    I've had Mediacom for five or six years and then I got rid of it for a while, and then I had to take it back because I wasn’t able to watch football. I've just been with it now and I've been putting up with paying $96 expanded basic cable which is too much. I usually don’t talk to their reps because they offer me something that I'm eligible for. I explain to them that I can't do that because it's gonna increase my bill every month. I'm just on Social Security so I can barely afford what I got now, and I don’t know how I can get my bill lowered and keep what I got. I thought they had a program to where they reward their customer for being with them for so long, but they don’t. Nonetheless, I had a fine experience with them. I'd tell others that Mediacom is the best deal they could get.

    Received 2 calls within 1 minute from Mediacom saying wait until they connect me with a technician. I waited and no one ever was there. I called back believing this is for my appointment since our internet keeps going out. The Representative Darius said the field rep was here and called. Neither happened. No miss calls, no vm plus my dog barks when the neighbors are even walking by my door. I asked where I can send a screenshot of my call history because someone is not doing their job and is making me the customer look like a liar. Darius said their website. I was trying to ask questions to which rep kept talking over me. I asked for his supervisor name Miss **. He put me on hold. Said I could speak to her right now.

    After waiting Darius came on. Said it was going to be about 2 hours for a callback. He said field tech should be here at 5:15. They were WILLING to come back. I asked Darius again if there was an email or somewhere where I could send screenshots. He kept talking over me and I asked him to stop that I was the customer to hear me out. He started laughing at me and I advised him he was giving negative 5 star customer service. I advised him I was going to report to this site to which he replied, "Go ahead." I advised him to have a nice day. I will be cutting the cord and I know there are a few new high speed internet providers in the metro. Cable not dsl. I am tired that Mediacom thinks it's ok to treat the very customers who pay their paychecks like this and say that the customer is lying. I was talking to Darius at 3:05pm Central Time. He needs to be walked to the door.

    I have been so dissatisfied and disappointed with Mediacom since I have been using their service just for past 2 months. I have used multiple internet providers in past and never have I had to go through anything like this. Mediacom doesn’t like to take responsibility for their own mistakes and make our life miserable. They show up without any notification and make some changes in our wires after which out internet stopped working. They don’t think it’s an error from their end but all they have to say is our next technician available is 10 days from today. I am never going back to using them as my internet provider ever. Customer support sucks and they say they value our business but I don’t believe they really mean it!!!

    On Friday everything was working just right. Then I did a stupid thing. I called Mediacom to upgrade our cable service and add a few channels. The sent a guy on Monday 3 days later to do that at the pole. His “upgrade” included rendering our TiVo box dead. I called in but it couldn’t be put right over the phone so we have no TV for 8 days. Seems like I’m paying more for nothing. Maybe I’m just dumb and this is good customer service; but I wish there were 2 cable companies serving our area so they would have to do better and earn people’s business. Although to be honest, I really like their internet speed.

    When I called Mediacom about the one box being out over a Labor Day weekend, they couldn’t get to me until the 10th of September. I told the lady to make it for afternoon because it’s at the lake, one hour away from us and she kept saying, “Well, it’s a 15-minute call ahead of time.” I said, “Well, I can’t be there in 15 minutes unless we come up during the day.” She set it for Monday morning between eight and noon so we ended up giving up what we had to do on Sunday, went up there Sunday night and at 9 o’clock they called and said, “Our technician is sick. He won’t be able to fix it.” So we were not happy. She did not even offer that I could go into town to maybe trade or have the office look at the box.

    They tried fixing it, per se, through the internet or through the line. But when it was hooked up, it didn’t work. After it sat from the Labor Day until the 10th, it started working so I have no idea what happened. During that time, it was not attached to anything. Also, we’re closer to Fort Wayne than we are the South Bend area and we have to pick up the South Bend station's instead of the Fort Wayne news. It does not make sense. I'm not happy with Mediacom.

    My neighbor right next door has Mediacom and they've got some kind of procedure where he can have me on as a buddy but I felt that wasn't really the right thing to do. So I went ahead and signed up and had the guys come out. Their employees are unbelievable. One guy who had my cable installed was staying at a hotel in Kearney, Missouri. It was raining and he said, "Nope, I want to get you fixed up so you can get on Mediacom." He worked despite the rain. He was soaking wet but the work was super. They had to put some new lines in and I got me a little box sitting on one of my bookshelves here. I just love Mediacom. It will take me 10 years to go through all of the movies they got. Every morning the first thing I do is sit, drink a cup of coffee or tea and get myself started on a show. Mediacom has a lot of very informative movies about wars which I just love. We learn so much.

    We turned in our "boxes" and had our service discontinued. However, about a week later we got a Mediacom bill for the next month. When I called Mediacom, the rep said unfortunately Mediacom continues to bill after the service ends. In other words, Mediacom ignores the cut off date of service and wants to bill when no service is provided. Mediacom appears to take the view that it is up to the prior customer to call the Mediacom office to challenge the bill. If the bill is not challenged, so much the better for Mediacom. SO, BUYER BEWARE WHEN YOU DISCONTINUE SERVICE WITH MEDIACOM!

