    The service was ok. It went down for a few hours at least a couple of times per year but that was not too bad. The cable box that we used for a year was very outdated, worked very slowly, was massive, and ugly. The worst part is the Customer service. For 10 months they were overcharging me. It ended up being a clerical error so I did forgive them as they fixed the error and gave me credit for the amount they overcharged. Then I changed service which no longer required a cable box. I asked the operator where I am supposed to return it and they said to just keep it as it is an older box. I kept it for several months making sure that it did not show up on my bill. I was sick of looking at the big ugly thing so I threw it out.

    A year later they upped my fees by $20 and added a $10 fee for the box. I said that I do not even use the box as it does not work with my service package. They told me to return the box and that they will remove the fee going forward (they refused to refund the $10). I told them what the operator said and they told me that there is no proof that their operator told me to keep it despite them not charging me for the box for over a year. I asked when they sent me notification that I had to return the box and she said that they did not need to give me notification. I asked for a supervisor and she took down my information so that they could call me back. They never did of course. I felt that I was calm but direct and in return I was told I was a liar and was given a good dose of attitude and an unwillingness to cooperate in any fashion.

    I've used Mediacom in the past, at the house of friends and family, and the quality/speed of the internet has always been commendable. However, I've been trying to get my house serviced for almost a month and have had no progress in that time. I could understand the wait for installation, yes; but I have been waiting this long just to have a technician look at our property and tell us if we have service available! So far, Mediacom is the only provider available to us in this area... Mediacom apparently even services our street. But I've been waiting about 3 weeks just to have someone come to my house to say yay or nay!

    It's become a real problem, because internet is crucial for our business and school work to be completed, yet we're waiting for a service we might not be able to get. I've called many times now and the people are always kind to speak to, but I dread the day that Mediacom finally arrives to verify availability because I'll probably have to wait another two months just to get everything installed; and that's if it's even available!! I understand that companies are busy, but it hasn't been very reassuring to know that if we ever have an issue it will take two months for a technician to come out.

    The apartment I live in was already wired when I got here. However, Mediacom tried to upsell a modem that was inappropriate for my area so that irritated me. Other than that, our internet has been pretty good, plus they also implemented this new thing that would check the modem automatically and I really liked that.

    When we first got Mediacom cable about three years ago, they were one of the only ones in town that had fairly decent service. When we have some service problems, they've been fixed quickly, personably and honestly. Mediacom is good compared to everybody else and the service has always been good, but we had to reroute a cable across our street about four or five months ago. They keep saying they'll bury the cable in two weeks, but nothing has been done. Nobody from the company has come out and it's very, very troubling.

    There're too many excuses being given about how the city has all these rules. It's getting to be a little tiresome to hear that excuse over and over again. After a ton of repeated requests and the entire neighborhood calling in and asking about why it hasn't been done, the cable is still sitting across our street which is a nuisance. For all the nice, good service we have, that has been a very bad mark on Mediacom and we're all still upset.

    I have a phone, cable and internet with Mediacom. Their installation guys were very good and always polite. And even the ones on the phone were very nice to me. I’m 81 years old and I can’t afford a whole lot. So I got to put up what I got. Most the time, the phone is pretty good. I’ve had a few problems but not too much. My doctor's calls come in on this phone and I use it everyday. Right now, I need a new cellphone. This one's not worth it. But my daughter pays for my cellphone so I have to go where she goes and and I'm not sure if we'll get the new one through Mediacom .

    My internet is also lousy and I have trouble with the cable at times. It’ll go several days and I don’t even call them. And I thought they were going to take that last time off my bill but they didn’t. They’re also supposed to come out and fix the wire that’s been hanging on my roof for three years when they put the cable in. I got a wire hanging down by my kitchen window and they never fixed it. They’ve been told about it and I'm not going to call them anymore. I’m tired of it. But most of the time, they come out and fix things -.they’re good that way.

    In general, my experience was a little okay and I would recommend Mediacom to a friend. The other providers I’ve had have been terrible. Every time I get my bill, it went up higher every month and it’s not right. They should give the new customers the same thing as everybody else. If they’re going to give a break, they should give it to everybody. It’s not fair to give it to one and not the other.

    I’ve been on Mediacom cable for a long time and I like it. They're handy so I decided to go with them. There’s a place downtown where I can just go out there and pay my bill. I called them one time when they were working on the cable somewhere and it went out. They told me that they’d let me know when it’s fixed. Sometimes they also take the channels away and we had to reprogram because all basic channels were off, which was ridiculous. And we’ve done that a few times. But when I call them, they’re excellent because they give me an answer right away. Also, when I pay the bill, the interaction I have with the lady there is great as well. She's super, but it would be nice sometimes if the price wasn’t quite so high. I just have the basic plus the next one up and without the internet. But other than that, it’s been a good experience with Mediacom.

    I had Mediacom before and I could get everything in one package from them like internet so we got them again. We got the Gold service, the one with HBO, and we have the internet as well. It's going well with Mediacom overall as long as they don't send their contractor out here. I had a horrible installation experience with the contractor who made excuses for everything and took forever to finish the job. He didn't hook up a couple of TVs that he's supposed to hook up. The contractor and that's nothing to do with Mediacom. The quality of service from their people was fine. The cable and the internet are working good and I hope it keeps it that way.

    I've been a Mediacom Cable customer for 30 years and they have been the only cable company I have ever used. We don't have many issues with it unlike Dish, Digital etc, wherein they have issues with their service when there are weather issues. Mediacom’s reception is good. I watch television in the morning and in the evening. I watch the news, football games, or certain programs the days I'm home. Customer service is also good. They were cordial and accommodating every time I called. They don't act like I'm putting them out just because I called. Sometimes I sign up for one of the movie channels and it's a package deal for six months and I forget. I call them and say, "Hey, remove this" and they always do. They always adjust the monthly statement accordingly for the days I had something taken off or addition in times I've added a service. They've also adjusted accordingly for the days in that billing month that has to be paid the next time.

