    There's nothing on regular TV anymore so I like Mediacom cable. I have been with them for years. The installation guys were right on time and real friendly. The sales team, on the other hand, takes their time getting here but they show up. I had to call to have the boxes and remotes changed because they have messed up. I've had this remote for years. Otherwise, I ain’t got no problem with the boxes.

    Going with Mediacom was the logical thing to do. I have the internet service and a basic package recommended by them. I told them what I wanted. They put the package together. The sales team was very fine to work with. They were friendly and knowledgeable. The installation and their service were all fine. Whenever I called up, they quickly responded and I got the help I needed. It's a good experience with Mediacom.

    I’ve always had Mediacom when I lived at my other house. Mediacom is the main one here in an assisted living place at Arlington where so many people live. I ordered the movie channel from Mediacom and I'm having problems with it. I'm an old lady and I just want to turn it on to where the movies are but I don't know how to run it. I want to try to figure it out myself and I'm going to try one more week. I'm so thankful that I have the music channel because that's my favorite.

    The installation was a sad experience but I'm not going to blame the guy that came. I was eating supper then so the director that was in charge went with him to my room and they installed the system. It was the director’s fault because she should have told me that he was here and I would have had him come down and explain to me what I had to do. The only thing that bothered me is this unit, a tiny box, is sitting on top and I would like it to be back up or down on the floor or someplace else where the other one is. He came back down and tried to explain it to me but when you're old, it takes a little longer to absorb all this stuff. Otherwise, the service has been great and they're here when I need them.

    The Mediacom cable came with my home. A guy came that was supposed to connect us to the computer but he said he only came to connect the TV and that I need to get somebody else. The appointment had to be changed a couple of times and that was bad. Finally, another gentleman came and installed the internet. However, my computer is old and not doing well, so I'm starting to learn how to use my iPad. My son-in-law would bring me a different computer when he has time. I'm awake so much in the night and I watch TV when it's on. But sometimes, the cable is off in the middle of the night for two or three hours and I can't figure out why. The next time it's off, I would call Mediacom about it.

    We have been with Mediacom for about seven years but we had disconnected for a little bit because of the price and then came back when they had the special going on about three years ago. The installation went fine but they didn’t remove the old cable so there are two cables running beside the house which makes it look bad. When our box went down, Mediacom sent out a replacement right away, and we took our old one up when we disconnected, all the way up to Des Moines. If they had a shipper service where they’d send out a box or a mailer label that paid for the postage on that deal, that would be great. Mediacom service is perfect all the time and I haven’t heard any complaints from the kids. One boy gets on there and he’ll do a bit of gaming with his brother in California and my daughter does Snapchat. However, I was having trouble getting on to my bank website one day but that might have been the website, not the Wi-Fi.

    Mediacom is the main cable and internet provider here. When we first went to them, we got their internet service and they did a good job. They were nice guys so I liked them. My husband watches a lot on TV and he got bored with the channels we had, so in October, we also ordered the TV and phone. The installation went smooth and they were extremely efficient. They always got in touch with me and have done well for us. It was an uncomplicated experience.

    I’ve been with Mediacom for 30 years. We had them at the other house but I transferred it to our current house. When Mediacom came in initially, the only channels were 13, 8 and 5 so it was a way to go. Over the years, we've had a lot of options of satellites to where they can individually put a receiver in the house as far as not being broadcast from a different place.

    Within the first 10 years I had it, they had a silver, a gold and a platinum program and on the top tier, everything was supplied. But now, prices have gone up and that was one thing I didn't like. In that time period, I had to drop things that I enjoy to fit my income although they had worked with us with that. When my grandkids came along, I went back up to TiVo and Wi-Fi in the house for them so I increased spending a little bit here in the last few years. Plus we changed our ways a little bit too. Since I got more time sitting around the house and watching TV, I’ve picked up more sports programs and the wife has picked up more of the old love stories.

    I’ve had problems through the years and Mediacom has always resolved them without much problem. I’ve learned things about my reception. We had some bad rainstorms this fall and it went out on all my TVs. I could tell that it was something in the main line rather than my line coming to the house. There was also one time when we had a two-week wait which was not acceptable as far as I was concerned but they’ve had trouble with employment and not having enough technicians. Some of the technicians are a little better than others but since they got the Wi-Fi and the TiVo system in, they seem to have expanded their employment base and hired quite a few more technicians who are getting better and younger. They’ve got more educated technicians now and there’s a marketplace for their services in the system now. They also give credit for the amount of time their service was out.

    However, one thing I wish they would have done over the years was kept up their interest in new lines because we have a lot of problems with the squirrels chewing holes. When they came through initially, they put up about an inch of aluminum wire piping with the lines inside it. Now, they’ve dropped to smaller lines with probably much insulation. They’ve improved things to where they’ve had to splice pieces in because of the vermins chewing holes in them when they’re walking across them. In general, Mediacom has done a real good job. I’ve had plenty offers to go to other networks but Mediacom has been mostly satisfying that’s why I stayed with them.

    We've got cable and internet service from Mediacom. Whenever I talk to their team, they always have an answer about what's going on. Three weeks ago, I had to have service down here. They had to trace some cable ends and they said that it's not the newest things and that they have changed in 16 years. But everything is fine on the internet. I watch TV whenever I have the time. And later on at night, I get on and look at different stuff on the internet. Overall, they're a pretty good company.

    Mediacom Cable has a package where I could get both the internet and the TV, and I got the internet with medium speed. I had a fantastic experience with them when they came out to my house to do the installation. The quality of their service has been very good and they work with their customers. I enjoy my TV but I cannot watch the higher channel which has HD TV. It has all kinds of line things and I have to watch it down in the lower channel. It has been going on ever since they put it in.

    We were pretty satisfied with Mediacom until now. Problem arose because we are about to move to Georgia, therefore, we need just four more days of service after billing cycle ends. I didn’t want to pay the whole month bill for just four days’ usage. When I called for the first time about this, I was told to just ignore the whole month bill, only to pay $12.92 at the counter when I return the equipment, it would be very fine if it works this way. I had kind of an uneasy feeling about this that I made the second call to confirm it, I was told that there were neither named Christina works there nor the note containing this information at first but eventually found the note after I raised my voice. When I demanded receiving the bill of $12.92, CS told me that since I called plenty of time in advance, monthly electronic bill should only reflect $12.92.

    Regardless the agreement above, I received the whole month bill today 11/17/2017, therefore, I made the third call. The manager, Michael, came on the phone a while later after I demanded to speak to him, just telling me that he sees the bill of $12.92 and the bill is already in the mail, therefore, I should receive it by 11/22/2017. When I told him that all I could see was a full bill of $140.43 online, he told me to ignore it and pay only $12.92 when I receive the new bill in the mail.\

    As soon as I told him that I would start recording this conversation, manager, Michael, told me that Mediacom doesn’t allow customer to record the conversation, therefore, he has to hang up the phone. I was going to use Mediacom continuously in another state, but this is out of the question now. Mediacom lies left and right to its customers. I will file a complaint through FCC and follow up all the way through. I encourage people to file a complaint through FCC. I was told by FCC that people who filed complaints, usually didn’t follow all the way through. I will follow up to the end of it for sure.

    On 11/18 I entered a review for this company. However Phil has went over and beyond to make me happy being their customer. I would recommend Phil to being a great controller of a situation. At this time Mediacom has done a lot more than the being. Would I still recommend them. That is still on hold at the moment.

    Original Review: Nov. 18, 2017

    I started with internet service with Mediacom not even 2 months ago. My internet has been offline for a total of 3 times. Now let me clarify what it means when it's offline. A tech has to come out and fix the modem because unplugging it isn't going to work. I lost internet service last Sunday, I called and they scheduled an appointment for me for this Sunday 11/19. I receive an email on Friday 11/17 stating that my appointment has been rescheduled for Friday and someone will be here between 5-7. I rushed home to nothing. I called again for someone to tell me that since I am located in a rural area that no tech is available and they do not have anything until Dec, 1. "Why can't you put my original date back?" I ask. She said because when I rescheduled the appointment they gave it to another person. Ummm I didn't reschedule this. You guys did. Long story short I have received my money back.

    The tech that came out and hooked up my triple play was very professional and very nice and very helpful. The only issue I have with my service though is I feel there should be more channels to choose from based on the amount it cost.

    My wife has a job to call on the internet and it has to load a lot of things so it has to have high speed. My son does a lot of gaming, too. We have Mediacom's internet service and the quality of it is very good. Their technicians came out to wire the system up. It was a three-person project, where one had to bury it in the ground, one had to run it across the road, and one had to bring it in the house. It was a drawn-out deal, but we got it done. They were excellent. There were some delays on the phone, and they did some things to satisfy us and scheduled people to get out there. They made some improvements to their service and it was a lot better getting the work done this time than 12 years ago.