    Mediacom has very courteous people. They're pretty pleasant to work with. They are also friendly and knowledgeable. I have Mediacom for my cable, and I'm very satisfied with it. They have improved their service so much that it has made it real nice, except when we had a little cold snap before it turned hot. When the TV in my den wouldn't work and I couldn't get the voice on it, it took Mediacom one week before they could get out here to fix that. The Mediacom man lives about five miles from me on the other side of town, and they could have done it quicker. But that was all right and I would recommend them.

    I used Mediacom before and they were always fair with me. The technicians were respectful and I never worry. It was a very positive experience. Most recently, I had some internet connection issues with the gaming console that I use and they fixed it. They went in and reset it.

    Called the toll free number on bill and spoke with someone about the box not working, error message, was no signal. We troubleshooted over the phone and it was determined that the box was bad and that they no longer carried that kind anymore but we could pay extra for a ebox. We went to our local office and told the story to a gifted customer service gal that I WISH I could remember her name. She took the time to check the power cord, the box and determined that the box was indeed bad. She thought that we would probably have to call in and have a hit sent to it.

    I called in and spoke with a gal and was put on hold for 15 minutes and she never came back so I hung up. I called back in and talked to a guy and he put us on hold for 15 minutes and never came back so I hung up after 30 minutes.

    My experience with Mediacom was like dealing with a bully. They took 4 weeks to come out and lay a new line. They did adjust my bill. When the room devices failed (one for the main room, twice for the bedroom) they always replace with used equipment. This makes it difficult as I work in MD and have to drive to Dagsboro during their office hours. Front desk minions were bare polite and unaccommodating.

    I had to go pick up a new box which was no big deal. Well then the new box didn’t work and I had to wait almost 2 weeks to get a tech to come evaluate. They fixed it. Then a week later it went out again! Took another week for someone to come out. The tech found out it was because the buried wire ‘had too much lubricant on the connector’. He fixed it. Then it went out again!

    At that point I was very frustrated especially when I got my bill and it was almost $50 more expensive! Come to found out they tacked on some premium channels we never had and never requested! Then to top it off it was going to be another week before they could come out and fix my service. Needless to say I wasn’t happy with that so I was able to get a new provider to come out and connect new service before Mediacom could come out so I switched! I can take a lot and brush a good bit of things off but this was seriously some of the worst customer service I’d ever experienced.

    The gentleman who installed the cable was very professional, creative and friendly in the manner in which he dealt with the rewiring and hooking up of the system.

    He followed the procedure of getting a signature from owner before drilling into the building. He cleaned up after his job was complete.

    Recently I lost both TV and Internet Service. I waited over 2 hours to see if service would return before calling MEDIACOM. After going through multiple tests I was told I'd have to have a service call. I was told a service technician would be there in FIVE DAYS. I can't believe they would leave a customer without service for 5 days.

    The tech who fixed our cable was excellent, very capable and efficient. He did his job quickly, arrived on time, called before he arrived and did a great job of getting our service restored. However, the 12 days to get service was totally unacceptable. It was out from August 3rd until our appointment on August 15th. Totally unacceptable.

    While Mediacom's Twitter Support and DSL Reports have stayed on top of the situation, and the techs have been awesome in doing everything they possibly could, I have to say that this last month has been the worst yet when it's come to my internet service. I've been with them for 3 years since I moved into this apartment. Once a year I have a major issue with upload that is resolved within the week. I have changed my modem a total of three times. This time, the issues have been going on for a month. I've been keeping track of when this occurs so I can receive bill credit.

    Every night, at around 8 PM, the upload drops (and the download at times ain't that great either). Like clockwork. When it's great and awesome throughout the day. I know Mediacom doesn't throttle and I've had issues like this before but this honestly makes me suspicious. I've done tests and I know it's not my equipment because if it was, the issues would happen all the time and they haven't. There's been periods of 2-3 days in the midst of this mess when things have been perfect. All day. And then it goes right back to being crap.

    The issue has finally been escalated to the Tech Ops Supervisor and I have another appointment next week. Honestly, if I could go with another ISP, I would, because this has been, without a lot, the MOST stressful experience I've had with an ISP. If you have more choices than Mediacom, please do not choose them for your ISP. I don't have a choice, or I'd be with someone else. The minute I do get another choice, I'm gone.

    We have cable, internet, and phone service from Mediacom at the office. We used to have a really good rep, but now, you just can't get their attention and sometimes it's frustrating. When they hooked me up, I had a Robocall, but they didn't call the Robocall. But my rollover number for my Fence Line was a 433 number, and I was getting calls from people asking what I wanted. I would tell these people that we didn’t call you and they said they received a call from my number to call back. I got a call from the same line on my cellphone, so I called Mediacom to change that number. Somebody said that they could do it in-house, but they screwed it up and put it over on a Horace Mann Insurance line that a guy rented an office here. So my rollover number from the Fence company said Horace Mann Insurance.

    I got Ryan to straighten that out but he didn't get everything straightened out. They had a CenturyLink guy in to get final things straightened. It was a fiasco. It's done now but we didn’t get messages for over four days from the Fence company. Mediacom has been excellent until now. This was not a good situation from all accounts and from their account either, and I understand that being in business. I had a couple of really nice reps that tried to straighten it out, but somebody earlier had screwed it up somehow. They need to do some investigation because I've always recommended Mediacom and this was the first time they screwed up.

