain my current rates. Since I was selling the business I was not able to extend my previous contract for a few months during the sale and was required to pay much higher fees for Mediacom service. We were in contact with Margo ** regarding the process to transfer renewal of the contract to the new owners and we completed late December. I have not had any further response or correspondence from Mediacom since and it seems that once they got my money they washed their hands of everything. I had recommended Mediacom service to the new owners and they did sign a contract. I filled out the form which will provide any referral with a $50 credit, but never heard back from anyone regarding this.

    Where I'm living, Mediacom was the only choice I had. It's the only one that the people that own the property would accept. The sales team was good. The first person who called me couldn’t do the installation, so they had to send a different gentleman in to do it, which was okay because it had nothing to do with them. It had something to do with the wiring in this building, but they got it done. I got television, telephone, and internet through Mediacom, and the quality of all the services is good. I watch TV most of the day because I can't do much. And then, I have a home phone number, which is good for the kids to call me.

    We had DirecTV for eight years and every year they raised my bill up $40. I told them I couldn’t afford it if they keep raising my bill up. So instead of raising my bill up, they would take stuff away. By the time we were done, I was paying $190 for a basic cable and the slowest Wi-Fi there is. We would watch TV and it would freeze up. I cancelled with them and switched with Mediacom and we've been doing really well.

    Their rep came right out and they made an appointment with me and hooked it up. My daughter moved across town and I had them hooked up cable over there so she got Mediacom too. We’re both happy with it. They showed up when they were supposed to and did what they’re supposed to do. They were courteous and kind. I don’t remember having an issue with them. The service works good. It never shuts off and doesn’t do some of the crazy stuff when you have bad weather. So far, so good. I have recommended it.

    The people from Mediacom that I’ve interacted with were good. I just moved about a month ago but prior to that, I had CenturyLink for 15 years. But they don’t service the area where I moved. The service that I got through Mediacom is through my job. They set up internet service for my home. I haven’t really used it a whole lot because it’s hardwired and I use a Jetpack for wireless a lot.

    A door-to-door salesperson came to our door offering a "Switch & Save" program if we left CenturyLink. We invited Andrey in and listened to his spiel. We asked for very specific pricing including taxes. He wrote up a "Residential Service Order" for Mediacom Video, Internet, and Phone. Boxes were checked for what was included and the pricing for the 1st year and the 2nd year. We signed it. After receiving our first bill we called to report that we were being overcharged and the pricing was higher than written on order sheet. Kept getting transferred, nobody ever able to help us.

    Went to local office, they wouldn't let us talk to anyone. They faxed the order form to someone in a different city but we never heard back. Went back to the office again and we were told, "If you want to stop being overcharged you will have to cancel your service." I have contacted the BBB. My next step is to complain to the City then the MN Attorney Gen. since recently they have been suing other companies for similar conduct. Notice how on this site Christian and Brandy from Mediacom appear to only respond to the positive reviews. This is indicative of how they treat their customers. They don't care.

    Mediacom charged my card 4 different times. My bank paid two of them and returned 2. The second one caused an overdraft because I only keep enough money in there to pay certain bills. Mediacom owes me for the one charge the bank paid and the NSF charges. I am being told I have to wait 10 days to get the one payment back and they are not telling me anything on the NSF fees. Mediacom was negligent and they should pay for these fees they caused.

    We have had repeated problems since Dec 2017 (now going on a year plus) with our tv/internet connection in spite of several upgrades in services (which the techs had suggested). Tv will say 'no signal' several times throughout each day and we are left with a blank screen. Internet extremely slow to not functioning well enough to download or even open Google sites. Phone support always polite. Techs always polite. Always say the SAME THING. That we have a weak signal and sends someone out. Some days we have no signal. It is quite unfortunate that there is no competition in this area to force them to up their game. $150/mos for such lousy "upgraded" service. Pathetic.

    I was a Mediacom customer for 13 years. I terminated my account and turned in all equipment due to continually rising prices for cable TV. There was a dispute over a charge for early termination of service, this matter was resolved November 28, 2018 and I requested a bill which did not show the termination charge. I received a clean bill with the charge removed and mailed a check to Mediacom. Today I receive a collection notice from a collection company, 1 week after I received a clean bill from Mediacom. This company was quick to send a bill which was in dispute, to a 13 year customer to a collection company. I will never do business with any Mediacom company again and will advise anyone else to think twice about obtaining any service from Mediacom.

    HORRIBLE COMPANY - HOW DO THEY STAY IN BUSINESS?? They waited two years to bury the cable in the front of the house. Randomly came yesterday and buried it. While they were at it, they cut the line while they were burying it! I called first thing this morning as we have no Internet, no TV and 25 guests coming to watch bowl games this weekend. The best they can do? A technician coming over next Wednesday between 1-5!! COME ON. SOMEONE HELP ME!!!! We weren't the cause of the outage - your guys were!! THEY CUT OUR LINE. Talked to a supervisor (Tiffany) who told me that there was nothing she could do. PLEASE, SOMEONE MAKE A CALL TO A TECH AND PLEAD MY CASE. You did this, not me!!! Just a month ago I had to wait five days for a technician to tell me that some other Mediacom tech unhooked our line randomly at the curb box so we were out of Internet/TV for five other days.

    I've had to travel--South America, Europe, The Middle East, North Africa, and Asia-- for work. I purchase high speed Internet everywhere I live for work. It humbles and shocks me how much slower US Internet speeds are and for how much more (cost). Mediacom is the most expensive cable service I've ever had but it replicates many of the problems that frustrate consumers like high fees DESPITE infrastructure problems that cause cable to be down, sales teams making promises the company can't keep, consumers having to troubleshoot outside wiring problems that downgrade cable performance for months but receiving no compensation once the problem is finally confirmed, and the useless technical support advice (the unplug-replug dance) that rarely ever solves problems yet which remains the standard advice during a loss of service.

    Even in China, analogous service was far more dependable and cost far less. All this at a time when the FCC has defied the US people's wishes entices more and more of us to finally seriously consider cutting the cords at home.

    Good morning Teresa,

    We sincerely apologize about your experience. If you’re experiencing signal disruption we can always schedule for a tech to come out to your residence to diagnose and make any repairs as needed. Also, pricing varies due to taxes, fees, and surcharges for an area. Pricing works as follows. A customer will normally be in a promotion for one to two years. Each annual year, there is a price increase until a bundle/package/service reaches full price rate. When that does occur a customer can re-bundle, downgrade services, modify their package, or opt-into a contract offer to lower the price again. We always try to keep our rates low but due to increases in programming costs, maintenance costs, and other expenses it is difficult to do so. We hope this information help and if you have any further issues please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Thanks for your review and valued Mediacom business, have a good day!

    We have used MediaCom in the past which is why we decided to try them again after using HD antenna OTA for a few years. MediaCom is like all other cable companies (owned by Comcast I believe) in how it works. The more you pay the bigger the difference in what you get. Internet speed (we have 100Mbs) which is good providing not more than 3-4 devices connected then it slows noticeably. Channel selection is also pay more get more. We have a Family Pkg. which has good channels, however, some of which you'd think fit that, are not included not even "Cartoon Network"... really? Service reliability is good for the most part although we've had issues with a couple channels freezing (Starz Encore). The Tech said it's a filter problem... OK whatever. Customer service is great.