    I went with Mediacom because of the cost. I called them and got somebody to set it up. I’m happy that we got internet and it’s great. It is way better than what we had before. And the representatives did an okay job. However, I’m a little disappointed with them now. I got 25 to 30 channels to choose from and they made it sound like a huge package that I got. But they're just the same channels doubled up and I get a bunch of Spanish channels, but I ain't Spanish. I felt like paying for a false presentation. I haven’t talked to any rep because the only thing they want is to upgrade me to another package which will cost me more money and probably getting me five more channels.

    Also, the installation was a nightmare. The technicians were supposed to be there between 1:00 and 5:00 but they never showed up. I finally called after 5:00 o’clock and I asked them where they at. They told me they were running late and I said, “I couldn’t get a phone call?” They told us that the company was supposed to call if they were running late but I didn’t get one. They showed up a half hour later and were there a couple of hours. It’s frustrating that I was sitting around waiting for them to show up. I have my own business and I was losing money the whole time.The timeframe should be narrowed down to within an hour or two. I called and told them I wanted to cancel right at that moment. My wife got back on the phone and talked to them. I got a discount of $20 or $40. She was more out of it about having cable than I was. Other than that, Mediacom's not too bad. I had and still recommend them. I just tell them what to expect.

    We live in an apartment and had Windstream for internet but we were very aggravated with them. Everybody in here has Mediacom and they were running a special, so we called and hooked up to them. I was confused at first but they explained everything in detail. We got the phone, internet and cable with them. The installer was great. I don’t get electronics as well as some younger people but he sat here and explained the remote to me with the TiVo. He took as much time as I needed. That was a great experience.

    If I’ve had to call, they come out and fix the problems right away. We had a couple issues where we’ve lost connection for a day but I’ve called in and they’ve given us that day for no charge. I also called them in once because somebody broke into the box outside the apartment building as somebody was trying to steal cable. We had to use our TV remote for the sound. They came the next day, got the connection back up and the lock is back. We’ve been really satisfied with Mediacom.

I got the internet and basic cable and the quality of their service has been excellent. Internet speed is sometimes slow but it may be because of the area. Mediacom takes care of my problems and I'd recommend them.

    I find that the price charged for your services is basically outrageous, your service department or whatever said that I had to get a different modem to get the internet, and it didn't play well with my router when I installed it, in order for my daughter to get on the net I have to reboot the modem on a regular basis. It's aggravating, but livable. On the other hand (my cable tv side that is) I find that the picture freezes on a regular basis among other irritating things, I attempt to watch a show that is from a channel I have subscribed to only to see that I need a subscription to it. Considering the price I pay for this, if I actually had a reasonable alternative I would not be getting services from Mediacom.

    Our internet service is horrible. It is high speed but only connects part of the time. EVERY time we have a service call the tech cuts and reroutes wires. They say the wiring that the previous tech did was done wrong. None of them agree on how things should be done. Because of this, IT DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY!!!

    Since I rent, I did not want to do a satellite but when I called the phone number on the Mediacom website to obtain the services, I was given a price higher than what was on the website. I was told that that price was not available in my area but supposedly it was because I had put my zip code into the website. I was also told that I would be sent a gift card for $75 within two weeks. I obtained the services because I was going to be offering work from home so I had to get internet. As a bonus for my kids, I decided to go ahead and bundle it with the cable as well. I have a friend/coworker who did the same thing but she went with more channels, TiVo and the whole shebang. Yet, she was given a lower monthly price. She was told that the price for the services depends on who you talk to and that's crappy.

    It's been over a month and neither of us have received our gift cards. I called Mediacom last week and was told that when you call over the phone to get the services, there is no gift card. It’s only when you order online. It was nothing that the rep could help with either. She put in the tickets to have this third party contact me but I've not had a contact back from them either. For some, the $75 gift card might be nothing but for me it’s something when I forked out just under $2005 to even have the services installed. Otherwise, I use the internet for my job and the service has been fine. I would refer them.

While it still cost us $35+ a month which I find a bit expensive to hold our account open while we are away for two months or more… I guess the alternative is to turn in equipment and have an installer come every time we become “snowbirds”.

    I have Mediacom internet service only because of past horrible service with their cable TV. The only reason I have them for internet is they are the ONLY one available. I was out of internet for a 10 day period while out of town. The first 3 days my son called and told me about it and when I called was told I would have to wait 7 days for a tech to come out. Then once restored it went out again after only 2 days. I called again and was told I would have to wait 5 days for a tech to come out to fix the problem. The problem was within the Media Com network.

    This is not acceptable service. And if it continues I will be calling the Illinois Commerce Commission and lodging a formal complaint. I had to call the office which is a major pain to reach due to a automated answering system and asked for a refund of 10 days and not offered either time by the office or tech a refund, so out of the 31 days of October I was without internet for 15 days. I am tempted to hook up to the local phone company for internet but will wait to see if this continues to happen. I would be pleased if I actually had a call from the main office and telling me of a refund, and that they would start having a tech available on a more timely situation, one week or longer is NOT ACCEPTABLE.

    Oh boy, I don't even know where to begin -- I have filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau and the FCC but here is my story: Back on October 15 I responded to an ad I had received saying that Mediacom Xtreme was available in my area. I called their toll free number and spoke to a gentlemen who confirmed that Yes, it was available at my address and would I like to go ahead and set it up? I said yes as the cost was 100 less per month than my current Dish Network bill and also offered a home phone. This was completed and the connection appointment scheduled for Thursday October 19 between 12 and 5. I took the day off from work and the tech finally showed up at 4:45 and in less than 5 minutes told me that a 'tap' needed to be installed but he would go ahead and schedule it for the following Saturday Oct 21.

    I agreed as I had already cancelled my Dish services for midnight of that night and figured a few days without services would be fine. I asked the Tech to have me called when the tap was completed, which was not done but I called customer service late Saturday afternoon and was told that yes it was done and we rescheduled my installation for Friday the 27th again between 12 and 5. Again the Tech showed up at 4:45 and was there for 5 minutes before saying the tap had not, in fact, been done and it would need to be scheduled as he did not see that a work order had ever been placed. I was a bit annoyed by this time but called customer service AGAIN and asked that this be done. I was assured yet again that it would be done and that John from the Plymouth office would call me on Monday to confirm. Yet again, no phone call so I called and was told that yes, the tap had been done (I didn't see one) and we were all set to install.

    At that point I requested that John call me to confirm or a tech come out when I was home to show me where but oh yeah, apparently there were no lines to my house for cable etc. Craig, a tech from Edenton, showed up at 6:00 on 10/31 walked around showed me the tap we would have to use which is across the street at another house and said he wasn't sure if we could use that one or not but he would talk to John and he would call me the next day. Nutshell, no call AGAIN. Customer service still tells me we are serviceable yada yada yada then I hear from Mediacom Support on Twitter that, nope, not serviceable. I am steaming by this point. I called again and spoke to a supervisor about this and asked for the Plymouth office's phone number (which is less than the length of a football field from my house mind you. I can see their front door from my porch.) and was told that their regional offices do not have one. Amazing.

    A communications company that does not offer a way to communicate with the local office? Anyway, at this point it had been 3 weeks with no services whatsoever, I was out several days of work and had paid an early cancellation fee to Dish Network based on what I was told would be fine. John was allegedly supposed to talk to the regional manager about getting me a reimbursement for the cost of reactivating my Dish Network (the 410 cancellation PLUS 200 to reconnect) and call me back--yet another week has passed with no word or communication from this man and I have communicated with Mediacom daily and am told the same thing over and over.

    They seem to desire to either escalate the situation or hope that I give up and go away, which I won't on general principle. As I said, I have filed formal complaints with the BBB and FCC regarding their unethical business practices and false advertising and am now continuing to wait. To anyone reading this review I would recommend that you RUN not Walk to the nearest satellite provider.

These are 81-2, 81-4, 81-6, 81-8, 81-10, 81-12; all other stations come in perfectly. The picture and sound are unintelligible on the 81 sequence channels. The problem is not fixed, so I am NOT satisfied.

    I had a problem with connecting to a web page due to the computer/internet "Resolving host" for up to a minute before finally going to the web page. I still have the problem occasionally which clears when the modem is restarted. Frankly, I'm tired of getting up and doing this several times a day.

    It all started when I first day I got their service. My internet keeps cutting on and off and when I check the speed it flows up and down. To make it even better every time I go into Mediacom/Xtream to get someone over here to fix it they just tell me it should be fine but when I actually contacted Mediacom/Xtream through phone they told me they’d fix it. So when I paid my bill they come over and said they fixed it but guess what. They didn’t. Right when he left it happens again. I just don’t wanna switch companies because my family has had them our whole life but it’s getting to the point to where I’m going to just drop off their router and go to someone else.