    My experience with Mediacom has been bittersweet. They’re the only company in the area that can provide a certain level of quality and consistency versus DSL or satellite internet options, but, ironically, that’s also where they’re lacking. Their prices do not meet the quality or consistency of service that they provide. I’m paying for 100 mbps of service, but regularly get speeds of 5 or less. There are times where my internet goes out for hours as well.

    I’ve called multiple times, had technicians come to my apartment twice, and the issues persist. You guys charge a fortune - the internet should be good, high speed about 85% of the time, at least. Your customer service agents are wonderful, but there’s only so much they can do. The problem lies in the hardware or something. I was once told there’s an issue with the connection to my building, so maybe there’s no easy fix for that, but... Mediacom should take that into account. I’m advertised speeds up to 100 mbps... in no universe should I only be getting 5, ever. 25, at least, I’d be happy. Good lord.

That is very comforting they were patient and a suited me that they would stay with me till whatever issue got taken care of. There are several things I love about their service, one of them is that through that Tivo TV they can give their customers access to Netflix, Vudu, Hulu and other apps even when the TV is not a smart one.

I told them that I would be around all day and they informed me that they would be here between 1:00 and 5:00, and they showed up about 4:00. They hooked up the cable and they weren't here that long. They had to put something in the computer to get it turned on, and everything was fine. Mediacom's service has been pretty good. When a tower went out for about seven hours, I went out and told Mediacom about it and that it has been down for a long time.

    Mediacom's cable and telephone services were reasonable. But for some reason, it was for a short period of time. My TV and phone went from 74 up to a 114. They should let me know when they’re gonna up the price but they don’t. They just up it. They take it out of my checking account, so I was a little disappointed with that. I contacted them. They could do a little better. I told them we could discontinue the phone this month and the TV next month. When they lose a customer, they lose money. They finally called and finally came up with something halfway decent for a year, so I stayed with them.

    Mediacom had some kind of a deal where one has to have a computer and I don’t have a computer. And so, they sent the deal to me and I returned it. Overall, Mediacom has been decent. A lot of times, their service goes off the air for a few seconds. But other than that, we get along okay. Also, the service rep that has been here does really good.

    Our cable was put in when we moved here in '88. That time, they still weren't called Mediacom. It was another company then Mediacom came in and bought that company out. They were the only cable provider in Americus too. Their customer service has been good as well as the cable service. Also whenever I look at my bill, I have no problems. But, I'm paying $90 for basic cable and if they wanna go up on something, they'd go up. They gave us some new boxes and it cost me $5 a month. I should have to pay nothing because I am already subscribed for their service. It's ridiculous, it doesn't make sense and I'm retired and 68 years old. So, I'm about to start looking for somebody out.

    We’ve been with Mediacom since we first started and we just stuck with them. The installation guy explained everything. He even gave me his phone number if I needed to call him. They helped me and they have real good service. I like the automated service where I can just call and most of the time it’s fixed that way, which is fast. I'm very satisfied with them.

    We're using Mediacom's cable services. The team from Mediacom was okay, and the installation of our equipment was fine. The only thing is that every year, the price seems to go up with no more benefits and it got to the point where I don’t think I can afford them anymore. It started out at $50 and now, it’s a $106.

    My refund for the modem charge was posted to my account. While it did take longer than it should have, Mediacom has completely resolved the issue.

    Original Review: Aug. 15, 2018

    I returned my Mediacom modem mid July as I purchased my own because paying $10/month to rent one is ridiculous. It was returned in the box provided by Mediacom after I called requesting a return. The rental charge has yet to be taken off my bill or a credit been issued. Every time I call they say I will get a response in 24-48 hrs, not once has that happened. I am however quite happy with the quality of the internet service. Stable with no outages or issues whatsoever.

    The service is average and most comparable to COMCAST. Same kind of disconnect rates and outages. I also had a few months of problems initially that caused a bit of a headache. The service, however, was not my major problem with the company. My "promo" period ended and I called up to negotiate my rate seeing as it now went up by over 50%. I could understand $60 is a promo price but now paying $100 a month feels awfully excessive. I called them to offer to meet them in the middle and pay $80/month for the same service.

    First, I'll say that both Mary and Nancy were very nice and professional. However, they were not able to do anything but repeat what seemed to be a script. They reiterated that there was nothing they could do about the cost of my bill even though there are competitors in the area with fairer pricing, I know it's not the support rep’s fault but an exec somewhere that makes these decisions. I find it hard to believe that the company's bottom line would be hurt so much by a $20 reduction in cost (after previously offering $40 reduction) that it is worth it to lose a customer with good payment standing.

    In the end, I will have to terminate my account at the end of the billing cycle and sign up with a competitor. It's a bit more of a headache but I will save $300 the first year and was told they are willing to renegotiate the rate after the first year to keep my business if I switch. I'm sure they liked the idea of getting a competitor's customer. If Mediacom was willing to work with me I probably would stay with the service so I might try to get a manager but it doesn't seem like they are interested.