    Cable has always been seriously overpriced for what the customer receives. Gazillion channels with perhaps a handful worth watching; prices rise significantly with every renewal. The cable connector is still the old knurled sleeve style, mega-challenging for aged or infirm fingers to remove and re-attach under the coaching of a tech by phone. It can take months to have a cable buried, and the contractors often damage the lines of other customers in the process. Un-bundling to drop a service can actually cost more than leaving the services together-- ridiculous on the face of it. The list of added fees/charges can be pretty lengthy. KISS!

    We sincerely apologize about your experience. We try to keep service rates as low as possible but due to increases in maintenance costs, operating costs, and with video programmers increasing their rates it is difficult to do so. As far as video content, you do have access to video-on-demand services which also offers a section of free titles to watch at no costs to you. Also, our cable buries depend on the area. Factors such as permits, licenses, and weather can play a role but we try to get them done as quickly as possible. We have actions in place so if we need to escalate things we always can.

She was recently sent a bill for the months of December-January. The problem is she is still without cable, yet being charged for a service she has not had since the storm. At one point in conversation she was told if she was to discontinue Mediacom service (go with another provider, ie, DISH Network), she would never be hooked to the service again if she decided to restore at a later date.

    So, Mediacom in Panama City Florida seems to think it is okay to threaten a 72 year old woman, and if she doesn't pay she will be turned over to a collection agency. This is how you treat your loyal long term consumers; those affected by a storm that for all general purpose wiped an entire town. At this point, she along with many others do not have a job to go back to or a house to live in. Mediacom, do the right thing for your loyal customers. They still have not given her a restoration date... Instead a bill for no service.

    As a survivor of Hurricane Michael, Mediacom continues to bill its customers who are without service. When contacting customer service we're told "we will keep billing until service is restored then will credit your account for the number of days without service." With that being said, you can find no time line estimate. The website keeps posting the same thing over and over just changing the dates.

    I started with Mediacom in 78 or 79 and they were the only cable provider in town back then. Thus far, I've had no problems with them. Several times I've had them come out and work on the drop. The last time, the tornado tore my service out entirely and they came by to put it back up. However, they didn't put it where I wanted and neither did they bother to ask me. So, I got them to come back and I was told that they was gonna have to move the drop. That time, their guy said that it wasn't properly installed anyway and that they were supposed to follow the power lines. Their guys followed the power lines and did a nice job of putting it in. However, the drop had to be moved because I was having a new garage built. So, they got it out of the way so it wouldn't interfere with the roof of the garage. Overall, Mediacom gives good service. I'd recommend them.

    The two guys who came for the installation were wonderful. I asked questions and they answered them. They also told me that if we weren’t happy with the service, we could cancel at that time after the trial period. And the service was not good. We tried Mediacom's bundle and the internet. It has my husband’s news and sports deal. As for me, I just needed the internet. We also have a child in school and she needed internet for school. But the signal wasn’t strong enough. We’re too far away from the tower or satellite and the internet was very slow. Our child couldn’t download movies. Everything got buffered. I also do videos all the time for work and we couldn’t do anything.

    There is also an apartment that I rented for a person who works for me. There was a cable there and the cable guy lived right across the street so that helped in our decision to use Mediacom. Then we had something special in terms of the billing. They called me to let me know the bill. It was 120 bucks a month though and I felt it was very high. But the cable is all good for him. The person who works for me likes it.

    I got quotes from the only other local competitor, but it boiled down to price and how quickly it could be instituted and installation cost. It was close, but Mediacom won. We got cable and internet and it’s a bulk account that services four apartments. The sales team was very good and responsive. I thought they handled things very professionally and efficiently. However, the installation was a little choppy. They were having a difficult time getting the people lined up and getting me in the queue although part of it was the short timeline I was working on and I didn’t give them enough lead time on the order. But the tenants seem satisfied with Mediacom and they seem happy with what they’re getting. All I could say to another landlord is, “Consider Mediacom.”

    We've had Mediacom for about 43 years. We had them for a long time, then left for couple of years and went back. However, I'm not happy with their customer service. Before, I would get service pretty darn quick. And if they couldn't fix over the phone, they were out here within 24 hours to fix the problem. But now, I would call in when the Internet and TV are out but they don't try to help fix it. Less than a month ago, I've got a cable just laying around. At the time, there was still time to bury it 'cause the ground wasn't that frozen. They said it probably wouldn't get buried till next spring which was not a good idea, because a lot of things could happen to a cable exposed in the winter. Animals could chew it or my husband could trip over it. There was also one night after I got off the phone with their rep, the issue wasn't fixed yet so I figured out how to fix it myself. I was able to cancel the upcoming appointment which was out 10 days.

    I have to have my Internet. It's a must in my life. And in this day and age, there is no reason to make people wait a week or so for service. And the price is ridiculous for what you get. They adjusted $4 from my bill, but I pay over $200 a month for nothing. Mediacom's gonna start losing a lot of customers, 'cause people aren't gonna put up with that. They'd keep hopping from one service to another. I wouldn't advise for people to use Medicaom unless they like waiting for two weeks and still pay to get something fixed.

    I live in assisted living in Ames and Mediacom provides the telephone and TV service. I had my bill to pay, and I had taken it out to the mailbox to mail it with another letter I had processed. But I thought I hadn't made it out and I couldn’t find the information I needed to make out another check so I called Mediacom, and a fellow helped me and said, “Well, you just need to put your account number on your check and send us the check,” which I did, and I mailed it the same day, an hour later than the first one.

    When I talked to the first rep, it was an 800 number, and he gave me the number here in Ames, Iowa and the information and address where to send it. So, I talked to someone, someplace else, and sent that check wherever it was supposed to go because that address was already on the information sheet that went with the check. I made out the another check and I sent it to the place in Ames, Iowa, and maybe the other one went there too. But then when I got my statement, they had cashed both checks. So then I called the first number and said, “Well, now, I’m supposed to be receiving my bill a month later. So, will you be giving me credit for that since I paid you twice in one month?” And she said, “Yes, we will.” I never heard anything yet, and I’m thinking it’ll probably be somewhere after the first of the month when they would be letting me know when it was due again. Mediacom was wonderful. Everything was just fine and taken care of.

    We were looking for dependability and something that was in the area and we found Mediacom. We got internet from them and the reps worked us through because we were having difficulty. When we click on the internet to check the mail, we have to sign in. When we do, we have to create a brand-new password, which doesn't make sense. They ask if we log in to more than one computer but we don't. They tell us to turn the thing off and then turn it back on.

    Then, when we try to send an email, it's timed out. We log in again but we can't so we get a new password every 45 minutes. When we're logged back in, that email is gone so we have to complete the whole process again and stay consistent that way. We thought each time, it gets resolved and then it's not. I wish it is working consistently but it's not and it has not been fun. It's been happening four or five times a day every day the last couple of months and that's what's been so difficult.

    Our internet was upgraded from 200 mb to 1gig internet speed on November 16th. We had some issues at first - so the man came back, changed some things around, and the internet speed was higher but it cuts off and on constantly and our internet is slower and lower quality than when we had 200mb. We have talked to the contractor working with us and he has told us many times he was coming to fix it, and he hasn’t shown up any of those times. We spent the whole day waiting at home for him not to show up each time. I called the company, CVRS, yesterday and they said his supervisor would call me back that day and no one did. I’m very disappointed in their customer service and lack of communication.

    We've had Mediacom for several years. But recently, I was trying to cut expenses a little bit and the package that I had was costing me $197 a month so I wanted to re-bundle some stuff and bring it down. Part of it was to analyze what I watch on television and I did that. My daughter did most of the talking with the Mediacom rep and I was listening in on the other extension. The rep was very polite and the interaction was very cordial and helpful. We got our service bundled down so it's at least $50 a month less which was more like I could handle.