    Since we moved to Valley Center, California we have used the cable TV and internet services of Mediacom. Hands down worst cable tv and internet of any company we've ever used. The TV channels are pixelated and the picture freezes on random channels intermittently, Tivo never worked correctly, we would have to reboot the system daily sometimes for a couple weeks at a time which never completely solved the issues, certain channels would still freeze. The Internet is slow and constantly going down, so I would call their so-called customer service department to resolve the issues, which is very difficult since we have no cellular service at our location so we use WIFI boosted signal which only works when the internet is up. We also have the Mediacom phone service which is also internet-based so that doesn't work either when the internet is down.

    Finally I would get hold of an agent which was never any help whatsoever, they always have to book a service appointment and for some reason it takes two to three weeks to get someone out here, and they either can't access the Mediacom equipment or they just don't know what they're doing. Unfortunately Mediacom is the only cable company in our area so we don't have a choice. So at present we're without tv and have very slow internet and there is no solution until our service appointment 08/25/17 which will only temporarily solve the problem as that has always been the case in the past. Worst customer service, Worst cable tv, Worst Internet service.

    I had Mediacom once when I lived in Baldwin. I've also had DIRECTV before and I still like Mediacom. It works very well for me. When I signed up with them again, their reps were very helpful. I have their cable TV and I watch certain channels which are mostly sports and some movies. Their service is good and it never goes off whenever it's storming. I've only had it off one time when a water company was working in the area and did something to the line. So we had to wait until it came back on. Also, some of the boxes are not the best so they told me how to unplug it and it reboots itself. Since I've been able to that myself, I haven't had any problems at all. One time that it didn't reboot and I called the number they gave me. It was something on their end so it was fine. Mediacom is a good company and I've had a great experience with them both times. But I hope they don't go up in price anymore because everybody is going up in price.

    Hi all, So I have had Mediacom Xtreme Cable and TiVo for a few months now. Everything seems to work great except the WiFi which I already know that's because it's in the bedroom. I woke up this morning to go out and watch my recorded shows on the TiVo and saw there was no power to it. After a little bit of an investigation I discovered the power cord was not in the back of the box. I followed the cord only to see the reason it was unplugged is that it got so hot in the back of the box it melted. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem. I'm just putting it out there for fair warning to everybody that it does happen and could happen and probably is some sort of extreme fire hazard.

    I guess I'm posting this just for the fact that there's some sort of documentation. Mediacom handled alright. They are sending out a technician with a new box in about 5 days from now... in any case for all you bloggers out there that do read these reviews this is now out there for the whole world to see. Don't get me wrong people I get excellent service and I love my Mediacom.

    Installer performed his job very well, and was courteous the whole time. However, he was not able to get the system to work properly stating that as a subcontractor, he does not have access to MEDIACOM's junction box across the street. Installer stated that MEDIACOM would have to come out and 'Boost the Signal' which would help, but they would eventually have to run a new Optic line under the street. Well, it's been 2 weeks, MEDIACOM has not 'Boosted' the signal and we still have the same issues since Day One: Pixellation; Picture Freezing; 'Black Screen' - sound but no picture at all; and Stuttering Picture and Sound.

    Called the Installer again yesterday but they can't do anything except remind MEDIACOM, which sounds fair since they only do the install. Overall, a Very Very DISAPPOINTING experience. I DO NOT recommend MEDIACOM.

    I am still waiting on a response from customer support in regards to changing the billing date for my Mediacom Internet. I have not heard from them in regards to the account being setup to have billing in the middle of the month. Now for some reason I see the billing cycle was adjusted and I am now being billed at the first of the month. After speaking with customer support they were going to investigate the issue and a manager was going to get back to me, but even after providing the email I have heard nothing. I am starting to think the old CRM is coming back.

    I’ve been with the same company. All those changed names since 1988 and it’s been okay up until probably this last year, around July 2016. I paid my bills, but I have this little blue box that came on my on-demand. So I called them and I said, “Well, there’s this little blue box on my demand thing when I try to order something on-demand”. And they said okay. They sent somebody out. And everything went downhill from there.

    They first told me that it was due to me not paying my bills. I had my receipt and my bill was paid. I’ve got so many different stories. Between July and November of 2016, they sent 15 different people out to my house. They were coming out at least three times a month to my house, switching boxes, five or six different boxes. They also told me that they had to rewire the building then told me that Mediacom wasn’t responsible for the wiring, that my apartment was. They put this little box inside of my apartment and the servicemen were blaming each other. They prorated my bill which that was there, doesn’t mind saving some money. They worked with me then they sent this supervisor guy named Scott out here. He came out here but that didn’t work.

    Then it started working back in November. And in February 2017, I started having problems with it again so they started coming back out. I had problems with it again. They were going back and forth with me about the wiring then my apartment here told me that they weren’t responsible for the wiring. And then Mediacom said they weren’t responsible for the wiring. And in between all of this, in order for my demand to work, I had to unplug my box. They had to call for them to reboot it back and forth and this went on from July of 2016. My on-demand just started working right a few months ago and I haven’t had any problems with it now. The only thing I’m having problems with now is this little bit of tiling every now and then on my TV and this 'one moment please' thing but I don’t even bother calling because I’ve been so frustrated that I don’t even call and just say it is what it is.