    I called customer service to add a new modem as my old one was cutting out and I was having dropped connectivity. The tech was able to add the new modem quickly and I was back up in 10 minutes. An hour later I received a phone call from a Mediacom employee inquiring about expanding my service due to the fact that I have used more than my max allowed Gb under my plan. He stated that he had talked to me earlier in the day, I informed him that I only had talked to the tech about the modem. He started listing the months that I had gone over and paid the extra fee and for a additional $$ amount I could upgrade so that I wouldn't have that problem going forward. I told him to send the information to my email so that I could review it. It was never sent.

    I've been with you guys for over 6 years my internet service between my house I'm currently in and the one that I moved from a year ago I've never had this money issues with my internet especially not being able to get it fixed in a timely manner. It's been 10 weeks now. It's been going in and out and it's still not fixed. When I decided to go ahead and switch from DirecTV over to Mediacom I ended up having to pay to get out of the contract that I didn't know I was in. That's not Mediacom fault. However I paid $130 to get out of my contract to have everything switched over to Mediacom for me not to have constant internet and TV access.

    For the past 10 weeks I've had people out of my house at eight or nine times. In the past 10 weeks it all started the night that you installed the TV and upgraded my internet system so he's been the whole entire time I've had it and it's still not taken care of. I did talk to someone today on the phone and they said that they would try to get to the bottom of the shoe and get it taken care of for me which is wonderful. But that's the same thing that I've been told for the past 10 weeks so hopefully you can be fixed soon and I won't have to worry about it again.

    Before we cancelled HughesNet internet (due to them not being able be compatible with our camera/security system), we went into our local Mediacom office located in Oskaloosa Iowa the beginning of September 2017 to make sure they could provide us with service. Our property had service with Mediacom prior to us buying the property. They stated they could provide us with cable, phone and Internet. Within a few days we received a box containing 5 receivers. It's now November 7th and we still have no service. I've called the main number for Mediacom multiple times and still no service. In the beginning I was told I'd get a call back within a day or so. I've been to the local office 4 times to ask what the status is and still have NO service.

    Last week I went in to office again. The representative called her supervisor and then told me that the supervisor who call me. It's been over a week and still no call. I DO NOT AND WOULD NOT EVEN GIVE MEDIACOM A 1 STAR. Customer service is the worst I've ever seen. I'll be going into office in about an hour and I bet they don't have an answer for me. One very important note, I feel like I am being held hostage by Mediacom since there are no other internet service providers in our area!

    Thank you Mediacom, and Consumer Affairs.

    Technical problems since I've had Mediacom!!! At least a dozen service calls, and when it's not corrected usually takes another week before they come back! Each service technician comes up with a different idea of what's wrong! Broken Promises!! Will be switching to DirecTV or Dish!

    We customer service out yesterday to view our internet and TV in bedroom... Last night did exact same thing (both issues). Randy called them and said if they are not here today to look at, he will be pulling it out. We waited 3 days the first time to get service and they wanted him to wait another 3 days and that was not going to happen... You will lose some business if someone is not out today to look at it and fix it... Thanks.

    When our Cable/Internet are being received properly (Signal Reception) all is well. However, of late we have been experiencing quite a bit of outages and downtime. These Outages are sporadic and Currently our Home Phone (**) is out, which is supplied via a Mediacom Cable Modem. Within the past couple of months, weeks, the Internet and cable TV have been down several times for short periods. This is very frustrating. Customer Service was notified last week approximately 11-02-2017 in regard to our Phone. We have been scheduled for Technical Repair on 11-11-2017. At present, Mediacom is our only option for Cable Service. We do prefer Cable over a Dish Service, however, we have AT&T Direct TV and Dish Network available.

    At this point the issue seems to be resolved. Things have been working well since Phil (Mediacom representative) and the technician he sent out worked on the issue. My only remaining concern is whether or not the internet connection will remain in good working condition, as that has been the issue in the past; it works fine for short and sometimes extended periods of time, and then works horribly. This time around, it seems to be much more stable, and I will report again if the earlier instability reoccurs. Should the connection remain stable, I will up my star rating more than I have already. Thanks.

    Terrible company. I have been paying them money for over a decade, and I still have continual problems. They never truly resolve anything. I haven't been able to login to my router in years. Every time "device unavailable". Support then asks you to reset the modem, never does a thing except that often the modem then won't reconnect to the internet, and then I have that problem. I have had continual speed problems. They have replace my modem no less than 4 times in the last 6 months, with never a change in the terrible quality. Speed's great for a while, then terrible, then good, then terrible. They have replaced every wire in my house, and every connector, same crap. Their techs come out and do who knows what. It works for a while, and then back to the same crap connection.

    I can't get anywhere with them. I play nice, no luck. I gripe and complain, no luck. I don't even call them anymore because it is pointless, frustrating, and a waste of time. THEY NEVER RESOLVE ANYTHING. Same problems for over a decade. Every once in a while, I will get a manager assigned. The last one gave me his name and number, then never answered any calls or returned messages. Gave up on that **. One would think that after spending likely over $25,000 on their services over the last decade+, I would get some service, but oh no. If they weren't a monopoly, I'd have left years ago. The entire company can rot.

    We pay $69.99 FOR INTERNET ONLY SERVICE. Very good reliable service. I received a marketing call late last week offering me 50+ channels for $10.00 more per month, including one HD cable box. Told her I couldn't speak then to please call back. They called again today to offer me the same pkg. As I reviewed the offer with the rep she told me there would be a $29.00 installation fee. That is fine, I told her. Upon reviewing the channel lineup she told me my total per month would be $112.99. I asked her what happened to the $10.00 per month offer? She said with my internet pkg I didn't qualify for that anymore. I said this is the 2nd call I had received from them offering me the $10 deal and that this sounded like bait and switch and is a scam.

    She got really defensive with me and told me that was not the case. I told her, "Let me get this straight; your company has called me twice now offering me this $10 per month cable rate and suddenly I don't qualify for such an offer and it will instead cost me over $40 more per month instead of $10?" She said, "Yes that is correct." Again I told her that this is a scam. Don't you have my account info? Didn't you know that I "would not qualify for your offer?" So give me the $10 deal. "I cannot do that, I am just a phone rep." Again, I said, this is a scam and hung up on her. Is it too much to ask that a company honor their offers? I don't think so.

    We’ve used Mediacom forever and I’ve been a customer for as long as they’ve been in Jefferson City. We signed up for it way back and we haven’t changed. But I can’t watch TV half of the time because there’s nothing on and I had to cancel my NFL package again this year as they charged me for it. My internet works great now that they finally got it fixed after it had problems a couple of years ago. A guy came out and climbed up the pole back here and fixed everything. The reps were fine on the phone but the cost is expensive and outrageous. My bill used to be $165, but now it’s $190 a month so I’m looking around to get something cheaper. My son and daughter have DirecTV or DISH for less than $100 a month for internet and TV, and they get way more stations than they can record, so I’m considering doing that. With Mediacom, I can’t afford to put the record shows because that would be another $5 per TV.

    I wish Mediacom would reward their old customers because that would be nice and all companies should consider that. It’s really annoying when you get penalized for being a long time loyal customer instead of getting rewarded for it. That’s my only complaint with Mediacom. Otherwise, it’s been great and I would recommend Mediacom to a friend if they can afford it. If they get Mediacom now, they’re going to pay $29 a month for six months because it’s cheap whenever they offer it to people, which I get, since they’ve got to have new customers. Meanwhile, I’m paying big bucks and every TV I add is more and they change all the stations to 79.1, 79.2, and I hate those. But then, on a good TV with the boxes that you pay for, you don’t have that. You have stations which are way better but more expensive too.

The repairman who lives in Butler came a few weeks back and I told him that it could be my televisions but he said that it’s on their end. Some other repairman worked outside but we still have problems. I called them the other day and the rep asked me about the kind of box we had, but I told her that we didn't have a certain kind. So, she did something up there and that corrected the problem for that time. They were also having a flood of calls that day so I assumed others are experiencing this, too.

    Mediacom responds whenever I call and I have no problem with their willingness to try to get the issues corrected. I have no idea whether it's atmospheric conditions or what's changed in the well but the cable service has not been good a lot of times. I also felt that maybe they could take some off on my monthly bill since I'm not getting full satisfaction. I want to stay with Mediacom and the company's been alright but the service has not been fully satisfactory. I hope they can get this matter straightened out because I feel like I'm paying for the service I'm not getting.

    Mediacom was the only option available where my house is located at. Plus, it was in my price range. There was also CenturyLink, but they weren't an option for me. I worked with the installer who sold it to me and helped me get through the process. It was a fantastic experience. I'm supposed to be at 200 megabytes at 2000 gigs a month service. We needed internet because my fiance does bookwork from the house. We also use it for Netflix.

    I install internet so I know how the game is played. The speed varies quite a bit during the day. The highest speed I've received was 74, that was at midnight with a low usage time. There was one time when the connection was so slow, it wouldn't even allow me to do a speed test. I wish they could do something to make it closer to what people are paying for. I've also had to reboot the router a couple of times, but you need to do that every once in a while anyway. Other than that, everything is working fine.