    It's occasionally irritating when the telephone line is out of service but sometimes, I just forget to go over and pull the plug on the modem and plug it back in. There have been a few times when it's out of service for several hours but that doesn't happen very often. Also, I really like the long distance service. If I wanna talk to my sister for an hour, it's not gonna cost me anymore so I like that. I would recommend Mediacom and there's no big reason to change so as long as we could get the monthly price down some, which we did, we're good to go.

    I tried going with cable companies and they all kept denying me because of my credit. But when I found Mediacom, they were perfect and I had no problems with them. Their salespeople were pretty excellent and decent. I got their cable and internet services. The installation was great. Their guys were on time and professional.

    I like the cable quality I have. Once in a while, the cable freezes up. But sometimes when I shut the whole thing down and reboot it, it works after that. I was told that if I had any issues I should unplug the box and put it back in to reset it. I did that when one time all the channels froze and the Wi-Fi box stopped working. When I told Mediacom I was having problems, they were kind. They helped me through all the steps when I needed it. I asked them what was I supposed to do that I hadn't done in the steps and what I needed to do to fix the issue.

Everything was great with their customer service and their technicians were super helpful. They sent somebody out to do the installation the first time and it took a little bit of time because he thought he was gonna have to pull the cable and change it. The appointment was rescheduled and somebody else came out who said there was no need to pull the cable as there was one available. That was good. They figured it out.

    Original Review: Dec. 2, 2018

    We have been Mediacom cable customers for several years. We had decided that we wanted to try Mediacom security. The equipment came in the mail and the next day two technicians showed up to install it. When we heard how some of the items were going to be installed we decided not to go with Mediacom for security. One of the techs took the equipment and said he would turn it in. Several days later I started getting phone calls from Mediacom saying it was urgent and that I needed to call them back. This started in September of this year, so it's been 3 months. I get about 2 calls a week. They say that we didn't turn all of the equipment in but we gave it all to the tech and he assured us that he would turn it in. I've called several times about this issue and it is still not resolved. Up until now I've never had anything negative to say about Mediacom but this experience has been very frustrating to me.

    I've had Mediacom's services since the 1900's. I just have basic TV and I am very happy with that. I like the news and different programs like that, which is satisfying to me. And when my grandson comes over, he likes to put on a movie, and so it works for me at this time. I've had two service calls in the last two weeks, and the servicemen that called on me were very knowledgeable and polite. My only concern was the wide window that I had to sit home and wait. My son was injured in the workplace accident two years ago and he's on his 9th surgery this week, so I have to pick up my grandchild and take him to school, and pick him up. I was desperate for my TV to work and they said, "Well be home between 1:00 and 5:00." I couldn't. I had to cancel and reschedule. But they gave me a huge window to try to plan my day, getting my grandson to school and getting him home, and taking him to his appointments because he has Asperger's.

    Other than that, I'm okay with the cost of the service. Recently, our Waverly Utilities here have offered a plan which would be less money. My friend is trying to convince me to change to Waverly Utilities, and I told him that I'm very happy with Mediacom and I have no reason to change. I'm happy with what I'm getting for what I'm paying. I've been with Mediacom for so long and I'm comfortable with it.

    Mediacom has provided my family with internet service for about 5 years. Up until about 3 weeks ago, I have been satisfied with it then the company has been weird. Our area was totally devastated by Hurricane Michael. Like all the area Utility Companies (electric, water, phone, and internet) they got things working again within ten days of the storm. I was quite impressed with this response. Mediacom had things working within 3 days of electrical power being available. Granted service was intermittent but as time went on it was getting more and more stable.

    Then three weeks ago it went off completely, no signal to our house. The line was dead at the “tap”. I contacted Mediacom and they sent reps out right away. These local guys determined it was “dead at the tap”, and was something they could not fix and put in an order with some other department of Mediacom which got approved. Since then I haven’t seen anyone in our neighborhood working to fix this problem, nor can I get anyone at Mediacom to give me an expected time to fix. When I call or chat the representative empathizes with my frustration and that the technicians are working to solve my problem. Since I don’t see any worker here I have my doubts. All the people I interface with are nice and supportive, but have no information about when my service will be restored. We have been trying to upgrade our service to include TV and phone, but that didn’t happened due to the intermittent service.

    The updated box and router were in response to a USPS flyer that indicated certain channels were going digital. Okay, the technician made it on the date and time suggested. The equipment was sent ahead from the warehouse to be installed. The updated box was "Bad Order" & could not be used. It was only the 13th "Bad Order" the technician has had to deal with. So the technician got one from his van which was a different make & model. The router started to fail within three days & disconnects the WiFi connection approx. every two minutes for the last ten days. I reset it five times without success. This means the router is "Bad Order" as well. There is a rescheduled visit set for repairs or replacement on 12/03 between 8-12p.

    The call center for this order was in Sioux Falls, IA. The sales representative was very nice but the information I was given as to a two year deal for cable was incorrect. The actual box was to have TIVO and the addition of HBO and Cinemax for $150 a month under a 24-month plan. Either the customer service representative was misinformed or just giving out bad information. Yes the monthly bill went down $3 but it was not to $150.75 as promised & I'm glad I called in to make a monthly payment & got the right amount of $153. There wasn't a computer record indicating the exact changes when the technician checked while installing the new equipment.

    I could not hardly argue with a representative other than the one I had when originally calling in for service. I assume the entire conversation and changes were recorded to acknowledge what was actually promised & my anticipation of getting good service was in fact disappointing. My conclusion is making changes at this time with Mediacom may not be what you actually receive. The sales pitch may be just nothing more than reading off a cue card. The customer service representative spoke excellent English and acted like she really had it all together. I don't know if this will make a difference or not.

    We are victims of Hurricane Michael here in Port St. Joe, Florida. Of every utility service, Mediacom is by far the worst. Mediacom trucks and techs are as plentiful as unicorns here and when you call in the estimate is always by the end of the following month. First it was October 29th, then it was Nov. 21, and now it's sometime in January. My next door neighbors had their service restored about 10 days ago. Mine was completely ignored because the techs apparently felt climbing the pole to simply plug my line back in was too time consuming?!?!

    Yes, I literally only need the line plugged back into the fitting where it was pulled away during the storm. Even the connector is still in good shape. Mediacom has made this already painful experience even worse by their "get to it when we feel like it" attitude which has made trying to recover from this experience exponentially more difficult. I so wish Charter or AT&T would drive this company out of the market. They are simply terrible.

There are two different cable companies around here and my son has the other one. With them, the screen is all checkerboardy sometimes, they’re slow to almost nothing, and reception is crappy. They came to my door and I told them no. I was not talking to them and I just stayed with Mediacom. They’re stable and they’re reliable.

    One time, I had Mediacom's reps come out. I bought a TV and instead of messing with the setup, I paid them a fee and they set it up. They were very helpful and very good. They also said I needed new cable as my cable was not up to par. I told them to fix that within two weeks after they set it up and they were here. But sometimes you have to schedule your service to be when they’re in your area and it would be better if they could come on the next day or in two days after you called.

Don't bother to call in, they will not help you. You can reboot the whole thing yourself. They tell you Mediacom will contact you to upgrade the splicing of cables to numerous apartments, but they never do. Move on to the 3rd year of service and a $30 increase, thanking me for my loyalty to Mediacom. Really? $30 increase is thanking me?