    I have some friends that are having problems with their TV and they’re going through a lot. Mediacom used to be, I would tell my friends to get Mediacom. They’re a fine company but now, no. They did try to help me but they couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I kept telling them, “This is costing you guys money, the service calls.” And what was really frustrating to me, the service men were talking about each other. One guy in particular, he was saying, “Oh, that one guy that came out. He don’t know what he’s doing.” And I said, “That was kind of junior high. You’re talking about a guy, your fellow, your colleague.” And then right when he was talking about him, the next day, he’s working with him and talking about another guy.

    And then the same particular guy, when he first came out, he said, “Well, I'm going to make sure that the office gives us note. And that we're going to do the rewiring. I got to go to the third floor.” And so, I waited but he never went to the office and lied to me. He caused me and the office, I lived out here almost 20 years. I called up there. And then him and the office people got into it because he lied. He made me feel that the office wasn’t handling their end. And I thought, “Wow, this is a trip.” Every guy that came in here kept telling me, “I’m better than the next guy”. It made me feel like it’s a bunch of back biting and stuff. And then when the Scott guy came, there’s a new sheriff in town kind of attitude. “I’m going to get this straight.”

    But he didn’t keep his word on certain things. He was just concerned that they had prorated it to the point where my bill had went down a lot. And he let me know that on-demand is a feature I’m not paying for. And I said, “Well, you know what? I pay for the movies I order. It’s a feature that I’m supposed to have.” On-demand was important to me because my bill had went up so high that I had to cancel my HBO and my movie channels because my contract had ran out and I can’t afford the movie channels anymore. So then, I could order stuff when I wanted the movies. And I said, “So when I don’t have it, this is important to me to have, this feature. And I do pay for the movies that I order. You don’t care if I don’t have it.” And it really made me mad that he would say that to me.

    They said I’ve been with their company since 2009 and I don’t know where they get this from. When cable first came to Des Moines, I got them. So it started out like Hawkeye, Heritage, AT&T and the whole. I said, “Right now, I owe you guys like $27. I pay my bill in full. And when I couldn’t or something, I always call, made arrangements. For the most part, I’ve been a pretty decent customer.” And when I did fall behind for a while when I was sick and everything, the cable company was relentless in working with me. And when they told me, “Now you got to pay it in full. We can’t do this anymore.” I understood. It’s my bill. But at the same time, Mediacom changed a lot and I don’t know what it is. And I’m not the only person in Des Moines complaining about them, everybody is. All my friends want to get this Fire Stick and change to Direct and Dish.

    But I choose to stay with their company because I feel that maybe they’ll straighten around. But it went out on me the other night and it just went out. I can never get the same story why this tiling keeps happening and then I get to the point where I know what to do at home sometimes. And I’ll say, “Well, I’m not going to call. Unplug the box for 20, 30 seconds and plug it back in.” And they even have the nerve to tell me. One guy came here when I was having a problem in 2016 and said, “Ma'am, I think your TV's old. Well, you just throw it outside. I’ll take it out to the dumpster.” I have a Sony Bravia, flat screen TV. And it’s not old. And I said, “Are you serious?” And then one of them told me, “Oh, we think ‘cause your DVD's hooked up to your TV. That's why this is happening.” They were really playing with me.

    Some of the service men were very nice people, professional because I can’t say everyone came through here were. But there was about four or five of them that acted like I was a joke. And they were like tired of me. And I was praying, pretty much. And then, when they told me, “Well, you got that little error message box because you haven’t paid your bill. Every month, my bill was paid in full. I said, “Well, here’s my receipt. I keep receipts. So this isn’t because I haven’t paid my bills.” And then the officers tell them, “We don’t do that. This is not true.” And I said, “Well, I don’t know. I don’t work for Mediacom so I don’t know what’s going on. All I know is my bill's paid. You can’t get this off of my TV.”

    But overall, I can’t take this one bad experience to mess up years of good experiences, in all fairness. A couple of years, I was really behind, and they worked with me. So I got to take that into consideration too. Mediacom should tell some of the repairmen that they got to retrain and they can’t go in houses and back bite. It turned me off more than anything. But I would still stay with the company because of years of good service. I’ve been with Mediacom for this long and things happen. If things go get a little rocky, I would pretty much give them another chance.

    I'm very satisfied with Mediacom. I also had them when I lived somewhere else. I'm 88 years old, so I liked the older shows and I can get 8 and 2 or 3 and 2, and 13 and 3 with Mediacom. I liked the extra couple of channels. I was just moving in and they came the next day and they were very good about hooking it up and doing what they were supposed to do. I got a basic service and then the next tier up.

    Once in a while, I get a little break on the amount I pay per month because they have a special. I’m a subscriber all these years and I'm always saving a bit which I’m appreciative of. The only real problem I have is when somebody is operating machinery, my service goes out. Other than that, the service is excellent, they're excellent when they visit and I'd recommend them to anyone.

When our original modem quit we then received another one and that one was not good and had to again get another one. Since that time our connection has been terrible. We constantly have trouble connecting to Netflix, Hulu and Amazon and constantly getting buffering. Sometimes when we try to get online on the computer it immediately says we do not have a connection, then it finally comes up. Also the customer service is not good.

    I have been very pleased with all parts of my bundle except the telephone. Recently, I have lost phone connections and needed to reboot my modem. This is a new problem. I have been pleased with my Tivo, internet, and Wifi. Occasionally, the picture has frozen and sometimes the station disappears. These have been minor compared to other services in my area.

    Your phone attendants had little to no knowledge. The tech that "setup" my equipment arrived, said "oh you're already setup" and then charged me a setup fee. Your company may have the fastest internet in the area. But your service is intermittent and drops out with regularity. So 1 star, only because negative numbers are not an option.