    First let me start off by saying I do a lot of work from home and this work consists of a lot of file/photo uploads. I have to have fast reliable internet. So when I recently moved I ordered the largest package available, 1 gbps (1,000 mbps). First my install was 2 days late. Second my speeds are only 100 mbps (a tenth of what I'm paying for). Third I have had to restart my modem every morning, when I wake up there is no internet access until after the restart. The best speed test I have done so far was right after the service was installed and nothing was connected other than my PC and I pulled 189 mbps. Upload is always between 6-8 mbps (upload is what I need the most).

    In our town, Mediacom is the only company that does cable and internet besides Direct or Dish. We've had them in the past, but after two weeks of having them, we got shut off and got told that we owe them $300, which we didn't. That's when we went to DirecTV. We then had DirecTV for two years but our trees, as well as our neighbor's trees, grew and we had to leave them. We then went back to Mediacom. I went to their office in Oskaloosa, because that lady in there seemed very knowledgeable at the front desk. I talked to her about our experience and she was understanding and courteous to me. I had a great experience with her. She figured out what was going on. We did have a backfill and we paid that to get it hooked up. I don't like going to the Des Moines office because they were very rude in the past.

    We got the internet and telephone. I don’t have the cheapest plan because I need a little more internet than what the cheapest plan offers. The TV is usually on from the time we get up until the time we go to bed and my three grandchildren who live with us use the internet for gaming. I also love their call features. The guys who did the installation were great. They told me that they can't hook up the TV in my back bedroom until I have a box. They didn’t have one, so they had to order it and I had to wait on that. My internet also went in and out, so I called them and they came back out. They told me they don't know what's happening. Two years before they ran a cable across my driveway and they didn't use that. Another man had to come on a Sunday and he dug a trench from my trailer to my pole, and they had to directly wire up my TV with a separate line because something about the one line wouldn’t do both. I then had TV.

    I called them again and told them that I was getting pixely pictures on my TV. My son hooked it up, so I have it in the wall instead of out, and my TV was going in and out. A guy came out again and he hooked the TV to the box and told us that there might have been a chink in the wire. I don’t think there was a chink in my line and up to this day, we are getting pixely pictures at times.

    I've had Mediacom about seven years and I have enjoyed every bit of it. I'm moving in a senior home and most of them had Mediacom. They said that it was good. When somebody just wanted to open the door downstairs to come up, they rang my number up here and I can just punch the 9 and let them in so I don't have to go down there. It goes through the Mediacom. I'm 87 so once in a while, it will get mixed up and I don't know how to put it back. Mediacom comes over and they're just about six blocks away from here. I've got the Christian stations, the Fox stations, and the local stations. But I don't like Starz channel at all. My problem is that the bill keeps going up and soon I'm going to have to get it down. It was $126 and now they jumped $139. Other than that, I really appreciate Mediacom. I had a previous company before and I have been with them for about nine years but they weren't as prompt as Mediacom.

    The first time I tried signing up with Mediacom, the installer never came out and never returned my calls. I tried about 5 times and I simply gave up. The second time, I called and they set up right away, so it's gotten better. The installers came and did the installation for half hour. They went through everything and said that if I have any problems, I could call them. I never had any problems with my internet after that. The internet was fast enough for my daughter to play games. I also used it to download and watch movies quite a bit and internet shopping too. But before, I would have internet service then I wouldn’t. I would have to reset the modem and the internet would kick back on. But now the internet wouldn't freeze up like before.

    I rented the modem from them and they charge $5 a month. They don’t recommend buying your own modem to replace theirs. It would save money in the long run. I will be disconnecting my service with them because Mediacom is not offered in the place I'm moving to. The company I'm going now recommended what modem I should buy versus renting one from them.

    Also, I used CenturyLink before and they left me a box that I could use to send my modem back. With Mediacom, they didn't leave me anything. Now, I got to try to figure out where I have to bring the modem to or call them and see where I could ship it. If it came with a return box, I could simply box it up, drop it off to UPS when I’m done with their service. Now, they want me to deliver it downtown tomorrow. I’m 20 miles away from there and that makes things a little bit easier on the return end.

    If you plan to add cable to a new build like we did... expect to wait 2-3 months to get that service connected. They were quick to add the service, but neglected to listen to the part about it being a new build on our existing property and that this would need new wires ran to the building, etc. The service guy showed up exactly on time, but couldn't do anything because the outside line had never been established. After over an HOUR AND A HALF on the phone with at least SEVEN different people, a fella gave us his name (Michael **) and number to call on Monday and assured us he would take care of it. The number works, we left a message, and no call back. Shocker. So we called yet again... and were told about a week or two and that someone would be calling us. No call... so we called AGAIN! This time we were told it would be 2-3 months.

    So now we have elderly parents staying in our guesthouse without TV for entertainment, not to mention they also can't use the internet or the phone either! We called 3 weeks ahead of their move-in date. We have repeatedly asked for management level assistance and always refused. We are beyond upset at the poor customer service. I'm in Quality and can help them identify their problem real quick. All the initial rep was concerned about was getting the new account-- those reps shouldn't get credit for it when something like this occurs. They should be reprimanded to pay attention to detail.

I've bought a brand new modem, had it for over a year now and have had the same problems I had before. I have no other choice for internet in my area. If I had a choice I would have left this review. When the service works there is no comparison. But when it doesn't then still I don't have a choice. I've had several techs out to the house to check wiring and nothing has been found wrong with the wiring. Just got off the phone and they said they would send a tech out. It's pointless, by the time the appointment is scheduled a couple hours later the service is back working.

    I've had Mediacom for so many years and I've always said it is the best overall. We had no problems for a long stretch of time and I thought customer service seemed better. But lately, I've been questioning that. I had a problem getting a hold of somebody or getting things done in a timely manner. We have high-speed internet but things were slow so I recently called and after checking, the rep said we have 60 speed. They told me that when I ordered that, that was the highest speed but that was now the slowest speed. Nobody from Mediacom has ever bothered to let me know that there are higher speeds now and I'm still paying for the highest speed.

    The speeds were 60, 100 and 200 so I said I would raise it to 100. Things were not working any differently though so I called back and they said I'm going to need the 3.0 modem because the 2.0 I had doesn't support the higher speed. They sent it and my granddaughter hooked it up but then I realized that nobody had said anything about the old modem. I called back and they directed me to the office on Ingersoll but I didn't want to do that. Nobody said anything about that to me before and it was getting to be a lot of work. Then they said they would have someone come by and pick it up.

    We were still having problems so I called and they had to send the tech out. They made an appointment for the 26th but on the 25th, I got a phone call from a tech saying he was on his way but I wasn't home. My husband was but I wanted to be there because my husband doesn't deal with those things. I told him to go ahead anyway since my granddaughter was there and between the two of them, they should be able to give him what he needed. He was in and out of the house but he didn't really say anything about what he was doing. He asked a few questions and then said it was fixed. The next time we tried to use our landline, it didn't work and my husband apparently didn't check everything out before the technician left.

    Mediacom tried resetting it and sending a signal but that didn't work. They couldn't get anyone back out until after the weekend which what was not acceptable. It wasn't fixed so we should have been top priority but unfortunately, that was not the way it worked. We lived with the problem for a while longer which was frustrating. My husband is disabled and he would not get a cellphone. He's got to have a phone in here or I can't be gone and I had to be gone that weekend. I talked to three people until finally, I got someone to try to send a signal again and it went through that time. The phone started working but that was after a few days of going back and forth with them.

    The last time I had someone out, I told them I didn't want someone that they contract with and that they pay a lot of money to come in but has no vested interest in the business. I wanted someone that works for Mediacom and Lucas was great and very personable. We really liked him and he explained everything to us very well this time. Our dual router wasn't getting the signal it needed to support the faster speed. He unhooked something and it started communicating with the stronger signal. However, there was a big lack of communication in Mediacom too. I had told Lucas that we didn't have any paperwork from the last time to show him what the technicians did and he said that would fall on the system. He looked it up and apparently, there were no notes so the next tech had no clue what the first one did.

    The technician also said there were a lot more speeds than 100 and 200 and that what I'm told depends on who I get on the phone. I'm one notch above the lowest speed, thinking I was right in the middle but not knowing that there were higher speeds and no one ever talked to me about what would be a good speed. Another thing he told me was if you have an older computer, it doesn't matter what speed you get. He said if your computer is more than five years old, it's typically not going to support a higher speed. That wasn't mentioned to me and those are things you don't think about.