    I called, spoke with a "supervisor" by the name of Regina. She read her materials verbatim and was "sorry that I feel that way" about a hefty price increase. Best offer is a 2 year contract with increase the 2nd year. All included is higher than currently paying and this "supervisor" had no sincere empathy or appreciation and would not offer anything else to keep my loyalty. The only game for cable in my area. Only option is moving over to Hulu or Netflix. Satellite doesn't work because I live in a wooded area.

    Am I happy to be a "loyal" Mediacom customer? Not in the least. I always thought Comcast lacked in customer service, but this one takes the cake. I truly hope they recorded this conversation. I'm not a loyal customer. I'm a customer being held up for more money to Mediacom and less appreciation and service for loyalty. If you have an option, go with something else! I'm not sure why we are locked in to this cable company and hope to challenge it with the city.

    When something is messed up on TV, I would call Mediacom and they would explain it to me, and they try to get it fixed. Their reps are nice people. When I pay my bill, they say "Good morning" to me. The only thing that I dislike is that the displays that they place on the bottom of the TV are too small. I'm old and I can hardly read them.

    I don't like Mediacom's new service where you can tape programs. I also don't like that they have too much sports and informatic TV. I’m a person that likes documentaries and it just doesn’t pivot to me. Other than that, it’s fine. My wife has it on her TV and she seems to like it, but I don’t.

One of your techs Richard, I do know his last name corrected some of the problems and put in a work order for others. A contractor installed a new box and caused other problems. Richard returned and corrected some of these. On October 18th a contractor installed a new underground cable, he did a great job, a coil of cable wire is still hanging on the pole waiting for you to finish the connection. At present one of your boxes is not working on our primary TV. Our present cable billings are $2,400 per year. We are very disappointed with the inability of Mediacom to provide satisfactory service.

    I've been with Mediacom for 23 years and right now, I'm paying $81. The price went up really high. It's way, way, way too much for me. Mediacom should have a little extra range for elderlies and veterans who live by themselves, and also for people who've been with them for a long time, especially the elderlies. My bill has been going up and up and up. I have the family program and it has way too many sports shows in it.

    Mediacom did a lot of adjustments and they had to fix things when we had some outages back then. They also had to come out here when they accidentally cut my service off, and they had to put my cable back. I love Mediacom, but if their price goes up again, I have to look around. $81 is my limit because there are other offers out there which are a little cheaper. I only have the basics and I don't even have movie stations in there. I can get the family program for half the price, and AT&T is offering it.

    I don’t post much but I feel I needed to speak out about MEDIACOM. Last week we requested a service call, the 6th one mind you, to get our intermittent cable service fixed so it is reliable. 800 number, language barrier, need to call different number, longer than usual wait time, type in callback number. 2 hours get callback. "We can come on Tuesday 8-12." Give them Judy’s number. Later on I get a text to confirm appointment. I say yes. Even later get a call saying Monday 8-12. Give them my number this time because I will be in town. Repeat text confirmation. Monday comes, no phone call to either phone, Judy gets a VM drop (this is where they leave a VM without the phone actually ringing) that says the technician was there and nobody was home.

    Now get this, I’m sitting in a very non-soundproof camper at a location that has a gravel driveway. There is no way someone came to this property without me knowing it. Judy’s VM is in half-English and callback phone number recited is indecipherable. Google, find different 800 number, language barrier, need to call different number again, longer than usual wait time, type in callback number. 4:48 pm get call back. Too late for service today. Rescheduled for next Saturday. I feel telling the story has more impact than just simply saying “WORST SERVICE IN THE HISTORY OF SERVICE”.

    Step 1: Fire ponytail service guy that “doesn’t know anything about CCTV”. (Actual quote from previous technician) Wake up! This is not a new thing! Home automation is not going away and YOUR network is integral in its success. Step 2: Stop outsourcing your customer service to other countries! It is frustrating not being able to communicate effectively when you are already pissed off. Step 3: Do not use VM drop to cowardly lie about a customer not being home. This is not a convenient way to communicate with your customer base, it is intended for telemarketing not customer service. Please reply if you have had a similar experience with this company.

    Our previous provider kept going up on the bill and taking out channels. I was paying about $125 as they dropped some of the stations, and then they went up a little more. It didn't make any sense. I decided to call Mediacom, and got the internet for my Netflix and Hulu. I also got WiFi because I don't have all of those cords running directly through the TV. I used to have Mediacom a long time ago. I cut it off back then because they said I went over the data but I was doing the same thing and I only use the data on the TV when I'm listening to iHeartRadio. So I had an old bill with them, and they let me get hook up, but I paid so much extra a month until I paid the whole bill off. Once I paid it off, my bill dropped back down to the regular price.

    My husband and I moved to Minnesota recently and have had cable, phone and internet 'service' through Mediacom for almost 2 years. I put quotes around the word service, because during this time, we have had nothing but problems with all three of the services we have been paying Mediacom to provide. We lose our internet and phone connection regularly (often every day, sometimes more than once per day), and our cable is regularly barely functional, and nonfunctional at least once or twice a month, sometimes more. Every time we experience these difficulties, we spend hours on the phone dealing with Mediacom's tech support. Sometimes we're so exhausted from trying to deal with Mediacom's tech support that we don't call and instead just wait and hope our service returns, which it occasionally does.

    We have had Mediacom's technicians come to the house over and over again. Usually we have to wait a week or two before they can get to us, despite the fact that our endless service disruptions are all on record, and any ethical business would have sent a specialist to remedy what was going on long ago. Meanwhile, Mediacom's technicians have never solved the issue. They've spent hours in our house - once they spent 8 hours in one day tearing our house apart, only to once again fail to solve the issue. We've been told our signal is 'weak' because we are at the end of the street. (Why this should be a problem, I do not know.) We are then told that a maintenance technician will have to deal with the signal problem at the 'tap', and that we are not entitled to have any contact with the maintenance technician, and that no one will follow up with us about what, if anything, was done to solve the problem.

    Invariably, of course, the problem does not get solved. We've also been told that one of our neighbors has 'noise' coming off of his line, and that the noise could be disrupting our signal. No one has fixed that, either. In fact, I myself spoke with my neighbor yesterday and discovered that no one from Mediacom has ever contacted them regarding the supposed noise issue. We've occasionally been told that we're having service interruptions due to 'normal maintenance,' and that this maintenance will likely solve our problem. Spoiler alert: It never does.

    The reality is, we've been told that the problem is being fixed literally dozens of times, yet it persists - now going on almost 2 years. Our internet and phone are unreliable. Our cable often looks digitized and is difficult or impossible to watch. The sound is regularly disrupted to the point of being unintelligible. Sometimes we can only get a handful of channels to come in. Sometimes we can't get our paid channels to come in. Our DVR recordings are regularly unwatchable due to the weak signal that Mediacom refuses to fix. The programming guide regularly doesn't match the programming that is actually played, causing us to record the wrong programs. All this, and yet we have had our rates raised twice by Mediacom during this time to almost $200 per month.

    To say that this company's service is outrageous is an understatement. Yesterday, another technician arrived at our house, supposedly to install a new modem. Spoiler alert: He did not install a new modem. Instead he told us that our signal was weak and that there was noise coming off of our neighbor's line, nd that a maintenance team would have to be contacted, and that we are not allowed to talk to the maintenance team. Ever.

    He also told us that technicians are unable to keep detailed notes about customers' problems in Mediacom's computer system, because their system has character limits which cut them off after a few words, thus guaranteeing that every time a new technician shows up for the same problem, he essentially has to start over completely. (For example, the technician told us that our service notes simply say, "Intermittent Service." That's all the notes say - after 2 years of issues. Kafka himself could not have conjured up a more ludicrous and dysfunctional bureaucracy.)