    I was a Mediacom customer at my previous home with very little issues. When it came time to move, I spoke with a very helpful employee that set up a time and package for the install at my new address out of town. I was mailed the router and the internet was working fine when I went through the setup process myself. I just needed TV. The first day, I waited four hours and did not hear from anyone, when I called the number of the person was to come, it was not valid. I then called the 800 number to check on it ten minutes prior to the four hour slot ending. They said he was just then checking into the order but he was supposed to call 15 minutes prior. So, I rescheduled as I had wasted 4 hours in the middle of a move.

    The second appointment window passed and I never heard from anyone. I work .5 mile from my new address so I would have been there within five minutes of my 15 minute heads up. Again, the number listed for the man who was to come was not valid. Come to find out, whoever placed my order, did not use the correct number on my account (3 year customer), but they had typed my number in wrong so the man could not reach me.

    When we finally figured out the issue, the man called and was very irritated that I had not answered his calls and was insistent that that was the issue, regardless of what I told him. THEN, he did not have the proper HD equipment for the install so he told me to look out for an email that he would re-schedule for me. HE NEVER DID! I went out of town and came back to no internet. He had come out and CANCELLED my service instead. So, I took my equipment back to the nearest Mediacom and went with another company.

    On top of all of this, when I called to find out the cancellation issue, they could not even find my prior order number and said I would have to place a new order. I was not offered the same package yet I already had the equipment. It has been the most unprofessional, unorganized, rude process I have experienced in a long time. And unfortunately, you lost a customer and bad experiences travel by word quickly. What a joke.

    Not a great start as a new Mediacom customer. Our original install date was Monday July 10th between 8:00 am and 9:30 am. The technician NEVER called and NEVER showed up. NO ONE from Mediacom ever called! I on the other hand called multiple times trying to get updates, with no answers. Rescheduled the install for Sunday, July 16th between noon and 5:00 pm. Once again the technician NEVER called and NEVER showed up. This time my husband and I both called MULTIPLE times throughout the day trying to get updates with NO ANSWERS. Just another no show with no calls explaining why. Installation rescheduled for a 3rd time for Tuesday, July 25th. We were told we would be the first appointment of the day. Our "scheduled" install time was 8 am to noon.

    FINALLY, the technician called at just before noon that he was on his way. WOW... Talk about a total nightmare... Welcome to Mediacom. Once the technician arrived he was great. No complaints with him at all. However, Mediacom as a company is a nightmare. I can't even count the number of phone calls my husband and I both made just to try and get us installed as a NEW CUSTOMER. Are we likely to refer our friends and family to Mediacom? HELL NO!

    I was very happy with the service. The tech had already checked the situation before he got out of the van. He checked the inside cable modem and a cable splitter in the basement and then went outside, and checked the connections going into the house. Then he moved on to the service utility pole and identified a section of cable that was preventing the cable modem from having 2-way communication with Mediacom. Once that cable was replaced, everything has been working perfectly. I'm very satisfied and content.

    I work up to three jobs, so it has been difficult for Mediacom to work with my schedule and time off. We've been working on this connection issue since last summer. I've had time off recently because of a surgery, and Mediacom scheduled this service call during my time off. I appreciate Mediacom's effort to work with me and I have been happy to have full functionality with my internet service while I've been home. Thank you very much.

    Mediacom Cable is what everybody has in the apartment so I went with them, too. I'm doing good on the service itself and I like it. However, the installation guy didn’t do a very good job and now I've got a hole halfway up my wall. He should've called me before he drilled through my closet wall into my other bedroom to run the cable. Also, when I upgraded my plan, I wasn’t getting the channels I was supposed to. They said they had to send a different signal and someone came out to change something on the pole. They got it resolved but I shouldn’t have had to pay for two weeks of not having the upgrade. When I got the bill, it said $137.93 and it’s only supposed to be $93.30 a month. That’s what the guy told me when we switched ‘cause otherwise I wouldn’t have switched. They’re going to have to correct it. But overall, the service has been great and I’d recommend Mediacom.

    We called Mediacom because they’re the only internet service available in our area. Should have just saved the money because since signing up for their 'service,' we haven’t had internet much more than 2-3 hours a day at most. First, it took them a week and a half to even send a tech out to "setup" our internet. I say "setup" because the tech did little to nothing because we already had the router and modem and they were setup. Cost 120$ and they said there was no way around it. The internet worked for about 6 hours the first day, went out in the evening. Didn't come back on until 7 pm the next day. Called and customer service said it would be TWO WEEKS before someone could come out again. That’s ridiculous!!!

    Internet worked until 915 on the dot that night. Convenient since the chat sessions from customer service shuts down at 9. Again, no internet until the next evening, with it going down at 915 again. That was Friday evening and it still hasn’t reconnected yet (Monday evening) and we still have to wait 2 weeks for a tech to come to come out!!! So since signing up for Mediacom 2.5 weeks ago we've had internet for a grand total of about 10 hours. This company is a scam and I pray that you have another choice unlike we do! DON’T ASSOCIATE IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM WITH MEDIACOM IF YOU CAN HELP IT.

    I should of known from the very start of the installation that I was going to have issues. Since my home is new construction, the install tech had to run a new line from the hub to my home. While he was doing this he must have smoked several cigarettes. Not only did he just dispose of his butts in my yard, he also come into my new home reeking of cigarette smoke. In my new home I have a central hub. He told me that he would put connectors on all the wires and provided me a splitter so I could enjoy basic cable on TV's in other rooms. He pulled out all the wires from the box and only ended up capping the one line he needed. When he was done, he just left all the wires hanging out of the box and did not put the cover back on. Also while outside he drank a soda and left the can on top of the box where the cable comes into the house.