    They're short of help too. Every single time I've had to call Mediacom, I hear, "We're experiencing high volume of problems in your area." Sometimes, they don't even take the call at all. I had an old card from somebody from long ago when my mom was having problems and I used that card. The call went into a local training area and I finally got a new customer service number where you could actually talk to somebody, instead of hearing, "We'll call you. Leave your name and number and we'll call you back. Or go online, you can always access us online." We couldn't do that since we were having internet problems sometimes.

    They really gouge you on the price too. I don't like that they make you stay for two years and raise the price the second year. Then they put you through the loyalty department and then retention, and sometimes you can get your price down depending on what the offer is but sometimes you can't. It depends on how hard I'm willing to fight that day and what I can get for my husband typically. I can't afford it anymore and this is my disabled husband's entertainment but I don't want to give them my sob story every time.

    So recently, I've been wondering if there's anything that cost a lot less. They would even get new customers on board but what these people don't realize is, in two years, they're going to be paying almost double the price. Every year you're with them, the price goes up, no matter what. On the other hand, the customers that have been with them for many years, paid on time every time and have stuck with it through thick and thin should have an incentive to stay with Mediacom and not have to pay an arm and a leg every month for the service.

    I have had their service for a little while now. A number of weeks ago, the cable and internet just stopped working. I called them up, the best they could do is send a technician out a week later? Really, a week without service? After scheduling the appointment, all the guy wanted to do is upgrade my service. I stated I don't want anything changed until they fix it. For the next few days, I get calls asking if I want to cancel my appointment as if it magically fixed itself. The day before the appointment, someone does come out and fix my neighbor's house line which seemed to fix ours. I cancel the appt. then.

    A couple days later it rains and everything is gone again. Call them up, and it's another week to wait. They stated I would get a call to make sure I was home. I verified the number was my cell and added my wife's cell just in case. The guy stated he would put me on the waiting list and if someone else cancelled, they would call to see if I could take it earlier. Fine. Again, I get calls asking if I would like to cancel my appointment. That is very annoying! A couple days later I get a text that my appointment was moved from Saturday to Friday night. I wasn't asked if I could even do that but I could make it work so I did nothing.

    The day finally comes for the appointment. My wife and I are waiting around for a call. It's 30 minutes into the allotted time and I answer a call from a coworker and in that call I get another call. I didn't get to answer it but it leaves a voicemail. It's the automated message stating my service was cancelled. WHAT THE... I received no prior call to the automated one. I call Mediacom back. The guy hangs up on me after I wait several minutes to talk to anyone which makes me irate. I know he could hear me because he was answering me. I call back, and hear from both the tech and the supervisor that they cannot change it or route the tech back because their "system will not allow it". If it was before 3pm they could but everyone leaves at 3 and they have no way to do anything after that. ARE YOU ** kidding me?

    What kind of company has no way to contact their technicians after 3pm and state they cannot help me. He states they can schedule another appointment a week later. At this point I am livid and I have never felt this way about any company. In the back and forth, the supervisor states I got three calls. The third being the automated one. I stated I did not. He states they can prove it. BS as he didn't have my account info.

I know the bills are high but you get what you pay for sometimes. Plus, when I have a problem, they try to fix it. I just call in to Richmond and they get right into it.

    We've been with Mediacom for 45 years. Joe and I are both older and we can't do a lot so we spend a lot of time watching TV. We use the cable at 10:00 in the morning and sometimes I turn on the news in the evening. We have the movie channels though we don't need them but we have to take it with the group we're with. Plus, there's music channel and the upper and lower shows too. Their customer service and technicians have been very polite and have answered whatever questions I have. The technicians also come as fast as they can if something goes wrong. But sometimes, I don’t like that it takes them a week to respond. But our experience with Mediacom has been great and I'd recommend it to any friend.

    I had both the cable and internet installed by Mediacom. I had a choice between them and someone else when we moved. That someone else was going to charge me $30 a month and I figured that was a no-brainer. The sales team of Mediacom was pretty straightforward. I was a previous client and I wanted to know what the charge was going to be to transfer. Everything was going to stay the same. Obviously, I had to pay an install fee but that was going to be the same between both cable companies.

    When the tech came, he didn't know what he was going to do. It was unfortunate for his sake because it took him a long time and threw off his schedule so, I'm not sure why he wasn't informed, but he did a fine job. And then trying to sync everything and have just one remote, we had to get somebody else out here to help with that. Also, I'm not very happy with some of those people that they employ. They're fairly stupid and their stupidity is very frustrating and the runaround that I got. On the other hand, when I call in for tech support, those people are able to help me and they're on the ball. I recommend Mediacom. There are a lot of people who have bad thoughts about them. But in the big picture, I have no complaints about them.

    I've been with Mediacom for years, and ever since they have been charging $10 month. I have the family deal and it's awfully expensive for no more than what they got going. I spend all my time flipping through the channels and the cable's fine most of the time. Once in a while, it acts up - it had some interference. I don't know what was going on but it seems to have been straightened out. That's one of the reasons I stayed with them. With DirecTV, every time it thunders, it goes out. When I was at Ludlow, whatever Natalie had down there was always out. There's not much on Mediacom though. They took all my soap operas off, so I hardly watch. I watch The Doctors in the morning and then at night, maybe from 7:00 to 11:00. All-in-all however, it's mainly good.

    I switched from Dish to Mediacom TV service. I already had Mediacom cable. The company offered a promotion saying I had three months to evaluate the switch and if during that time I was unhappy, they would cancel the service and refund me the money I had paid them. It started off poorly, which should have given me a clue what I was in store for. Juan, a contract installer came to do the install. He said he had worked at Dish before so he knew what wires to connect and what wires to disconnect.

    He also shared that I was one of the last customers he was doing an install for because he was going to work elsewhere. At the conclusion of the install he promptly left saying that Mediacom pays him a flat rate for each install so he only has so long for each install or he loses money. When he left the two TV/Tivo sets were working. My wife, who is a teacher, went to her computer to submit grades and learned that we had no internet service. I called Mediacom who said they would submit a service order to get it back in operation but could not guarantee when it would occur. As I recall, the installer, Juan, did return later that evening and made the repair to get the internet operating.

    Within a week, we were without internet again and our Tivo also quit working. When I called in for repair I was told it would be 5 or 6 days before a tech would be available to make the repair. The repair was scheduled and they required a 4 hour window of time for them to be there. Either 8-noon or 1-5 were my choices. On the day of the repair, the technician called my cell phone as they are required to do 15 minutes before they were to arrive. My wife was home but when I did not answer due to not hearing the phone ring (I work in a noisy environment), the repair was canceled.

    The tech did call, but did not leave a message. I tried the number on my phone and it went to Mediacom service who said they were sorry but if my call was not answered, the tech is not obligated to leave a call back number because they use their own personal cell phones. I made another appointment with plenty of harsh criticism for the policy and procedures Mediacom uses. I informed the service person that my wife had stayed home that afternoon just so she would be there when the tech arrived. The next time the appointment was scheduled, it was a repeat of the previous issue. This time I heard the phone ring and by the time I moved to a quiet place to answer, the tech had hung up. By now, we had been without service for more than a week and we had only had the system less than a month.

    I stressed my frustration one more time with the service person making the appointment schedule. I told her that someone would be at the home the entire time the Mediacom tech needed to make the repairs. Once again, I missed the call and this time the tech left a curt message saying he heard that I was upset that he did not leave a message, so here is my message. "I called but you didn't answer. Goodbye." "No phone number, no I'll stop by your house to see if anyone is there." Not one bit of consideration!!!

    Finally, the tech showed up and got the internet and Tivo working. He looked at the installation that was done in our basement and commented that he was going to put in for us to have a rewire because many of the wires were very old and that he felt that was the problem. That has been two months ago. Since that repair, I have had at least 3 additional service calls where components provided by Mediacom have failed and needed replaced. In each case, these were not new parts being installed, but they were components they had on their truck from some other customer. I don't know about you, but when someone finds a used part on the truck, it doesn't seem to me that it guarantees the repair will last.

    On October 5 or 6 I called once again to inform them that the repair they did two or three weeks prior has left me without a tv in my bedroom. Today, October 10 they are supposed to come fix it. I'm waiting for my call and staying out of noisy areas just so I don't miss it. At the time I was signing up for this service, I also signed up to have two other properties I own converted to this and boy am I glad I called to put them on hold.

    One of the properties is a rental home for vacations and I can only imagine how angry guests would be if their dream vacation did not have TV or internet service. Since the conversion to this service, we have been without TV or internet or both for more than a month. In every case, the repair could be fixed in less than 20 minutes. I would be embarrassed to be associated with a company that treats its customers as poorly as I have been treated.

    We have our cable, phone, and internet through Mediacom, but we had some problems with the internet. We weren't really aware that we could have issues due to the size of our house and the range of the WiFi. They recommended that we get a range extender, but we didn't do it. They've had to change out our router or modem a couple of different times. And the first time, we had a good connection, but we had a poor connection the second time. We asked if we could go back to the other one, but they said we couldn't because it's the same. For some reason, they still ended up replacing it and it works a little better now. So, it's a matter of who you get.