    My conclusions? Mediacom has certain signal issues that they adamantly refuse to spend the money to fix, while shamelessly continuing to raise prices on their customers, whether they're getting decent service or not. My advice to anyone who is experiencing similar issues with them? File a claim with the FCC, then switch to Hulu Live or DirecTV Now. Because Mediacom will send you on an endless wild goose chase, rather than do what's fair and ethical toward resolving their persistent service problems.

    They like to leave out what's not included in your package after you tell them everything you want and all the extra fees for getting additional. We told the agent on our first call that we don't watch live TV all recorded and might want a second box but not sure. Started with one. "Well you have TIVO and just call us when you want another box!" "You'll find out when the cable guy comes." "Oh, you don't have the recording box for TiVo." "Who knew TiVo did anything BUT record?" Then, call back for what you asked for and wait another couple weeks. They flipped the switch to our DVR 3 days early, our TV reset on its own and wouldn't let us watch without the DVR box that still hadn't arrived.

    THEN, they accuse you of screwing with your setups when things don't work! "You shouldn't try to go into that setting, you don't have that." Guess what? I didn't, I can't. The system doesn't let me. Then, they'll start sticking you with upgrade fees for every time they come to fix the things they left out of doing. So, you'll have to call ten times for things they screw up, have to wait all day for techs to come several times over, not have you what you want for several months, and get charged numerous "upgrade fees" you were never made aware of until they were stuck to you. What happens when you bring it up? "I apologize, I apologize, are you still there? Did we disconnect?" "Yes, I'm still here but nice try." W-O-W!

    A Mediacom contractor responded to that call, and he was the first person who seemed to care. He opened my cable box on the side of the house and determined the new coax I ran was put in the box, but not connected to the splitter.

    To a supervisor that can address a billing complaint; I called the 855-633-4226 number October 12, 2018. This is my issue: We moved to the rural area of Williamsburg in July. When we moved Mediacom was no longer an option since we are considered rural. All the years we had their service we never had auto withdrawal from our bank account. Yesterday we received an overdraft notice. I called the bank today and they said it was from Mediacom. They tried to take out $99.19 the 4th and 10th with two overdraft fees. I disputed the charges then called Mediacom.

    Our account was under our son’s name as he lived with us when we originally got the service. When he moved the two accounts were under his name with two addresses. Our bank confirmed we never had auto pay set up and this was also agreed upon by Mediacom. They kept saying the payment was either done online or on their automated phone system. Our son got on the line and told them he has no access to our account info, which he doesn’t, so he asked them for proof which they had none to provide. I told them again I never authorized the withdrawal and demanded a refund of all fees. The man kept his scripted speech of the withdrawal had to be done by someone.

    I said I didn’t authorize it and demanded the refund, he said he can’t authorize that. I said I will press charges and let the Better Business know too. They stole our money. I know working in customer service there would be proof if I made payment. My husband said they kept on their scripted speech hoping I would get frustrated and give up. I AM frustrated but this just gives me more reason to pursue it. A month after we moved we got a bill and they shut off our son’s service yet his bill was current and said ours was still on, in a place no one lived at and we had returned their equipment. Many people say they are a bad company and we agree. No agreement was ever set up, no authorization was given.

    I told the man on the phone and then the supervisor this was stealing from me. He said he could not process a refund. I am demanding a refund of $234.38. This is for the two $99.19 payments they attempted from our account and the two $36.00 overdraft fees. I have sent a letter to the Better Business Bureau my email today. The account we had at the time was ** and again we moved in July so have not had internet with you since. This is theft and the next step if not resolved will be criminal charges against you.

    I called Mediacom to tell them that my TV control had broken and I could not make it work again even after changing the batteries. No questions asked and she told me they would send me a new one and within two days. And, by golly, within two days the USPS had it at my door. And it work so very well and is so responsive. Luckily the control from my other TV could be used for either TV so I was not without TV.

    After I moved here, I told Mediacom to get off my life because I was with DirecTV then. But I wasn’t cool with DirecTV, so I had to go with what they had here. In this village where I'm staying, they don’t have anything but Mediacom and Dish. They don't deal with the rest of the companies. I decided to go with Mediacom and the installation went pretty well. So far, their service has been great. I have cable with them and they don’t give me any hard times or hassle in paying my bills. I’d recommend them.

    I already have Mediacom's internet so I decided to use them for cable as well. I’ve had good experience with the customer service team. I was out of internet for about a week and a half because of a hurricane and right at that time, I had decided to get the TV services too. The installation was rescheduled about 3 times. The first time the technician called was the day the hurricane came through. I had to reschedule twice more because of just power outage still. My cable box was installed but he couldn’t make sure anything was working until we have power. There was something going on technically with all the lines down near me. Once power was restored, he came out and got it taken care of quickly.

    I also talked to a woman in Missouri by the name of Debra who got me resolved. She did it quickly too so I was well pleased. The internet is now working better than it’s ever worked. I upgraded for high speed and everything is working fine. I haven’t had any problems since service has been restored after the storm. I’m very satisfied with Mediacom.

    I have NEVER had service this bad before! We've been customers since September 25, 2018, however, we've been without internet/phone more than we've had working service. We've had 3 service calls and the internet goes out before they are a mile from our house. Calling for help is a joke, they do NOT care how long you go without service. The first time I complained they said someone would be out to fix the problem in 2 weeks. 2 weeks, really?? I go to school online, and I'm paying for this crapping non-service, I cannot wait 2 weeks for them to come 'fix' the issue. Each tech that comes out says the same thing, "The problem is in the mainline", not my house. They say they will turn the call into maintenance and then they 'have' to fix it.

    My neighbors have all switched to either DirecTV or Dish TV, now I know why! There are no other cable companies in my area, maybe that is why customer service is so BAD, there is no competition, so why please the customer? Also, when we signed up as new customers, there was a special that included a $200 Visa gift card. Now they tell me, "Oh that wasn't going on when we signed up"! Really?? I just made it up?? How about they don't keep their promises on their so called new customer deals??!!

    I'm so done with these people! I've been dealing with them since 7:30 AM this morning, it is now 2:25 PM. Just got off the phone with 'customer service' who said she would call me back after she researched whether or not they will honor their agreement for the gift card. I told her to put it in my call review that if we don't get the gift card we will be switching services to anyone other than them! They don't honor anything they tell you. Watch out for these people, they don't even return calls and they conveniently get disconnected with you when they are telling you how they will take care of 'the problems'. This company is a JOKE!

    We have a pretty affordable rate with Mediacom for our internet. We have a one good competitor in town that is a local, but we like the speed of Mediacom, and the amount of data that we get is good. Sometimes when we stream online, it will have to load. We’ve also had some experiences where they’ll be working on the systems at night where we have small amounts of time where we don’t have access to the service. But it’s not a lot to complain about.

    When we get somebody to come out to the house, it’s a little bit difficult because they don’t always show up when they’re supposed to and then we kind of have to take time out of our schedule. That’s a little bit frustrating. But besides that, their customer service on the phone is always really helpful and takes care of our problems pretty well.

    I have never received the speed of service promised when I switched from AT&T to Mediacom internet at twice the price. They rely upon their customer’s complaints to determine outages. They do not apply credits nor recognize and outage unless the customer complains. I am in an area where Mediacom monopolizes the cable service. AT&T is the only alternative. Both are equally as bad, but Mediacom charges twice the price for slow service. If you have a cable provider choice, I strongly suggest you choose anyone other than Mediacom.