    I have called and asked for someone to call me back to discuss this twice now and still have not received a call back. Then one night last week, my wife and I were watching our local CBS prime time show and all of the locals went out. When I tried to call, they said they were experiencing high call volume and to try my call again later. All I could access is the automated system. I called the next day to cancel my TV service. Since they are the ONLY game in town, I still need them for my internet. When I dropped off my TiVo box I was told that no one had made the change to my account and that I still have the triple play. I asked for someone to call me back for all of these issues. I am still waiting for a call back about all these issues and no one has called me. It has been over a week. I had Dish out the next day to install me for TV service and the install was wonderful.

    I’ve had Mediacom for years and years. Their installers came on the same day they said they would and the installation was quick. I have their cable service and each time I have a problem with the TV, I call and they fix it for me. If I got a problem with them, they’ll work right through. Sometimes, it’s my fault on the TV and sometimes, it's not but they’ve been very helpful. They’re right on top of everything anytime. Their service is the very best and all the channels I want to watch are all right there for me. I get letters from everybody else wanting me to change but I have no reason to. I know Mediacom is a little bit more costly but I get the better service.

    I just moved here and my daughter gave me the name of who to call and Mediacom is the one that has this apartment complex wired. When I first went with them, I had a home phone, the internet and the TV. After one year, it went from $90 to $254, so I dropped the cable, the internet and the phone. I live on a limited income and I couldn’t afford that. I had a good experience with the sales team, though. They answered my questions if I had any. And the installation team took only 15 minutes. The quality of service has been good.

    Sometimes I get good people in Mediacom but some people are rude. My experience was pretty good when they installed it. You can call them up to let them know that you’re having trouble with the stations or you’re not getting them but they will stand there and argue with you because they get that on their TV but I'm not getting it on mine. Also, I used to really enjoy the stations that had the weather on it and I got a little aggravated when they took it off. When I called to ask them why, their reason, to me, was not good enough.

    I'm on a small income and I lost my husband four years ago. It’s not right how they raise the cable all the time. One month, I paid my cable and I lost my receipt and they charged me. When I found the receipt, I still had to pay that over and that didn’t sit very good with me. So, from now on, I keep every one of my receipts because they’re going to come back to me and tell me that I didn’t pay when I know I did. I had their internet too but I had to cancel it because my tablet blew up. Most of the time, it’s just a matter of who I get and it’s okay. Some of them are courteous. We don’t have any choice than Mediacom so we have to be satisfied because that’s all we have.

    I’ve been with Mediacom for about 20 years and I had good service for the most part, through the years. I have cable, internet and telephone with them. I’ve been satisfied with Mediacom. However, I was dissatisfied with my bill because it creeped up over time. It was too high. At the time, I was looking around and I had information from AT&T. I used to be on AT&T on my phone even when I had Mediacom on my television and internet. But then later we combined all three of them. I was taking a second look at AT&T. I haven’t made any decision, but Mediacom made an adjustment to my bill. It was resolved about four weeks ago and that’s what I needed.

    Also, I have a television that’s on most of the time but every now and then, it will go off beyond three to five minutes. Mediacom had sent five different reps out and the customer service scheduled another for Monday to try to figure out what the problem is. They haven’t been able to solve it yet. The people who came out on behalf of Mediacom were probably not as sharp as they could be. The customer service also sent a signal to the box about three times, but it hadn’t done any good.

    Internet installed 17 days ago and does not work. After waiting one week to install Internet and TV service installed on July 11, 2017. On July 12th internet went out and has not worked since. Each time a service rep comes out they pass it along to another dept. and they will get to me in "one week". I have called Mediacom numerous times and for the most part they are rude, aggressive, and of no help. The service rep (tech) came out installed. Second tech came out a week later and checked inside, said everything is ok and stated it is a line problem. He stated they are backlogged and it would be week. A customer service rep informed me yesterday the lineman came out six days ago and "repaired" the problem at the pole.

    He nor anyone from Mediacom followed up to see if I had service. I assumed the repairman had not come out and was waiting a week for my repair. Then yesterday they scheduled another repairman for next week Aug. 2nd between 1 and 5. I called today to register my complaint and the customer service rep changed the appt to tomorrow from 8 to 12. I told her that if they send another regular tech he/she will state everything is okay inside and there must be a line problem at which time the customer service (I use the word "service" tongue in cheek) merry-go-round starts again. Also, got cable TV and can't use it for anything other than regular channels because NetFlix, etc requires internet which I have but DOES NOT WORK! TERRIBLE "SERVICE". I would not recommend Mediacom anymore. I will post to every social media site I can find in hopes other consumers won't make the same mistake.

    After a positive interaction with Mediacom Cable, H. H. increased their star rating on Sept. 1, 2017.

    Updated review: Sept. 1, 2017

    Mediacom was adequately prompt and thorough with resolving our site's connectivity issues. We have been monitoring the quality and consistency of our internet connection for weeks, and are satisfied that Mediacom has done all they can to correct it.

    We stand by our original opinion that "scheduled outages" are nothing short of mind blowing in frequency, however. It is well understood that scheduled outages are a necessary process "in order to maintain" systems and service, yet these weekly total nighttime blackouts have been occurring for the seventeen years we've been using Mediacom's service. In our opinion, even a low-level redundant backup system would be more than sufficient to carry connection in the early morning hours of scheduled maintenance.

    Our grievances aside however, I'm upgrading my original 2 star rating to 4 stars. We no longer suffer from constant outages, 30 second drops, or overheating lines. Our internet service is solid and reliable - when scheduled to be so.