I called and asked what was going on and they said they couldn't get back out to me for another two weeks. So I wasn’t too happy about that in the beginning. But ever since then, if I’ve had an issue, I’ve called and everything’s been settled and set up good.

    The installation was also good. The guy came in and replaced a couple of lines even though he really didn’t need to replace them. But he said that brand-new is better so I said okay. The only thing I have really had an issue over now is my Wi-Fi. If I’m at the back of the house, it wants to cut out a lot. It’s not like my house is so huge. Otherwise, the service has been decent.

I support the military as a contractor and if I told them I'll fix their equipment sometime today, I'd get fired. I just moved here three months ago and from what I gather, there is no quality cable/internet service in the area. I definitely won't be staying here. I lived in Tampa and Bright House Networks is a 10! If you move to central Florida, I highly recommend them.

    My niece was using Mediacom and I got a better offer. The guy who came out to do the installation was very nice and he was dressed very nice too. When he knocked the vase over as he was moving stuff around, he offered to pay for it but I told him it was okay. When people have had to come out or do anything, they've been very nice people as well. The Mediacom service has been real good. I've got the internet and all the programs that I need. I like the ones that I'm watching, like the old movies and the Cowboy one, and I have both the channels for older movies and for western movies. Plus I can get to them real good.

    I fully enjoy Mediacom. I wish their rates weren't so expensive. Be nice if they would offer their dedicated customers special bonuses like they do new customers and like a free month of cable like every 3 years of dedication. Other than the cost they are awesome. Customer service is on top. Whenever I needed someone to come out the field service guys are very nice and curtious.

    I'm happy with Mediacom. The phone service is good and I also have cable with them. I usually watch sports and my package definitely has a lot of sport channels. I watch football, basketball and baseball. Every now and then we have a little trouble but they seem to get it cleared up. Once they said there was something around here that was off and our local stations were off for four days but I have enough channels so I can watch something else. Mediacom people have also been here twice and they were friendly and professional. Overall, I'm satisfied with the company.

    I've had the other providers and now that I have Mediacom, I think all three of them are lousy. If the weather changes, you lose your services but they don’t subtract that from your bill when the service comes back on. When they do subtract it, they only subtract a dollar even when your service had been off for four hours. So I don’t think they are doing a very good customer service. Mediacom's representatives aren't very professional or friendly either. And although the installation went okay, people came out some other day when I wasn’t home and didn't clean up after themselves. They repaired the wire that went from my house to the pole and left the old wire in my driveway. Otherwise, the quality of service is fine.

    Shady business practices. Had me package (and bill) corrected until I had internet issues, which, after 8 months proved to be their issue. Well, anyway, after my year came due, I noticed my bill changed but looked closer and saw that there was a new line on my bill (HDTV 525) which is a video receiver (which I've never had (I own my own TiVo). This caused my bill to go up and additional $20 a month. I called as soon as I noticed it and was told there is no way to take the receiver change off even though I have my own and that their packages had changed and there was no way to take it off. I've called twice and have been told the same thing.

    I love the product, but the implementation of it is terrible. Installation was a disaster. First it was winter and the installer laid the cable over the driveway which broke the very next day. The installer didn't hook up our phone either. I had voicemail, but didn't know it, was given no insight into how to use it or anything. The website is great to sell you something but is terrible to find out information. I couldn't turn off the voicemail, which I didn't want at all. They give you a Mediacom email account which seemed to be a big secret also. I just tried to update my billing, but I couldn't even do that on the website, it just kept saying invalid data, what data was invalid I have no idea.

    I tried calling and their choices don't make sense, it just wastes my time and my father agrees. He has had the same experience with the phone. I tried setting it up for my business and it never happened. Their management and implementation really lack. They have a good product or I would have given them one star. On their website the boxes have the same outline color as the background also, so you can't see the boxes. I could go on and on. I am satisfied if I never have to talk to them. The people on the phone are nice, but the system itself to reach them is awful.

    If there are no notes on file of our complaints or requests for repairs to be made at the pole, then it can only be because customer service reps and managers we talked to did not record them.

    Finally today, a tech came out and confirmed an incorrectly installed splitter on the line coming from a damaged main tap (or port, they used both terminologies) He said the equipment at the pole was poorly installed and defective. He removed the splitter, which he said was potentially diluting signal and should have never been installed in the first place. He said he set up a call for a second tech to replace the defective port. Miraculously a second tech arrived today about an hour after the first left, and replaced the defective port.

    I am grateful for the fast and responsive service we received today, which hopefully will fix not only our issues, but issues our neighbors may also have been experiencing while connected through the same defective port. However it should not have taken months of repeated, ignored calls to correct it.

    Other than this recurring equpment issue, I will say that we routinely get 95 mbps down on wireless with our Mediacom service, when it's working. I find the speed to be quite good and hope we can continue on with Mediacom without any further troubles. Thanks!