    I've used Mediacom since November of ‘96. I got the cable and the internet. I'm not confident with DISH's internet so I continued with Mediacom. It's been all right with their sales and customer service, but you would figure every now and then, somebody who has been there double decade could get a little more consideration like better rate or get something different every now and then, and that’s for free. But there are no incentives. The service is all right. It takes forever, like a week and a half to get the tech come here though like the last time where I had a problem with the internet and it took them forever. And then the techs thought it was still gonna be another week. Then all of a sudden, once you talk to somebody in customer service, and then they wanted to scramble and get things done. That was a step above customer service. The installation of the product seems to be okay on the speed as well.

    I had Mediacom years ago and I switched to Dish for some reason. But I got unhappy with Dish because when it would rain or snow, I’d lose service. Also, my satellite was getting really old and I was going to pay to replace it. My parents and my son both had Mediacom and they’re very happy with them so I decided to switch. I signed up for both internet and phone and David, their sales rep, was okay. But he had some kind of trouble getting me hooked up. My wires are kinda old and he had to call in some young man who really knew his stuff. I was very impressed with that young man. In the end, they got me going and I was very pleased. Initially, I needed some help on how to use the equipment. I had never looked to the remote control so they showed me what to do and were very helpful.

    Mediacom's service has been very good. I also like the remote control and I’m very happy with it. I like CNN and it’s on channel 837, then I can start at another lower number. I almost had to learn to. I’ve learned the HD channels as well and it takes the thing I’ve done with Dish for 10 years. I’m old and don’t like changes but I learned it fine. But one time, my bill jumped at least $40, so I called Mediacom. They explained right away that when I first signed up, Encore and Starz were free, and they were very helpful. So, I dropped that because I wasn’t watching them anyway and my bill went back to around 111 which was what I wanted to pay. Other than that, I’ve been very happy and very satisfied with Mediacom. In fact, my son was over here showing me about Netflix and I’m so glad that I switched.

    We scheduled new service with Mediacom on October 10, 2018. At that time we were told that the first available install date was Oct 23rd, we were also told that if something came open sooner than the 23rd we would be contacted. We were scheduled to close on our house on the 15th and since I work for a call center and am required to have a land line and used wired internet service we went ahead. We made the need for the land line and wired service very clear with the agent taking our service request.

    Later we received email notifications that our equipment for install was shipped and confirming our install date and time for Oct 23 between 8am & 12 pm. We then got a notification that the equipment was delivered so we thought everything was moving along ok. Until it wasn't... On the day of install, Oct 23rd at 11:30 a.m. we still hadn't heard anything from the installer. We called Mediacom for an update and were told that the installer had a vehicle issue and they were getting reassigned or getting another vehicle and were delayed by an hour or 2 but would still be there and guaranteed our service would be up and working by 6 pm. We advised the agent of our urgent need for service due to my work requirements and were assured the issue would be resolved by 6 p.m. I requested a manager to call back to discuss this delay, as Mediacom never even bothered to call us to tell us of this delay.

    We never got a call back. Come 3:30 we hadn't heard anything and called Mediacom back, was put on hold and disconnected 3 different times, then spoke to an alleged supervisor who was going to check on our technicians and their arrival time, but never got a call back. In the meantime, received an email that we were rescheduled until Oct 27th, still no call back and very unacceptable as my job depends on their service.

    Called Mediacom again and spoke to an agent who tried to help as good as he could, as he was allowed in his position. And then he came back on the line to deliver the bad news, that Mediacom doesn't even service our address... How can this be that after 2 weeks, equipment sent, confirmation emails sent, etc that they don't even service the address...

    When I moved back from Tennessee, I signed up with Mediacom because I didn’t know what else to do. I had to rent a house and I got them put the cable service in there. Then when I bought this house, I called them and had them put it in here. But I got to make some different arrangements because it was getting hard to pay the bills. I called and talked with some of their people but they said they couldn’t do anything about it. I told them I was at the lowest I could get and I’m paying $170-something a month.

    Other than that, I’ve got no problem with their service, except when they come out to your house. If they don’t finish the job, they go back to the office and close your account out. Then you got to call and get another appointment. I got mad and hot as heck when that happened to me. I told the boy to come out here and he told me that he was gonna go up in the office, see if they got a part, then try to get back. But I sat around for over a week and nothing ever happened. I called Mediacom and they said that the tech closed that order out. And here I was sitting at home without a TV. Then I had to call somebody and he came back out here. He said that his boss made him close the order out and wouldn’t let him come back.

    Another thing is, when you call down and want a tech support, that machine tries to do everything. The other day, I called down there and their rep said she'd run some tests to my system. It fixed one of the TVs but it messed up my other two TVs. I had to go all the way around the neighborhood and call here and there. Finally got hold of tech support and he helped me get it fixed out.

    Had Mediacom internet for my business for the past 2-years during which time we had a few somewhat understandable issues with occasional outage and slower speeds during peak-flow. Because of this, we had to upgrade our speed in order to keep our internet phones working OK during peak hours. Frustrating but whatever. The major problems began once our contract ended. First, we received no notification that our contract was ending. Second, we learned it had ended when our bill jumped 300%! When I called to inquire about the price increase I asked what a new contract would look like and was told it would still be more than DOUBLE what I was paying previously.

    At this point, very ticked-off, I told them I'd like to cancel my out of contract account and was then told that there is a minimum 30-day notice that must be given before canceling (even though its out of contract?) and that I have to still pay for an additional month of the new (very expensive) rate. The whole process left me feeling taken advantage of. In my opinion, their contracts and rate hikes seem unethical and predatory.

    I've had Mediacom Internet Service for over 2 years now. I pay for the 200 Mbps service but rarely experience speeds over 60 Mbps. I've called them over a dozen times to report these slow speeds. Every time I call, they send a Technician out to my home to see what the problem is. When the Tech arrives, our Internet Speeds MIRACULOUSLY increase to 200 Mbps. I'm sick and tired of going through this cycle with them.

    Mediacom is obviously a SCAM. They promise high speeds but then deliver less than half the speed you are paying for. I am planning on reporting them to the Attorney General of Indiana because I am so sick and tired to the runaround that I receive from Mediacom. There are no other options for Internet Service where I live and Mediacom is certainly aware that they have no competition.

They sent another man out, who I guess was the one who follows up. The young man took his patience with it and he got it going just fine. He also explained a few more things.

    The service is very good and I like the way it comes in. But I don’t watch TV now as much as I normally would. It used to be all the time because I could do what I wanted to do around and still pick up the story that I was listening to. I can enjoy it like you would a radio and glance over and see certain things. But for the ball games, I don’t leave my chair. Now, I’m good if I have my TV on three hours a day. I didn’t like that they changed the colors.

    When we were going through to find the ball games, they used to come up in green and I could read that lots better. So I knew I was getting my games. But this is all blue now and it’s very hard for an older person to see, maybe even for younger people if they have poor eyesight. I was born with crossed eyes and I’ve always worn glasses. It’s really wrong. You gotta go down or up to see what’s in between there. I was so upset. They could have come and taken my TV out. But since there was nobody else moaning and groaning, I thought I would keep my mouth shut too and accept it.

    There was also one time that I called about the bill. I got a notice that I was late and then the representative wanted me to pay both bills. She said that my autopay didn’t go through. Somehow there was a cross-up. I checked that out then I went ahead and approved another one, then I reset it to start again. I told her I would pay the one that was past due. It was only a few days past due. But I told her I would not pay you the one that was coming up. I was going to pay it when it came in. They were polite but I am dissatisfied.