    When the techs come out, we want them to know something and to be able to fix our issues. We've had a few techs who weren't experienced, and they recommended we get electricians because they thought our electricity had issues. They didn't competently answer the questions we asked. They need to apprentice with somebody for more than two years. The first one they sent was some young guy who doesn't know anything. He didn't even know how to bring a ladder and he was standing on the old modem to look at the wires. And it was right after they changed the modem for the first time when the phone wouldn't work. Then they sent a senior guy who got it working. So it's like there's no staff to come help when you have a problem. But other than that, we're satisfied with Mediacom.

    Mediacom offered me a decent package deal that I could afford. However, it was really flubbed up the first time when I placed the order. The account wasn’t set up correctly. When the guy came out to set it up, I didn’t have all my equipment when I placed the order. It was a bad deal and it was really confusing. The first equipment that they sent me was okay, but they were supposed to send me two, one for the upstairs bedroom and one for downstairs. But when I got the equipment I only had just what they set up down here, the modem and the TiVo. I had to call back again and get another box in. So, they said, “Well, we’ll give you one box and then the second box you’ll have to rent.” I said, “Okay. I’m good with that.”

    I had to call the guy back out again the second time to set up my second room. I fixed the order for three rooms, but I only got two. So, I had to reorder my equipment, wait for it to come in the mail, and had to have the guy come back out that Friday and get it hooked up. I also got the phone because it was a lot cheaper doing the bundle. The last time I did that, I didn’t do the bundle. I just got internet and the TV, and it was more expensive. But the phone that I bought (brand new from Walmart) that goes into the modem keeps getting this phone call from Rochelle, New York. I don’t even have a clue and I just got the phone. I don’t know how they would just keep calling this number. It’s just all crazy.

    When I went down to pay my bill, they wanted to charge me $160. I told them I was not paying them that. That wasn’t the agreement. Because they screwed up my order, they were supposed to make the adjustments in the computer, so the first payment I paid was $44.63 and my second payment for the end of this month is supposed to be $77. They put late charge fees on me when I had already called ahead of time and made arrangements for my bill. They weren’t aware of it because none of that was in the computer.

    Ever since I’ve had their services, it’s just been a flip flop. When you set up an order, you should be able to talk to the same person that set up the order. But every time I tried to call back and talk about my account, I go through seven or eight different people about my account. And everybody gave me something different. There is lack of communication. Everything was set up wrong. And nobody had any clue of what I was talking about because there was nothing recorded in the computer. It's really frustrating. It's all screwed up and I am really disappointed with the services. I still got it because I wanted some cable, but I am not happy at all. I’ve never experienced so much difficult in my life for trying to get some cable hooked up. Other than that, as far as the installation, the guy who came and set it up was all great and dandy.

    I just bought my home in Hahira, GA. In my community, Mediacom is the only high speed service provider, currently. Before starting service with them, I read up about them since I had never heard of this company before. The negative reviews had me ready to find someone else BUT there isn't anyone else... yet. They came on time to start my services. All I wanted was internet. I had to do my order over the phone because online, they will charge you for a modem even if you select that you have your own. So over the phone I let the agent know that I had my own modem, when the installer came out we connected my own modem. Two weeks later, I get a modem in the mail. The next day I took it to their office in Valdosta, GA and returned it.

    Upon starting the services, they make you aware that there does be down times in the middle of the night because they use that time to upgrade and repair their networks. I had no problem with that since my household is sleep. I bought my NEW construction house in May 2017, Mediacom put in NEW cabling in the beginning of June 2017. My community, city of Hahira and parts of Valdosta has had complete service lost at least 5 times from May till now in October.

    AT&T informed us that they will have their fiber network ready in our area in about Jan '18. The whole community is looking forward to this so that we can ditch Mediacom. We have people in our community who are online students, work from home like my wife and to have a break in services as often as it happens with Mediacom is ridiculous. I have the Mediacom App on my phone. It works VERY well! Every time there is an outage, the App informs me that Mediacom is having service issues!

    My home is FULLY wired from modem to router to every PC. When it's working, I get every ounce of speed that I pay for. For that they do deserve their 1 star. Because they go out so much I have to pay for a DSL account from AT&T which gives me 8 MB which is only set up as a "backup" for when Mediacom goes down. When they go down, they're down for HOURS close to a WHOLE day! For someone who works from home, that's a job killer! Since being here in this part of GA, anybody who I've met who is also serviced by Mediacom has basically the same thing to say. This company has WAY too many outages!

    We liked what Mediacom offered us and got TiVo for all four TVs in the house. Our interaction with their sales team was a mess, though, because there were three different supervisors that told us three different things. Laura told us that our first bill was going to be $181 dollars but we got our first bill as $297 dollars. I didn't understand it. They said the reason our bill was so high is that we had to pay a month in advance. They should have told us that we were going to have that high of a bill. We were very unhappy about that. It’s a blow when you’re not expecting it financially, but we knew we didn’t have a choice but to pay it.

    When their technician came, he only had three TiVos on his truck, so he had to come back to install the 4th one. The whole installation took about a week. We love the system, except for when we turn the TV on in the living room, it changes the channels on the bedroom TV. I told the technician about it and all he told me to do was that I always have to reset the box. So, that’s a pain in the butt. We’ve been with Mediacom now for about a month and a half, and the experience is fine but they need to learn to be honest with people about their monthly bills.

    We were contacted by a sales representative unsolicited. She called us. Claimed she had a deal for us because we'd been such long time good customers. The plan she sold us didn't exist. The first technician to come out was very unfriendly. Didn't. Ring the equipment the saleswoman offered. Technician had no interest in helping us solve the problem and left. He was there 20 minutes, maybe. Spent a long long time on the phone waiting to speak to a human only to be told the package we were sold didn't exist, almost in a mocking tone like "how could you be so stupid to think you could get that for that." Since we'd gone to all the trouble we decided to give the BiG package a try and have TiVo in every room.

    A week later another technician comes out. This one was very nice and really the only representative we'd had any pleasant interaction with. He did the best he could but he could never get the TiVo equipment to work. He said it might be old wiring. We didn't really want all of that stuff and to spend so much money every month so we opted to cancel the order and just keep our high speed internet that we have always had. It is very disappointing for Mediacom to employ dishonest sales associates who sell things who do not exist and then use high pressure sales tactics to convince people to upgrade. We never went looking for an upgrade. They called us with false offers.

    Poor service installation, installed incorrectly. When they were to return they made a call. I grab my phone but by the time I answered it it was too late. I immediately called them back and told them to go ahead and come and they refused to come. Constant problems with losing signal and service.

    So we keep having internet issues, be it slow downs or just being completely disconnected. We pay a lot for gig service, but it's just not reliable. If they could just improve up that, it'd be great. It also doesn't seem much faster than the slower speed we had before.

    I have had nothing but problems since I started with Mediacom. Very disappointed with the service. Started off with the actual set up on the phone. I called back to ask about other deals and your reps are rude. The day of my set up of internet went ok. Employee set it up and he was friendly. I had to have a tech back because of bad wiring. I received 2 confirmation calls of which I clicked the number to verify I still wanted the service. No one showed up and I was told that I had put the service request on hold and didn't take the call from the tech. I never received/nor showed a missed call from the tech.

    I was furious and got no resolution from supervisors when I called Mediacom. Was told they would have to reschedule. When I flatly refused to accept that was told they would be there sometime during the day. This total disrespect for a customer interfered with me working a few hours and getting other various chores done. Most importantly it was imperative to get this fixed asap to keep my 2nd job. Last I am still waiting for a bill or letter with a customer number. I can't even get into online account. I get no help from your reps. I find the service works well but to be honest there is nothing I really like about Mediacom.

    There were questions about my bill Mediacom could never answer. When I hooked up with them I told them I wanted a small package, just for news because we work and we only had a little bit of time at night when we get home from work and then we go to bed. It started out as a small package and then after a year the bill jumped. From $113 it went up to $120, $130, $140 and I was like, "Whoa." We work at Walmart and we are on a base income and we have to watch our money. We locked it in and the lowest they could find was $113. I said, "Let's lock it in for two years."

    After we locked it in at $113 it started going up $5 a year so I called. I paid my bill every month and I asked them, "Why do I have another $5 on you?" "Well, the telecasting. We don't have any control of that." I locked it in for a $113, I don't see why I have to keep paying them. The next thing I knew every month it starts going up. For the month of August I got my bill. It was $150 and I was like, "Now, why am I paying this high?" I said, "My contract doesn't end until the 22nd of this month, why do I have such a big bill?" The rep said it was a late fee." I said, "$8 for late fees so tell me why it jumped from $136 to like a $157?" I said, "Okay, $137 plus $8 is what? Now explain where the rest of that $157 is." I'm not stupid and where that $157 is coming from she couldn't tell me.