    Original Review: Aug. 2, 2018

    We have been with Mediacom for several months now, mostly because of lack of choice in our small town. Internet service has been patchy the whole time with outages and slow service daily. Early on in our time with Mediacom we had a service tech come out due to an outage. He repaired a line at the house and told us that while it got our internet back up, there was still a problem with a cracked splitter on the line at the pole in back. He said this cracked splitter was affecting about 5 other customers as well, and was an FCC violation. He said another tech would be back out in a week or two to fix it. Another tech never came. We have frequent daily slowdowns and short outages of internet. Our internet frequently goes out for a short while after it rains. We've called for service several times. We've escalated to management. Each time they say they will send a tech. A tech never comes.

    I work from home and depend on reliable internet to get my work done. I have a college student at home taking online classes that needs to get his work done. We need reliable internet. It rained last night, so of course this afternoon our internet again is patchy, constantly stalling and going down for short durations. Once again we called for service, and we were told that will have to wait at least two weeks for service. Past experience tells me no one is coming. Mediacom, you have had months to fix this simple problem. I will be reporting a violation.

    I have been with Mediacom for over 4 years. Last year when my bill increased I called them since I knew I would not be able to afford their services. I was no longer under contract. I was going to leave the company and go to another cable provider. The rep from Mediacom was then very helpful and was able to lower my bill to be around $123+ since I explained that I am on a fixed income. About 6 months in my bill changed to $143 and I didn't complain. I just received my new bill and it was increased to $173.10. I immediately called them and was then told that a year had past and supposedly my rate is increased. I then told them if I could not afford my bill last year why would they think I would agree to a increase in my bill a year later. I told them I wanted to close my account down. She then told me she could downgrade my account to their essential plan and when I looked at this plan 60% was music channels which I would never use.

    She said that she would transfer me to the loyalty department. They called me just now to basically said the same thing about the essential package which will cost me $147.00 and I lose channels that I watch. Of course when I asked to cancel my service she then tells me she checked a recording and that I agreed to the terms and my contract was 2 years and if I cancel I have to pay a termination fee. I may have told them I would take 2 year contract but I never would have even agreed to it knowing my bill would increase after 1 year. If I couldn't afford it then I cannot afford it now. She has moved me to the essential plan which I am not happy about at all. I am paying almost the same but l getting less service. She apologized but said she could not do anything about it. To me this is sad that the company really doesn't care about its loyal customers.

    I wish I could switch to another provider, but sadly, Mediacom is the only "fast" internet provider in my area so I am stuck, otherwise there is DSL which I don't prefer either. Where to start my dissatisfaction?! First off, don't expect to get service all the time, I am a gamer, so I'm supposed to get 1 TB each month and I am somehow constantly hitting that and being throttled (love how internet has a cap these days...). On top of hardly getting decent speed, I *CONSTANTLY* deal with my internet not working. Tonight, while trying to play my video game, connect/disconnect/connect, etc. I've been dealing with this since day 1 so... 6 months now. It gets SO tiresome!

    I pay a huge amount for literally ONE tv and internet and I'm actually behind by 1 month because I am so on the fence about wanting to keep my services. I personally will be calling Mediacom tomorrow because this is getting ridiculous and they want to charge me $150 a month for something I only get use out of 50% of the time IF I'M LUCKY!!! I even drilled a hole in my wall and hardwired my computer to the Ethernet in hopes that maybe it was just the wifi being weird - NOPE! Still having connection issues. So now I have a lovely hole in my wall and still no constant internet.

    I have a 4 yr old who doesn't understand "The internet isn't working right now" so I also get to deal with the headache of her crying because she can't watch her shows. She *has* to fall asleep to a certain show on Netflix (Sarah & Duck) otherwise she is NOT going to bed... You see where this is going aka one pissed off tired parent. I don't know what is going on with this company, if they just like to get a kick out of collecting a ton of money and then offering a crap service in return, but once I can get another internet provider in my area that offers high speed, I will most likely be switching because this is damn near unbearable as a gamer, especially since I live stream also.

    People rely on the internet - I rely on it for my scheduling for work. If I can't make my work schedule for work, I don't work, which means I don't make money which means now I am a pissed off tired parent who is now broke on top of it. I wouldn't recommend Mediacom to my worst enemy. Seriously if you can go with *anyone* else, do so! There is no reason internet should blink off and on as much as this internet provider does. As for their TV services, I actually have zero complaint on that, so if you are looking for decent cable TV they are fine for that - Just not internet.

    I live in the Centerville Lofts and they had the system set up for Mediacom when they built the building. Mediacom is all they will allow us to have and we cannot have any dishes attached to the building. I've had Mediacom before and I've never had any problems with it. So this recent time, I called and told them that I wanted the TV hooked up to Mediacom. They set up a time and a tech came out and hooked it up. For some reason, I have a control board in the laundry room and when he came to do things, he had to go in there and flip some switches. I don't know what it was about but all I do now is turn it on, watch my programs, then turn it off.

    I have all three services, the TV, phone and internet but and I do not have a telephone. So, when the phone calls come in on it, I just get the numbers at the top ‘cause I use a separate phone and I have the internet which I said I just finally got it hooked up. I've been trying to do it and I couldn’t do it. Since they came out and hooked the services up in February, I don’t have a telephone and I have not been able to use my computer because I couldn’t get it to work right. So, I've been paying for something I haven't had.