    We were close to Mediacom so we went with them. We've had them for about a couple of years, but I've used them before, too. We have TV and phone services from them and I hate that Doppler weather thing that comes on. When there’s a storm coming, they want to interrupt your programs half a day every 15 or 20 minutes. I could be watching a program and as soon as I get to the good part, when a storm is coming, the Doppler weather report comes on and interrupts my station. And they stay on and they say the same thing over and over.

    Never ever buy from this company. I have a full audio of how slick they are. They told me one set price for home internet phone and cable. I ask the same questions over and over before I paid for anything or before anyone came out to my house. I was told my bill will be 126.37 a month. When I got my bill it was 238.37. Keep in mind I only been with them for 1 month. Well it's not a full month 'cause the 18 not here yet. I got service on the 19. I called them to ask why was my bill so high and what happen to the 122 I put down for the 1st month bill. I was told, "Your bill is 84 past due and a late fee that was for the 11," 'cause I did not pay it plus they billed me for next month which is due Oct. 22 2018 for the month of Nov. That's why my bill is 238.37. They lied about how much I will be paying a month.

    They took my 122 'cause it did not go towards my 1st month bill and on top of that we just had a hurricane and look like they will know this type of stuff and know we was out of power but do you think they care? No. My internet is still messing. Their supervisor trying to talk rude to me yelling in my ear. Can't even answer my question of why my bill high and what happen to the 122 for 1st month bill. I have the full audio from Sep. 19 and today I recommend not rent from them. If you do rent from them be careful and listening to what they are saying and ask 1000 times if you have to. Also don't let them give you what they want you to have 'cause all they doing is telling you what you want to hear so you can go with their service.

    Also the guy I spoke to told me not to leave bad feedback and that he will give me $50 off my bill. I don't care anything about that. People need to know what's going on it. Rather help someone who's 1st time like me than to let them be played and whipped out their money. I will be posting audio on YouTube. These people are really scamming us and we don't know it. Keep in mind my bill should not be 238.37 for those 3 things if they have a package did. They probably going to delete this review.

    I started out with a Cable/Internet bundle 10 years ago. I couldn't afford both so I asked for a better discount 5 years ago, their customer service said "We don't do that". I said, "Ok, cancel my cable then I guess". I was paying about $150 for both, internet only would bring me down to $75. So I bring my cable box back to the Brookings SD Mediacom store, and the lady asks for the HD wire. I say "What HD wire?" She says "The one for your HD service." I didn't have a HD television at the time, this was the point - I found out they had been charging me for HD this entire time. THIS IS WHERE I GET MAD.

    A week later, Mediacom calls me and asks if I would like Cable for $10/month, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I just asked that question a week earlier, they said they wouldn't do that. And $10/month, that's way less than I would've expected if they had worked with me. But they didn't, and it left a sour taste in my mouth. I said no to the $10/month Cable, out of spite.

    Fast forward to Sept 2018. I'm charged a $8 late fee, I know this is bogus, I do all my monthly billing on the same day, and my other bills are due before this one, so I believe they just tried squeezing some extra money out of me. I called them up, once I got past the first person, I assume she's a manager, she took the late-fee off. Glad they took the fee off, but the sour taste is getting stronger.

    Oct 2018, my bill is $5 higher. Now I'm fuming. I call Mediacom Customer Services and they say, "All companies raise their rates", I say "Well isn't that a coincidence, more nickel & diming, you tried doing it to me last month too". They didn't take the extra $5 off my bill. Too bad, you could've saved a customer for $5.

    So I did some digging, my town (Volga, SD) has a new Internet & Cable company being built right on Main St as I type, they'll be up and running in a few months. (Valley Fibercom I believe they're called, Google it if you don't believe me), I realized I don't have to stay with Mediacom any longer, we finally have another option coming soon.

    The following day, a man from Mediacom Promotions calls me. He asks, "How many people in your home use internet?", I cut him off there, I'm not cool with strangers asking about my family, and I was busy, so I ask him to skip to the end, tell me what this is about. He says he can't. I say, "I pay you $80/month to your company, and you can't answer my question?" I probably swore at him, told him to never call here again.

    The next day I called to cancel my service of 10 years, hoping they'd realize their actions lost them a customer, I was looking for an apology & them to show me they wanted to keep my business by taking the $5 back off my bill, all I got was: "We don't even carry your plan anymore" and "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" in a rude voice. Nothing was done to keep me from leaving. I'm no saint, I'm sure I left out plenty of parts where I swore at them, how I'm wired. I've thought about calling one more time, give them one more chance, but I just can't get that sour taste out of my mouth. All this overcharging me an extra $5. I refuse to pay an extra $5, what don't you understand about that? They would have to give me the deal of the century for me to stay, one of those plans they don't show on their website.

    At the time that we signed up, Mediacom was the best and the price was right. But it’s getting ridiculous how high our bill is getting. That's the only thing that's bad. The quality is okay but it’s getting worse at times. I have the Stars, the HBO pack and their regular cable, and the channels are blurry. They all have to come out three times a year about it. They bought me an old one and they needed to come and switch one. Then they told me they were gonna send me one thing but when they came to the house, they sent another thing. The representatives are okay though. Their professionalism is good.

So, I called Mediacom back and they fixed me up and the installation went absolutely fine. But we had a storm and I couldn’t get my volume up or down and switch my TV on and off. It's stuck on overtime. But the thing is the remote would switch channels with no problem. I have tried to get the screw out to change the batteries on the remote but I couldn’t get it to budge.

    Recently Mediacom service technicians had to come out 5 times to finally fix our TV and phone service. The technicians were pleasant, but the equipment is out of date. The second time I called, the person on the phone from Springfield, MO said she would not sugarcoat the fact that our cable box was so out of date that it was not made anymore. She ordered that it be replaced. It was and that TV problem was fixed. To fix our phone problem, the modem was replaced twice within a few days, which leads us to believe the first replacement was old and junk. Then our second TV stopped working. That problem was fixed by replacing the power cord, which was old and shot. After talking with several family and friends, the consensus is that Mediacom's basic equipment is old/out of date and needs serious replacement company wide.

    Mediacom does everything it promises, it just doesn't do it well. As for the service, the sound goes out for 30 seconds or more, many times per day. It's annoying. As for their online customer interface tools (multiple websites, online payment tools, etc), I can't believe how convoluted and unfriendly the whole system is. They have multiple log-in credentials (some require a Mediacom email address, some don't), and often I am redirected to a website that doesn't work. Simply paying my bill takes about 5 clicks to get to the bill paying template. They need a new IT team and to start over with today's technology and not try to piece together yesterday's.

Too many IDs and passwords just to pay your account or view any information online about your account.

    They (Mediacom Knoxville) never sent a cable box, blamed the mail carrier and a technician Billy after canceling on October 4 rescheduled for Monday Oct 8 at 5 pm and no call no showed. We were blown off twice after waiting a whole month. Extremely horrible and unprofessional. I think someone forgot to order the parts and wrongfully and falsely accused the mail service. We will use the wifi hotspot on our phones.

    I've had phone and internet with Mediacom for a year and the internet is slow sometimes or it goes out. I also wanted channels such as ITN, INSP and Hallmark Drama and they said they don't have those. However, I got good service and they always do what I look for when I call them. Mediacom is the best.

    We’ve had Mediacom for 11 years and we’ve always been satisfied with it. Recently, my daughter called the sales team for a certain issue and she asked her several questions. However, she didn’t get the answers that she felt like they could’ve given her. But then we’ve always had good luck when the boys come out and work on the TV. They would explain things and work until they find the problem. They were nice and polite too.