    I can understand it was late two days. We get paid every two weeks. The bill was due on Monday and I didn't get my check until Thursday. One month my internet jumped. I said, "You know what, I don't go for that extra speed. If I would have jumped it, I would have called you personally. I get on internet, I do Facebook, or I order something online and then I get off. I don't do games and I don't need that extra speed. I'm happy with what I have. I wanted the price." I was a good customer for three years and I wanted to be treated just as anybody else. Do I have to lie to them and tell them I have a business to keep my internet down? Because it seems to everybody I had to talked to, "Well, I got the business package." I just wanted the small little package.

    I asked about the final bill and I said, "You know what, if I disconnect today, what would I have to pay for the final bill? They replied "We don't send those out." Then I was really frustrated, "So my bill, I have not used it for four months, so what are you talking about?" She said, "$98." I can deal with that $98. I bought a SmartStream box for $400 and a $100 antenna and it's not even half of what I spent a year on Mediacom. I'm also going to switch from Mediacom Internet to Frontier in town for $31.

    There were no fiber optic companies in the area yet and the other charter didn't fly in the area. Mediacom was the best option and they provide much faster speed than DSL, so I went with them. I got their 60 meg internet service. I already had phone and TV services because I had to get these services for my grandparents, and they had me account for the TV service at one point. The sales reps treated me nicely and got everything set up quickly, and the service went smoothly. The installation was nice and the equipment was put together quickly. I told the installer that I wanted the modem to go and he drilled a quick hole in the floor, popped the cable through, and he was ready to go.

    It was cool on the internet. I played games and used a VPN to get into stuff at work since I work in an IT company. In that neighborhood, the quality of service was good.

I liked the person who usually comes but he quit. Quality-wise, the service is good but I don’t like it if they go offline from 1:00 in the morning until 8:00 the next morning.

    We’ve always had cable with Mediacom for as long as we’ve lived here. Then we had internet from different companies and I switched it as well as my phone over to Mediacom so I’ll have one bill to pay and I don’t have to send it to a bunch of different places. But I had a confusing experience with their sales reps when I tried to get all that bundled together. I called and called, and they just kept scheduling to come over but they never showed up. Finally, one of their reps told me that if I called and didn’t make arrangements with the same person I talked to, I won’t get the same price the next time I call. That’s what happened because I got different quotes each time I called.

    Then their guy came in for the installation. He was a sweetheart and would not leave until we had the TV working. But we couldn't get the one in the living room to work so he said he needed to go get somebody else to come help him because he wasn’t sure what was going on. He was gone for half an hour and came back with another guy. But I got it to work before they arrived and I showed them what I did when they walked in the door. They were super awesome. The installer also told us to let them know immediately if there were any changes because it was something they had done.

    I like Mediacom’s service and the stuff they provide most of the time. But when the fan blows or if you spit on your dish, it can take your TV out. Also, at first we had a lot of stuff with our package and it was only a little over $100. But now we have this regular cable bundle which included a kid's program, internet, and my phone, at $186 a month. I know we have Dream TV but it still shouldn’t be $186. The prices are going up and no matter what we do, it doesn’t seem to change the price. We disconnected about every program we had, though we can’t pull the kid’s one. We're also ready to unhook our phone because we have cellphones and our house phone doesn’t work half the time.

    So I’m not happy with our bill. Right now I’m scratching at straws because we're a month behind on our bill and I don‘t know how it happened. We've been behind a few times but never for a whole bill. We're on a fixed income and we figure everything we owe into our bills, split it down the middle and try to make sure we get everything paid. We’re struggling to get our cable paid off and every month we try to figure out what bill we’re going to pluck a few dollars off of so we can try to pay our cable. This month, we didn’t have the money to do it so I called and talked to Mediacom. They said that as long as we pay our bill before the 12th of next month, they’ll keep us hooked up so we have to pay it to remain with them. Then somebody called and told me that they don’t do that any longer, but I told them that I talked to a supervisor who said they did.

    Every once in a while, I’ll get somebody at Mediacom that won’t work with me. They should never ever hang up on me when I'm arguing a point and I’ve had that happen several times. It’s my right as a customer to get out what I want to say and they’re supposed to listen to me complain. Otherwise, they’re in the wrong job. It’s always been women that have hung up on me and that pisses me off. And it infuriates me to never get the same persons back even if I know their names. I also don’t like the wait time. When I call, they’d say I have to wait for two to five minutes, then it became five to 10 minutes. Then it was five to 25 minutes. By then, they usually say that they would schedule a return call but they never did.

    Other than that, Medicom’s people are great. Generally, they do what they say they’re going to do. If their reps say they’re going to be here between this time and this time, they usually are and if they’re going to be late, they always call and tell us how late they would be. The reps who’ve come out were very polite, too, and whenever we have a mud hole upfront where they have to walk in through, they always make sure they wipe their feet on the rug. They don’t track up our house and take the extra steps most of the time. They even pick up after themselves to make sure that they don’t make an extra mess. Mediacom is also excellent in terms of quality 90% of the time. Most of our experience with the cable has been good and we never have the TV flicker, roll or get fuzzy. Plus, they are still more convenient than anything. I would recommend them to somebody else.

Once I got my promotions on they weren’t any good. It went from $60 to almost $100 to get CNN and Family Channel on there so it didn’t work out.

Then we ask for a discount but we never get that. Also, it takes quite a few days for us to have a service guy come when we have a problem. Being in a small town, they should be able to come quicker than what they do. But overall, we’re pleased with Mediacom.

    I've had Mediacom since the 80's. They're fine. I've never had any problems. The only thing is I don't like the price I have to pay. The people that did the install did everything for me that I've asked them to do. The service they give has been good, it went down for a few hours but that happens not very often. Overall, I’m happy with my experience.

    I had Mediacom before I moved into the apartment and it’s the only thing they accept. The girl from the sales team in the office is great, she helps and does everything possible to make you happy. I haven't had good luck because I moved and the transfer wasn't very easy. I called about over a week and they told me I should call back in four days and they would transfer my cable from the other apartment to here. It didn't work out. They goofed up somehow so, when I called them back, they set me up where they said it would be eight days. I told them I already called and talked to somebody. They told me that I didn't need to call for four days and I called five days ahead of time then. Then they said they couldn't get to me. And I was a lot unhappy.

    So anyway, the girl said they’ll set me up. I was moving on Monday and she will set me up then for a Friday. I said okay and they set me up for one day. Then I found out later that they didn't have me down and had me set up for this last Monday. They called and said to make it 12:00. Then they called about 12:15 and said there was no tech in the area. So they couldn't do me until another week until the next Friday. Then finally on Friday, the tech did come and got most of it done except the cable channels. They didn't work and he told me it was something to do on the end of the building seeing that they're all new apartments and something hadn't been connected right.

    I've come to find out I needed a new machine. But he didn't tell me it was the box or I would have gone up there and got one that day or he could have fixed it. So I did have all the channels except the inspiration ones and the Starz that I had. So then, I went up and made another appointment for the 13th for them to come which was today. In the meantime, someone said that it was probably my box. So I went up to the Mediacom person here in town. And she said it probably was after I explained what was going on. So she gave me another box and told me that she would hook it up for me with the signals. She told me to go home and so I did and my daughter hooked it up. They called her and she explained enough to my daughter that she got it done. So now it's okay. Other than that, they finally got it.

    Mediacom needs to get more techs so that everybody doesn't get frustrated in waiting so long. The one that came down finally on a Friday was a private person that they hired to come in and it wasn't a tech from Mediacom. He works with them and helps sometimes when they need extra people. If I went to another company, I would have done it because I was really upset. But it was a very good experience because when you move, you don't like to be without your cable or your TV. Especially at my age, that's all you got to do, just sit and watch TV. It's working fine but I need to work with it because I'm not sure about how to get a little better color. All this time, my daughter worked with it. But Mediacom did everything they can and if they would get more help, I would recommend.

    I've got phone, computer, and television service with Mediacom Cable. The one and only reason I chose them was that they carry Iowa State football, basketball, and volleyball. Otherwise, I'd deal with another cable and internet provider. For the most part, Mediacom's service sucks. Right now, the email on the computer doesn't work. I also didn't have any TV for about two weeks, then It came on, and then it went black. They had a service guy fix the TV in the living room area but the TV in the bedroom blacks out and says, "Call your Mediacom service," and gives an error number. They said there was a leak in the box and they'll come and fix it, but they didn’t. We’ve called, but nothing gets done.

    I called Mediacom on August 5 but they finally acted only on August 25, after two to three weeks, and the excuse they gave me was that they had to get the college kids hooked up first before they could come and see me. I'm a paying customer and I never missed a bill for nine years. They went overboard to fix these college kids up, but they were going to stiff me. They put the college kids before their regular customer and that wasn’t right.