    I have the basic cable and I'm thinking about upgrading it to the family system in a month or two because I haven't had movie channels. I like the fact that ION TV and Heroes and Icons got a day full of just one program and they show different episodes. Heroes and Icons also show JAG, which is my favorite program, on Wednesdays. If the TV doesn’t work then I'll be screaming. My health was going downhill and if anybody does something and I don’t like it, they'll hear about it before I was too short not to. If the system has a problem and it's being provided, then fix it or take it out.

    Then this morning, one of my neighbors told me that her bill went up because they charged her for Starz. I told her that when one gets hooked up to Starz, they are given a three months trial period. She said that it was six months and she didn’t know about it. I then said that nobody told me I had Starz. So, if it comes up on my bill, I'll be calling somebody because I wasn’t told and I don’t like paying a TV channel which I wouldn’t have been watching because it's movies.

    I didn’t mind paying for the computer because I knew I eventually would get it hooked up. I have had several friends trying to help me do it but I still couldn’t get it hooked up or to do anything. So, I called in and a tech came out the day before yesterday and he worked on it for quite a while. He worked on the computer, the TV, and other stuff and got those all set up so that I can use them. I had to put in my email as well and I had trouble doing that, but we finally got it done. Now, I've got to put in my address books and a few websites that I'm going to be using.

    Initially, Mediacom had a lesser price package, but now, others have lots of lesser prices so I've been considering switching. There's also a lot of static in the picture and my computer is slow. If I go to like Netflix, a lot of times, it doesn't pick up the signals and I have to do it 3 or 4 times. So this last couple of years, the service has not been as good as what it was initially. Then the prices keep going up and that's how people switch to ones that give a better deal. While I really prefer to stay with one, sometimes I have to do what I have to do. And I know some people who go for a year here then a year there. Other than that, the Mediacom team has been good and they've answered questions for me when I've had questions. Most of them refer me to whatever the TV I have or the Blu-ray. I call them to find out what's going on and ask about routers and the machine they gave.

A couple of years ago, I wanted to get golf on my channel and I saw it on Mediacom, but I couldn’t get it. My granddaughter had it on one of the other ones. They had it on a regular channel, so I asked, “Can you get me golf?” They looked around, came back and said, “Yeah. We can put it on there for you.” Now I have golf I enjoy every weekend.

When the cable goes out, I call the customer service and then they tell me what's going on and we go from there. A few years ago, we had a situation where the line was in the trees at the alleyway, but they weren’t sure what was the problem either so they came and looked. They were very good about fixing that and I was really glad that they got it fixed right away. We also got a new box and different things like that over the years but otherwise, I haven't really talked with any sales people.

    I've had Mediacom since 1997 and they had a good price at the time. But they keep changing their price all the time, so I don't know if I even got a good price. They also changed their recording where you can't talk to a person and it makes it difficult. When there was a power outage, I tried to contact somebody and I had difficulty because of the recording and I couldn't get to a live person.

    I usually paid my bill at their office which was close to my home. But when I went to pay my bill one day, they were closed and there was a piece of paper on the door saying they had moved months ago. It was a really poor sign, hard to read, and it was just handwritten, and very small, and very high up. They moved to West Apache Trail and it's very hard to find because it’s set back. I drove for so long and I was exhausted. Mediacom should have notified us in our bill the previous month that they were moving to this new location. I was really upset about it. I was surprised that they did business that way. People are working in the office and there’s always quite a few people in there, and nobody could make a decent sign. It was really shoddy.

    Original Review: July 13, 2018

    On Friday, July 6, 2018 a Mediacom subcontractor was burying a Mediacom cable across the street from my residence at 233 Pelican Circle, Panama City Beach, Florida. They cut my cable drop in four different places over a distance of about fifty feet. I received no feedback from the subcontractor that they had damaged my drop. I was unaware as to the cause of the loss and did not realize that they were burying cable in the area where my drop was buried. I lost internet service during the time the subtractor was burying cable. The lost service lasted for 6 days. I reported the outage to Mediacom on Friday, July 6, 2018. I was unable to receive a visit from a Mediacom technician until Monday, July 9, 2018, who determined that my lost service was due to an outage of my drop and told me it would take 2 to 3 weeks to restore my service.

    It took a special request by me on Tuesday, July 10, 2018 for expedited service (since my loss of service was the direct responsibility of a Mediacom sub-contractor) and 2 more days and two additional technicians to troubleshoot the cause of my lost service and restore it. I am very dissatisfied with performance of the subtractor that was burying cable for Mediacom and less than satisfied that it took a special request by me to receive expedited service from Mediacom for a problem caused by its subcontractor.

Multiple hours spent on the phone with tech support. 1st tech set up our internet and EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER was on our wifi. The first tech ripped already run cables out of the walls. Our wifi never worked and continued to kick us off, the modem he provided us was filthy. 2nd tech refused to run lines or do any kind of attic work. The tech provided my family member with the cut cables and endings and sent him running through the attic to run the line. The tech never went in the attic at all, the tech barely even helped with anything.

    The internet now that everyone is hardwired in is still horrible. The ping is outrageous. We purchased our own modem due to the fact of the faulty equipment being brought to our home. With that being said, you wanted $150 for us to start service when you sent an email out with NO COD and made a deal with us that we could only pay the 150$ on the first bill and then this mess happened. We still have bad internet that drops in and out of service. Dropping 10/20$ off the bill is not enough to say the least considering SOMEONE ELSE DID YOUR TECHS JOBS.