    Original Review: July 27, 2017

    We have two Mediacom accounts in our home, two modems; one business and one residential. Both are equally terrible, with equal outages and equal service interruptions. The only difference between the two; do you want a technician to come out and NOT fix the problem in 24 hours or in 4 to 5 days? Since the beginning of the year, Mediacom has rewired the internet in our home, from our home to the pole, from the pole down the street - and replaced our modem 7 (seven) times. We were told our situation was escalated to a supervisor on multiple occasions (it never was). Take a wild guess how our service is today?

    But Mediacom isn't just a company revolving around gross incompetence, it gets much more sketchy than that should you actually get high speed internet. Fifty percent of the time, you will lose internet after midnight. To make matters worse, this will happen toward the end of the week, and even on weekends. You will call them, and hear this automated message: "...In order to minimize any service interruptions during peak usage hours, we typically perform routine system maintenance between the hours of 12 a.m. and 7 a.m. You may experience temporary loss of service during this time..."

    That's right! No internet after midnight! Because after midnight, you should be asleep, and businesses don't exist? Are you kidding me? This blows my mind. Perhaps they should only bill us for half days then? And maybe take off a little extra for those eight times you were dropped in each of those half days? I could go on and on and on... I give them two stars; because when their internet works, it is fine. The other 60% of the time, you will be wondering how the quality of service they provide is even legal. Shame on you, Mediacom.

    When we first moved in Woodlands Creek we hooked up our Computer modem we had brought over (per instructions from Mediacom) and the computer work as previously with no assistance from Mediacom. However, the phone service did not work nor the cable (to be expected) as it was several days later before our Mediacom appointment was to happen.

    As per agreed appointment time, a subcontractor to Mediacom (Premier) the technician showed up. He was struggling with getting the phones and cable box to work and system register a clean check. He informed us that this was only his second day on the job without a trainer and not sure of what he was doing. He did stay on the phone most of the time with his trainer. He did get the phones to finally work and the cable but stated the system did not check out clean and he coordinated with the maintenance people of Woodlands Creek and Mediacom and they were going to have to install a new line inside the building to correct the situation.

    An appointment was established by the Tech with Mediacom and Woodlands Creeks Maintenance people to do the work to be done the following day (Saturday July 8th, 2017). He then left and stated that the three systems would work but at a low quality and probably intermittently. He had arrived about 8:30 am and departed approximately 10:45 am.

    As of 7/16/2017 we have had neither contact from Mediacom nor the maintenance personnel and the work was never completed as of this date. The TV quit functioning Tuesday July 11th, 2017 and I called Mediacom and worked first with the online help and we were unable to accomplish any improvement/repair. The problem was no picture and error message that came up and said it would return later and gave an error number. When the electronic assistance was unable to resolve the problem they turned me over to a technician. He recommended numerous fixes and none worked. Finally he said our problem would require a technician come to the home. The earliest he could establish an appointment was Saturday July 15th between the hours of 5 pm and 7 pm. He repeated that that was the earliest available. I accepted.

    On Saturday July 15th a technician arrived at approximately 5 pm and in checking the problem determined that when the previous Mediacom representative had installed a different cable box that he had failed to register it with the company and that Mediacom noting that had shut down the service. The technician then installed another cable box (He said that he was unable to do anything with the present one as it was not assigned to him). The installation of the cable box appeared to resolve the problem. He also checked the health of the line and said it was still weak and needed the apartment management to install a new one to our unit. He called his office and they stated that there was still a work order for Mediacom and the Woodlands management to accomplish that effort.

    I asked when as we had been told by the previous Mediacom representative that it would happen last Saturday July 8th and we were to remain home all day as no time could be established for sure. We did remain home all day and no one showed up or contacted us. (It never happened.) All services appear to be working as of 7/16/2017 but no idea when the required work to replace the line by Mediacom and the Woodlands management to correct the deficient operation of the service will happen, if ever?

    On Monday morning July 17th our computers and TV lost connection. I called Mediacom and was connected with Ken and again explained our problem and history of the transfer of services and what again was not working. Ken researched our file and said that the problem was that someone had disconnected our service at the new location and took it back to the old location. He stated that he was unable to fix it and referred me to another section (Jamie-888-845-6245) who worked with us for over an hour to try and recover our TV and internet services.

    Our phone service and TV came back but no internet so I recalled Mediacom (Delaine) and she verified that the service (internet) had been restored and asked if we had a router and I said yes. She stated that it appeared that the router was the problem. We were able to reset the router. That did resolve the problem. Somehow when Mediacom reset the modem it apparently caused the router to become disoriented? (I fixed that) We pay over $200. per month and been a customer 10 years-I expected better service- and a qualified technician when we have a problem.

    Original Review: July 22, 2017

    I have been a Mediacom customer for about a decade. Service was top notch in speed and reliability for years. Unfortunately things have changed in the last 8-10 months. Service cuts out randomly 10-30 times a day for as little as a minute up to an hour at times. I have exchanged my modem twice, changed routers and had service techs come 2-3 times (one of which I was charged for) and nothing has fixed the problem. After talking with friends and co-workers it seems it's not just my connection as they have all been having the same issue for the same amount of time.

    If you call them during a longer outage they give you the same "unplug and reset everything" solution that doesn't fix anything ever. Some people I've talked with are using Comelec now and while the speeds are slower, it is vastly more reliable and a third of the cost. If you're looking for internet around the Dubuque Iowa area, do not waste your time and money on Mediacom.