    I'm a sports buff so I watch the Super Bowl or the Masters games. But my TV never fails to go out and it takes three weeks before a technician can come and get to me. I don't get it. I see service people around here in the trucks and we've got a local station in Ames where you can pay your bills and pick up your HD boxes that go haywire every three months after you put them in.

    I've been in business for 27 years myself and my best customer was satisfied. One of these days, another cable and internet company is going to provide better service and they’ll be begging for customers to come back. My son-in-law has Vivint. He pays $60 a month for his Netflix service and he keeps telling me that I can get it with a little box that costs between $40 and $60. I'm paying $210 a month and this service charge keeps going up all the time, mostly by $5 a month, and I don’t know for what reason. I used to get a little note from them that they just raised the price. It's either I stay with Mediacom or switch to Dish. DIRECTV has called me personally and for a fee of $200 per two months, they're going to give me free TV, free stations, and all the movie channels free for three months, and then another package for $99 for two years. But unless they bring the Iowa State games here, I'm going to stick with Mediacom.

    I have had nothing but issues ever since I have this account connected. My phone service has not worked since I had it connected. I always have interruptions with the Internet and the cable going out. They send out contractors that don't know what they're doing. One contractor came out install my cable and never gave the cable company their money. I would never recommend this cable company to anyone. I would recommend watching TV with an antenna before I would recommend this company to anyone When you talk to them on the phone you get told something different by everyone that you talk to so you have no idea what's going on because they have no idea what's going on.

    When I lived in Virginia I never had any issues with cable service. When I moved to Carolina you are limited because you have to go with who services your area and unfortunately for me it is Mediacom but I can assure you that I will be getting rid of this service. I am not satisfied with their service. I have not been satisfied since I had it and I'm tired of calling and talking to people who don't even know what they're doing. So I had elected to order an antenna and I will watch whatever channels I can get with an antenna and least I know I will have service. That's more than I can say with Mediacom. I might services out more than its own one but they don't adjust your bill that's for sure. Please save yourself the headache and the time and go with someone else if you can and there is no other alternative. Go with a Fire Stick. Anything other than this company.

    I called on 9-11 about an internet problem, they sent someone out the next day, he came early so my TV was not on. He fixed the internet problem and moved my modem, he also went outside to the cable box attached to the house and did something. A few minutes after he left I turned my TV on and my cable was out, I checked my internet and it was out too, so I called Mediacom and they sent him back out.

    He looked at the hook up on the inside and said, "I don't see a problem", then he went outside on the pole and said there is not a signal, so he made an appt for maintenance to come which was supposed to be within 24-48 hrs but no one came out until Saturday the 16th which was 96 hrs and he only went up the pole to fix the signal and never came in the house, so I called Mediacom and they checked my service and said my modem wasn't showing up online and they need to send a tech and they gave me an appt for the 25th.

    Now that means I'm without cable or internet for 2 weeks and I don't think that's fair. I feel like they should be able to send someone out within 2 days to fix your service.

    Everybody at Mediacom is pleasant. It’s been 23 years since I've been with them and everything’s been fine. They’ve always been good if I’ve had to call about a problem or anything. After we got the basic package, we added the Big Ten Channel and a few extras. I use my TV a lot because I don’t get out much anymore, and I really enjoy it. It’s my lifeline right now. A week or so ago, I called them because I couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t getting ESPN2. But it was on different numbers in the schedule that I have. I’m not up on all this new stuff but the rep was very good to walk me through it and get this channel that I wanted. So, I appreciate the kindness. When you’re older and live alone, and you aren’t really up on some of these things, you really appreciate kindness when you call for help. I’d give Mediacom 5 stars everyday of the week.

    On January 3, I had Mediacom installed in my home. I had used Dish system for the twelve years prior to accepting my neighborhood discount notice. If contacted prior to January 3, I was promised these items for monthly fee of $29.99 per month and it was agreed with the representative that it would be for a two-year term.

    I have contacted the Mediacom office asking about the free multi-room DVR service which I only received when I asked them to furnish separate boxes as I never received the three free months in multi rooms. I only received the three extra boxes when I began to pay the additional monthly charges. I have also contacted the Mediacom office telling them I have not been able to access the Starz and Starz Encore which are items listed to be part of my $29.99 month contract. They told us they would report back to me and have received nothing from them.

    Would you be able to please activate these two channels as they are listed as part of my original package? As they have not been activated since January, I feel I should have this amount reduced from my monthly bill. Then once they are activated, they would be part of my original package and would have no further charges. I have tried to download the free Internet Security and Protection plan but it is NOT accepted. Thanks for looking into this situation.

So, I rolled the equipment all up and made a trip down there at Mediacom to return it. They asked me about the remote control and I said that I’ve never seen one and that they must have taken it.

    At the time when the guys came, a friend of mine was here. When I came home, I told her about the remote and she asked me if I looked behind the television.

    I've had Mediacom forever and it's always been good. But when I first got cable TV, I think it was some other name. I started out in the 70's and I think it was the only cable company in town pretty much, then they changed to Mediacom. When I first started out, my cable bill's only like $6 and that's with HBO. But they didn't have many channels then. Now, they changed it down. They were getting so high that I called and I had said, "You know what? It's getting too high." And they did an adjustment, but it's bounced like $120, then $130 something, then $140 something. And I think it's going to jump to $160 something. Then I had them do some kind of deal on me.

    I've always had Mediacom cable TV, but I had CenturyLink for my computer because that's what I had down at the store I worked. I took that computer when we closed the store and put it over my house so I just kept it. But then CenturyLink got so high, so I switched to Mediacom. The quality of my cable is really good. Although just like anything else, the equipment is starting to get old. It's working pretty well, but I know they were fixing it somewhere today. My internet was down for a couple of hours, but they fixed it. That's after spending 10 minutes going through robot and then it doesn't fix anything. Every problem I've had has been on the outside. So, I hate going through all those prompts 'cause it doesn't fix anything. But still, I'm sure nobody's going to do any better. That's why I usually do recommend Mediacom if somebody's got Dish or something like that and they're having trouble with reception, I tell them, "You ought to get a Mediacom."

    I got my own place about 22 years ago and Mediacom's sales team convinced me that they have a good service. I was living in an apartment a long time ago and they had to redo the cable going from the outside of the house through the floor of the basement. It’s a little difficult getting it up by the wall but they moved the cord over to the spot where the TV would be so that was great. But when I moved here in 2015 and they had to connect me with the cable in my new place, I saw where they had the cable at and they had to cover it so it’ll look a lot nicer. The way they installed everything was perfectly well and I have to give those guys credit for pushing themselves far just to get the job done. It’s not sloppy but that’s how I look at it.

    I had trouble one day when I was up at night watching TV. I was calling Mediacom and the lady that I talked to asked me if I could use any help and I didn’t think it was any of her concern. But I kept Mediacom because they give pretty good channels and I still hope that maybe they’ll add channels that are not only basic. In all the years that I’ve spent watching programs with them, they gave out specials and I enjoyed it a great deal being able to watch something at night if I can’t sleep. Mediacom not only shows respect of showing programs but also picks up on everything that's happening all over the world. As long as Mediacom gets right up on the job there, I’m happy with that.

    They said a technician could not be sent out prior to 8 days out. I explained this was not acceptable since I needed to work from home. They hung up on me. I called back and asked for my monthly service fee (>$100) to be refunded and to have my service cancelled. They said they would refund only 1 week of service and only after I returned my equipment. Extremely poor service and rude, unprofessional representatives. I have cancelled my service and will never use Mediacom again.

    Goes out a lot, seems to be very expensive and when it does go out there is no credit given on the bill. Also the website is not very user friendly, seems like you must jump thru a lot of hoops just to talk to a real live person.

    I'm liking my Mediacom. I had some frustration with serious low, like below 1mbps, upload speed for a few months, but all has been fixed since then. I would like if the 1gb plan would become available in my area, but it's not like it's a pure need. It would just be fun to have and the price isn't too much more than my current plan, last I heard.

    I stopped packing my boxes at 3:00 when I came home to my new apartment because Mediacom was supposed to come from 3:00 to 5:00 but they never showed up. When I called them they said, "We have you on the schedule for tomorrow." So not only did I waste that time not packing, I had to stop packing and be there at 8:00. I also have a problem with the bedroom TV. It keeps saying that it's losing the signal in the living room. It does it every night when I'm in the bedroom to go to bed. And when there was a thunderstorm coming at us and I wanted to know if the tornadoes were coming at our town and where they were at the TV went out because it was raining so hard. The dish went out. I called them and said I'm not getting their cable for me to turn my radio on. But Mediacom has better service than most out there and I'm happy with them.

    Poor service. Phone can be out for days unless you actually see "check your phone line" on the phone set display. And just 2 days ago I could make calls & hear the other end, but no one could hear me? Phone service needs much improvement, SOON! I will be forced to drop it due to its unreliable nature.