    Years back, we didn’t have cable at the house we were living in so I got cable from Mediacom. It was way back in the ‘80s. I use it everyday since I watch a lot of shows and sometimes, I like having Showtime HBO. The reps were good and I like Mediacom a lot. I’m happy with it.

    I was having trouble getting internet. We were stuck with DSL for a long time and people kept promising, “Oh yes, they could get us the real deal.” I’d sign up, get ready and they would come over. And the person that would put it in would say, “Oh I’m sorry. You can’t really get that in your neighborhood or it’ll be much slower.” I was sick of that. I talked to some of my friends and they said they have better luck with Mediacom. We had DirecTV satellite and the internet that we had was really shabby. When the weather was bad, the satellite stuff didn’t work either so we switched.

    My interaction with the Mediacom rep was reasonable. When we were gonna have the system installed, I was called out of town on a family emergency for a month. The installer showed up and only my wife was here but he was very helpful and handled the installation well. They called me out in Colorado and he clarified some things. He helped my wife set up a few things that she didn’t understand and I asked if he would do that since we’re not very tech savvy and he was willing to do a couple of those things that we didn’t understand.

    I have a few special things like HBO and one other. They always wanna include sports packages and those are the most expensive and we don’t want them. I’d rather get rid of sports and have HBO Showtime and those kinds of things instead. So far, the quality of the reception seems to be good and the internet is definitely faster than we had before. However, there are few things about the new system that we’re trying to better understand. It’s not always obvious to us whether we have a show or not. When we try to call about the channels, sometimes they’d say, “Well, this is not available right now.” So it got a little confusing to us and we’re still trying to sort some of that out but we’re figuring it out overtime. We record some of our favorite programs and then watch them at another time. And occasionally, I order up a movie.

    I gave up dial up after over 20 years to get the worst Internet and phone service. After my contract ended, I decided to continue with the service. Every month my internet connection goes out, which knocks out the phone service, also! I have had to call them every month to find out why this occurs repeatedly. Amazing these so call techs have no explanation as to why. They usually want to send a signal to the box and or send out a technician. Oh, don't mention filing a complaint. Meet with go ahead and do it. I pay my bill on time every month... no doubling and still get lousy internet connection. Goes out at the worst time. Middle of doing homework, fillings out forms. Early in the morning, afternoon and late at night.

    All those wonderfully advertisement on TV and via mail... then to finally give them a second chance after 10 yrs and they still suck!!! Customer service on each lost connection call tried to encourage to get their TV service, each time I declined. Stating if the internet and phone has issues why would I try their TV service. I even with as far as switching my box told the box had no signal. Yet the problem continues. I have asked several of the reps and techs about the lease obtain and the lease expires. They seem to nothing about that. The lost connections I noticed occurs when those two items changes, which is every month. However, in spite of the CSR and tech support denying they knew what I was taking about and that isn't the reason for the reason for the monthly reoccurring lost internet connection... the internet research I did indicated that is why the failed monthly connections. Search it!

    Mediacom was convenient and the price was right. I really liked the program too. But when I first came up to them 18 years ago, I had a bad experience and I wasn’t too happy with them. But I put the past to the past and I decided to go to Mediacom again. This second time, I’ve had a great service and great programming. It was a huge improvement on the company’s part to implement different things. The new technology has helped Mediacom to be a better company. They've really stepped up their service and there's a huge difference.

    I’m a big football fan and I really like to watch the NFL. I asked them if I could just get as many channels as I could and they said, “Oh, sure.” If there was something extra that I wanted to have, they were more than happy to help me with it as well. The installation experience was also very good and professional. They were on time, and in and out. They were also really nice, very courteous and very business-like. When I asked if I could sit here while they were doing this, they said sure. I was grateful that when they were done, I registered it and I was ready to go.

    The special events on TV and the football games have made my retirement really good. I’m able to flip through the programming and when there are special events or breaking news, I can always rely on turning on my TV and knowing that Mediacom will provide that service. I really like that. Sometimes, the reception’s not so great out here but that’s okay too, especially when there are storms. I don’t have any problems whatsoever. And if there is, they are very prompt and understanding. I would highly recommend them.

    I don't go anywhere and I decided to use Mediacom's cable service. I have it for the kids and grandkids. I've been with Medicacom for three years now and so far, I'm satisfied with my experience. Their selection keeps me from switching. I have the basic package with them and I get the cooking channels as well as Discovery. When the equipment was installed, they said that my wiring was old and didn't pass the code, so I had to redo it. Initially, it got cold or hot out there and they took off. Then it took five years before they came back and finished it.

    Also, after they were done, the wires are hanging and aren't neat like they said they'd be. They could've put them underneath my siding but instead they just looped them around. I have considered taking pictures of the wires and send them in to the company, but I wouldn't get anywhere doing that. I also tried calling them but every time I called for a complaint, I got someone I couldn't understand. However, one time, they got someone I could understand and he was very nice.

    Aside from that, I like the cable to work because I paid that much money for it. But there is an awful lot of interference with my TV and my little grandson fixed one of the things because I had static. Still, I can live with it and I'll just keep on going like I am. But lately I have been tempted because Dish keeps knocking at my door and they are pretty reasonable compared to Mediacom. Those little boxes I rent are $4 a month now and I have two of them. Their price is killing me. I have the boxes so I can use the old numbering system and when I got a new TV in the back room, it wouldn't have to use those boxes. But I don't care for that digital bit. It got me all mixed up, so my grandson hooked the box up to my TV.

    I changed from Dish to Mediacom because Dish didn’t do what they say they were gonna do. The sales rep from Mediacom was really time. He took his time and showed me things. He told me my bill was gonna be $86. When I got my first and second bills, they were at $86, but then it went to $92. I called Mediacom and the lady said something about fees. Mediacom is doing the same thing that Dish did. I only have basic cable and the price is too much, but I try to pay it every month. Before I signed on with Mediacom, I told the sales rep that I wanted my local channels. He did give it to me and I'm enjoying my local channels. Overall, I would recommend them, but the bill should stay just the way the sales rep said it would be.

    Our cable is the worst service I have ever seen. The neighbors that I have talked to feels the same way. I have a DVR and when I replay the recordings it freezes up. I have replaced this box at least 10 times. I decided that it is not the box. We all feel that it is the wires that come into our neighborhood. They need to be replaced. You should pay us instead of us paying you, or at least reduce our rates.

    Mediacom does have superior products. However, their customer service is the worst customer service in all that I've had contact with. My mom has had their service for over 35 yrs. She called as the phone, internet and cable wasn't working. They said they would have it fixed by 2:00 in the afternoon on Saturday. She called back on Saturday night and Sunday morning to no availability. They stated she needed to have an appointment set for 2 weeks out. They stated there was nothing they could do and hung up on her several times when she wanted to speak to a supervisor.

    I finally got through after waiting 15-20 minutes and I was connected to a supervisor after about a half an hour. I explained the situation and I advised this supervisor that my mom lives in a retirement community mobile home park. There is several individuals that don't have service and cannot wait for 2 weeks. Some including my mom need a phone in case of an emergency nor do any of them have access to entertainment or internet which is a big part of their lives. The supervisor put me on hold to contact dispatch and waalaa everyone has service again. It was that simple, no sorry no explanation for delay no details of why there was an appointment set for clearly something that could be completed over the phone. The supervisor then asked if I wanted the appointment canceled. What the heck... Your service and communication is unacceptable.