    There had been an outage in our area with all 3 services. The next morning I discovered the outage had been restored, but our phone and internet still weren't working. The representative that took my call was very helpful and patient. She walked me through what I needed to do at my end and explained what she was doing at her end. Problem solved! I have always been happy with customer service that we have received. I can get a "real" person quickly, I can understand them (big plus!) and they make sure I'm satisfied.

    Our experience with Mediacom has generally been positive. We particularly like the speeds we receive. We have had a few outages but they have been corrected quickly. The only problems we have had involve trying to set up our internet using Mediacom's DNS servers (very glitchy, wound up using Google's instead) and when technicians visit our apartment complex to start service or fix someone else's service, invariably, they pull the wrong plug and disconnect us. It has become so predictable, we station ourselves outside the maintenance room door to make sure we're reconnected before they leave.

    The final result was excellent, internet is great now. But, it took many service phone calls, and two on-site service trips. In all it took about 3-4 weeks to resolve the problem. I had to reset modem at least 25 times, almost every two hours at one point until one day it completely stopped. The wait time between the initial call and the service rep schedule is about 7-10 days. This is unacceptable. Then, when the first service rep did not fix the problem. I had to wait another 7-10 days. Really? This is extremely unacceptable. I called back numerous times to move up the 2nd service call, finally got it moved up a few days.

    To be fair - as long as there weren’t any technical problems MediaCom was satisfactory. Unfortunately I had two problems in the month preceding my decision to use a different service. The first came when my television and internet went out at 5:30 in the morning. I called at 9:15 to find out what the problem was. I was told that there was an outage on my street that would be fixed in 1-2 hours.

    At 1 pm service had not resumed so I called back. I was told that there was no record of an outage and I should try rebooting the system which I had done several times before calling. I was also told that a repair person would be scheduled but the date was not for another 2 weeks. After speaking to a supervisor and explaining what had happened I was told that a person could come by in 3 days. Shortly after hanging up my service was restored. The internet continued to be sporadic - much of the time I was running internet off my iPhone. I called to schedule a service appointment and was told that someone would be there the next day between 8 and 12. After waiting all day for someone to show up I called and asked what was going on. That representative said no one would be there for another 4 days and I should have received a confirmation. I hadn’t.

    At that point it was apparent that each person I spoke with had a different story and that MediaCom was not a trustworthy company. Friends had warned me before signing ups that there would be problems with MediaCom but as it was the only cable company available. I decided to sign up anyway. Obviously they were right.

Having had 4 technicians come out only 1 humored the idea that something was setup incorrectly, and it was. Every time we call in we get different answers and excuses from each person.

    We had an outage. Lost television, phone and internet for a short period of time. When it came back on, we had no wi-fi. I called in the evening. Couldn't help me. Called back in the night. Couldn't help me -- even said something about charging me $100. Called in the morning and reached Tina. She knew the issue and fixed it immediately. Thank You Tina. My advice is call during the day if at all possible.

    Mediacom the only cable company that I can have where I am located. I also have internet and phone. Now there is another company that offers those but their internet speed is not nearly as fast as Mediacom. The tech guy that came out to hook up our cable and phone and also give us a new modem case we currently only had internet and there was a malfunction with the modem so internet barely worked. He first started off saying we couldn't get cable cause the previous tech that came out told him the was no connection in the building for it and they would have to contact our landlord to find out if they could drill into the siding.

    Well we talked to him told him where the cable line came into our building at because we had this issue before. He listened to us and he found the line. He hooked 2 rooms up with cable found out the previous tech that hooked up our internet didn't even make sure connections were secure and there was debris inside the wires that caused the connection problem. He changed out the modem anyway checked all connections put in new Jack's that were previously blocked. He hooked up our phone which we still don't have a phone connected to it. He moved fast and was very efficient. He chatted with us about all kinds of stuff while he was hooking us up. One downfall is it took an entire month for us to find out our home phone #. Nobody gave it to us.

    We had to call customer support to get it. He directed us to tech support when we had questions about changing our internet name and password explained many things we had no idea about when it came to the internet and how to control the cable. We loved having him here. He was even friendly with our dog who was barking Every time he had to come back in from her kennel. I am not however satisfied with the person you placed our order for us. Never did the mention that you get billed a month in advance for cable cause internet doesn't do that. So when we got our first bill for all 3 products it was a 2 month bill and it was almost $300.

    Now if I were to know that I wouldn't have ordered the services because I live on a fixed income only $962 a month and I wasn't able to pay the whole bill. I also only get my check once a month which means I'll also have a high bill next month which I'll only be able to pay the amount I was quoted it would be. So I have a feeling I'm always going to be behind which really upsets me. They should really make sure they address this and have those sales reps tell customers about the billing so they are prepared for it cause if I was prepared for it I would have made sure I saved some money out of the month before check to help cover it. Just saying. But other than that the 2nd hookup was great the tech was awesome. We were informed of almost everything he needed to tell me. I gave it 3 stars because of the billing issue and the fact that I was being billed for a phone # that nobody provided the # to.