    We first started out with Hawkeye Cablevision in July of 1980 and we'd always kept them even the time that Sterling or Hawkeye Cablevision had bought them out then ended up being MediaCom. But in November of 2010, I left MediaCom and went to DIRECTV because MediaCom's price was too high. It cost me $198 a month in 2010 to watch TV, have internet, and a phone. So, I left and went to DIRECTV and paid separate for phone and internet, but my TV for everything was only $140. However, it went from $142 to $178 to $200-something then to $236, all within a two-month span so I got to have a better deal than it. I've never had Dish Network, but I've had DIRECTV and MediaCom and the one thing that I don't like that any of them do is give brand-new customers a better deal than old ones.

    I dealt with Jen in Ingersoll, Des Moines and she was great and very helpful. Everybody told me what my price would be, what I told them what I wanted. I don't like some of their channel lineups the way they have them right now on TV and that if I’m in the high-defs and in the 800s, then I want to drop clear back down some of the other movies into the 300s or the 400s. I like to see all the movie channels together, but they won't do that and they said that they spread some out because they don't want a parental device and want some stuff together. It’s not true because I can go from 430, move up, and I’m in movies, then all of a sudden, now I’m in adult entertainment. The installation experience was good but it goes out every now and then. They've had problems in the area with either a storm, a storm damage, but they get it back on quickly. I wish there were still some things that they would change but I've recommended them to other people.

    Mediacom customer service about billing seems intentionally confusing. Today was 4th time I have tried to talk about price of service. I live on SS and my bill has gone up $40.00 in less than a year. Every time I try to talk to them about a reduction in services so I can reduce the bill, they are vague, confusing and condescending. I no longer qualify for intro prices, I understand, but I ask about getting rid of 1 TiVo box, they say it won't make a difference in the price. When I ask about getting rid of STARZ only $3.00 difference. Not only will they not give you exact totals, but when I talked about turning the phone off, he wants me to another department. When I asked about cutting everything off and starting over with minimum services, he gives me a estimate amount that is $50.00 more than I am paying now.

    I have no doubt in my mind, they make the information confusing and difficult to understand on purpose. I have no choice on providers because I live in senior housing, but you think they would at least offer discounts for seniors like Georgia Power and so many other place do... They nitpick every penny for example the charge for regional sports network surcharge. I don't have any sports channels except those that come in family plan and I don't watch those.

    When I talk to other people, they have nothing but complaints, too. I would think for the platinum prices we pay the channels are often pixelated, service calls never show up on time. I laugh when I see the commercials on TV about service visits calls. I have never called that they didn't give me a 4 hour window and not make it. Without cable and internet access, I would have nothing else to do.

I have had their service for many years now, as they are the only provider in my area, and believe me when I say I tried to find a replacement. Let's start with the pricing, while I cannot speak to specific pricing in other areas I cannot help but believe that Mediacom prices are nothing short of extortion and a product of the monopoly that they have on my area. I pay $130 for (advertised) 150 Mbps download and 40 Mbps (I think) upload with a cap of 1000gb of data (that's right I have a cap on data in 2017), and another $10 per month for each 100gb over after that. However, I only get about half of the advertised speed approx 65 Mbps download and 16 Mbps upload, I would give you specific numbers but, as usual I do not currently have service, which brings me to my next point.

    Not only is their service overpriced and underperforming the times where I have a stable connection are few and far between. On average I would say I spend about 6 hrs a day on my home internet 10-12 on weekends. And over those 6 hours I will be disconnected about 10 or so times for times ranging from 5 minutes to hours and before you go thinking customer service will help I spare you the phone call, where you will spend at least 30mins on hold, it's probably your router and your modem. Just for reference, I have replaced both in the last month to a SURFboard SB6190 and a Netgear Nighthawk X8, in total approximately ($450ish now I believe since the Nighthawk has dropped in price). Now you might be thinking 5 minutes of disconnect every isn't so bad, and in truth, I could live with that, however often times it is much longer and I have gone for as long as 5 days without service.

    Now, one may think they would own up to this and make it right with the customer, wrong, it was obviously on your end, or at least so customer service insists. Additionally, if you ever get so fed up with their service that you want a technician to come check it out you can expect to wait at least a week and they will all tell you the same thing, you guessed it, it's your router or modem and nothing is wrong on Mediacom's end. I personally have had 4+ different technicians to my house and always the same thing. I know Comcast gets a bad rap for their service instability but in comparison to Mediacom they are flawless. In short, I would highly recommend that you look anywhere other than Mediacom for your internet service and if you are in the same boat as me and they are your only choice, I feel your pain brotha/sista. TV service isn't bad though so you could get that from them, price like their internet however.

    We have very limited service providers where I live. It's either DISH or Mediacom and other people that I knew used Mediacom at the time so I went with it. My experience with them was good but I've had problems ever since they switched over to TiVo. When they hooked me up to TiVo on May 19th, the guy has been back to my house four or five times. And, there's no telephone number that I can call and talk to a real person so I had to go over to the local office to talk to somebody. However, they expect me to unplug and screw etc when I'm not a tech person. I want them to come and hook me up. They tie up half a day every time they come and I too would have to be here for half a day and stay home, and then it doesn't work.

    I am now waiting, again, for them to put a different modem in and try and see if that works. It's been a real struggle for the last couple months. When the guy's here, there's a dial tone but when he leaves, within half an hour there's no dial tone. All the people that have come here and worked have been super. It's the equipment that's a crap. They did not send me a brand new stuff when I signed up for it. It's all refurbished and it hasn't worked since they put it in. So, I'm unhappy at the moment.

    On 12-16-16, I submitted a review voicing my displeasure with Mediacom Customer Service titled No Service. Brief overview, I had made 3 appointments with Mediacom Technicians to set up my internet. They failed to show up in the time frame they gave me. I had taken time off work to accommodate the times. I ended up calling their customer service line and spoke with a woman who was nice but referred me to her manager. Her manager was rude, unprofessional and not accommodating at all. I then posted reviews on this site and Facebook. The response from those post were more positive and accommodating than the lady I spoke to directly. My review on this site was disputed by the company... I laughed.