    Got internet few months back. The first couple months work great. But last month and this month not working very well. I had to wait about two weeks for tech support to come out and fix it. The internet went out again so I called Mediacom to set up appointment for tech support. They said I have to wait a month for them to come out and fix it. I said to myself, "Really I have to wait a month before I get my internet fixed" and yesterday tech support came out and fixed it. This was before July. I have to wait until July 23rd. If this keeps up I am going to be done with Mediacom. I got the internet to play video games and to watch Youtube. I can't even do that.

    Normally I’d be annoyed at how I had to call in about this issue to begin with. But my rep was nice patient and courteous so I just couldn’t be mean. She even resolved my issueS because I had more than one. Mediacom itself... I love it’s service BUT I have too many tech difficulties and I work from home. So it’s always a risk with my job. I can’t get Mediacom business because they don’t offer the package I need for each individual thing and I need a separate phone line. I may just purchase a Vonage or something but that’s neither here or there. The experience was awesome yesterday and I’m satisfied with my results.

    I had Dish and DIRECTV and I was tired of the exuberant prices. I wanted to try something different and got Mediacom. And the Mediacom team was really good. They were polite and kind. I play a lot of music and I stream a lot of shows through my TV and my phone. Unfortunately I gotta call them again because the internet speed is kind of slow. They do good with everything except for that speed problem and hopefully we would get it fixed for good.

    The guy who came for the installation gave me more information than the person who sold me on the package. On the phone, when Mediacom was trying to sell me the package, they were a little bit misleading with what I would get. They didn't want to go into detail too much. But the guy who came was straightforward and honest. I told him I wanted to know a little bit more about the package and he took the time to tell me about it. And I hated to turn him away 'cause I knew he didn't get paid for the install that day and I felt bad about that. Other than that, my experience with Mediacom has been fine. Once in a while, I have problems with it but I got it because I don't like this other one where you get problems in the winter and they're missing programs.

    I've been using Mediacom for years. They were all good people but I'm not very happy with their internet because it's awfully slow. The cable was bad for a while but it does good. But I'm overall satisfied.

    I came back to Wisconsin so I dropped Mediacom but I am satisfied with them and I am coming back in September. The reps were friendly and informative and it was fine speaking with them. I used their services for personal reasons and when I had trouble with it, I called and talked to someone then I had Mediacom again. I was very happy with what the rep did.

    We had DirecTV before but then every time it sprinkled, the TV went out. Prior to DirecTV, we had Mediacom and so we decided to go back to them. We really like their service for our TV and cellphones and their customer service comes almost right away. However, the service costs too much. Though we still have Mediacom, it has gone up to $119 a month so I've been thinking of changing. We're living on social security so we're trying to cut down on different things.

    My husband got Mediacom to save a few bucks and it has been okay. The sales team seems to know what they were doing. The installation guys also did their job very quickly. The only trouble I have sometimes is with the television set. It just seems to all of a sudden blackout. Some days it'll blackout for an hour or several hours and we had no idea why. There was a time it was like two days in a row.

    We are moving to a new community where I was given Mediacom as the cable/internet provider. I called them around June 18 which is 2-3 weeks ahead of when I want internet service assuming that is enough time.vSince this is new construction, I was told June 26 is when they will do serviceability check. Apparently their technician went and said 'not serviceable'- which was surprising because most homes in this community have Mediacom already. They didnt even call me back to tell me status and I had to call them 1 or 2 days later and when I asked the reason why, customer rep told me it was not there in the system and when I asked to be given the local technician or office number I was not given one.

    I gave them our builder's contact number and my contact number for technician to reach me but no one ever gave me a call so far. After me pushing, they scheduled another checkup July 2 and again no idea what status is when I called them again July 3. We are moving in July 5 and currently it looks like we would be left without internet for God knows how long. Very disappointed with Mediacom's response and handling of this so far.

    Mediacom has been my Internet Service Provider at my weekend home for five years. On May 26th I arrived for the Memorial Day weekend holiday, and found that my service was out. When checking through my router, I determined that there is no signal being delivered to my home. We managed to get through the holiday weekend (without any internet service) and Mediacom sent a technician the following week. The technician called me on May 31 and confirmed that there was NO signal being delivered to my home and that he would put in an order to fix the external cable feeding my home. I followed up repeatedly and was advised that the problem would be resolved on June 22 (almost a month after the problem was reported)! June 22 came and went, and when I arrived on July 2 for the Independence Day holiday I discovered that NOTHING HAD BEEN DONE!

    I spent all afternoon on the 2nd talking to multiple Mediacom Customer Service Representatives and Supervisors. I was assured that technician would be dispatched on July 3rd. After waiting around ALL DAY, my phone rang and when I picked up there was no-one there... I immediately called Mediacom, and was advised that my appointment was cancelled! It is hard to understand how and why a customer could go almost six weeks now with NO SUPPORT OR EXPLANATION as to why my service can't be delivered! The Mediacom customer service representatives are absolutely inept at helping. They can do no more than read from a prepared script. And worse, the last representative I spoke with (Michael, employee number **) was rude and condescending as well!