    However, I eventually had my internet hooked up. The internet service since has been good. I have not had outages, reduced speeds or price increases, that I am aware of. In my experiences Mediacom has good service as far as internet, TV and phone but lacks in customer service. The main people who helped me were the ones off Facebook for which I am very appreciative.

    I have had the unfortunate experience of having Mediacom as the Internet, cable TV and telephone service provider for nearly three years now. Since the HOA fees for my neighborhood incorporates a portion of the bundled services into the monthly dues, I'm stuck. I don't have to like the substandard service, I can even go sign up with Dish or Direct, but I am obligated to continue paying. That said, I'm not sure it would make a difference. I will say that the employees who man the phones and have to handle the complaints do a pretty good job. Most exhibit an the ability to listen to the issue(s), lend an empathetic tone and even apologize for the problems which they are not responsible for.

    Like many internet providers, the signal is periodically slow or connectivity is completely lost; it happens, I get it. I don't think it's particularly worse than the competition. But I can't recall a single time when I've contacted Mediacom and had it confirmed that either anyone else has reported a similar problem, they will confirm an outage in my service area. Never. Doesn't happen. Never mind the numerous times I have seen a Mediacom truck and field technicians working on the neighborhood "box" from my window while on the phone being told, "No, absolutely no problems or outage in your area". I don't think they're lying. I suspect the company chooses not to provide their telephone reps with that info, that it's corporate policy to never admit under any circumstances that their service is out.

    So, what can they do to help me? Well, that leaves the rep with two choices: a) Walk the customer through a self-help course of shutting everything down, unplugging, disconnecting and restarting. The interactive approach to service. I admit there have been a couple of times when that has been the appropriate course of action, however, in most cases it's a joke, waste of time and a stall (remember to look out the window first for the Mediacom truck and field technicians).

    But what's the alternative? Well, plan b) is to make an appointment for a tech to come out and see what's wrong. "No, problem, we can have someone out there in just 9 days." Really? You're serious? I have no service and NO ONE CAN BE HERE FOR 9 DAYS? Now both the telephone rep and I are fairly certain that the outage that supposedly isn't an outage will likely be fixed long before that so in the end I'll just be thrilled when I find that later that day or evening, it's miraculously working again. How lucky am I? Oh, and since I have the bundle, my telephone (land line) is usually out, too.

    I guess the miracle is that Mediacom isn't in the cellular phone business, too. Yet, chronic problems with the cable TV service are by far the worst. I have lost track of the number of times I have turned on the TV to discover that the sound is not working, the picture is corrupted or numerous channels are just not available at that time, whether live or recorded. My guess is that it's been Dozens and dozens of times.

    Time to get back on the phone to Mediacom. What? The wait time is 5-10 minutes? I learn this after 10 minutes of navigating the diversionary answering service? What? The call volume doesn't even permit me the opportunity to hold? I better try later. OK, back to wait time is 5-10 minutes. Hey, how come I keep getting that recording every minute or so that tells me it's going to be another 5-10 minutes? Wait! It's ringing, I think I'm going to get through! Uh! No! Back on hold! ANOTHER 5-10 minutes? Wait! I've been disconnected...

    Fast forward to when I actually get through, talk to an empathetic, nearly apologetic telephone rep who's not only sending someone out to fix this, he's sending a SUPERVISOR and it will only be 3 DAYS, but I'm on a waiting list for an earlier appointment. Right. And when said SUPERVISOR does show up, he laments on the ongoing problems with the system, equipment, employee turnover, yadda, yadda, yadda but not to worry; prior to his coming out, everyone else who has been out to work on this problem before him has actually screwed it up, but (you guessed it) HE'S going to fix it RIGHT! Not only that, but he's leaving me his business card with his DIRECT NUMBER. So, in the extremely unlikely phenomenon that another problem should ever occur, just give him a call and he'll take care of it right away.

    I believe this scenario typically happens on the SUPERVISORS' last day with the company, on his very last call, right before he decides he's working way too hard for too little money and way too much grief. The only remedy is to drive off with a big smile on his face knowing he's heard the last of the countless miserable, complaining Mediacom customers who will NEVER be happy because they'll never be able to say "Yeah, it goes out once in a while, but they usually take care of it without too much hassle".

    No, I'll never be able to say that as long as I'm stuck paying for the worst cable, Internet and telephone service in the developed world. They're just that bad.

    PS. I've written this while waiting to get through to customer service due to the chronic TV issue which results in corrupted, garbled picture and sound, both live and recorded, affecting channels randomly, just two days after a technician was here, who in fact, said it was installed incorrectly by someone before him but should be just fine now. It's not. But it should only be another 5-10 minutes wait time. PSS. I got through and was told it should only be 3 days (max) for a technician to be here. No order number was provided.

He then decided to leave because the supervisor was backed up. After 3 hours my tv still didn't work. He left me his cell number to call. I waited another hour and the TV worked. It took the whole day I was exhausted. They seemed to just take their time. I had a dog in the bedroom getting anxious. Really ridiculous.

    Recently had cable system upgrade and added internet. Upgrade was a disaster - took 8 hrs +, tech replaced all lines and then determined distribution system was not correctly calibrated. Our original service was underground and was cut and replaced with another cable that was left laying on the ground for 2-3 weeks. Modem has been replaced 4 times and we have had continual spot outages. Very apparent that Mediacom did not have this system prepared for this big rollout that they promoted. The local installers and service people were giving a great effort, but dealing with junk equipment and a distribution system that had not been properly validated.

    When calling customer service to report local outages, the agent would go thru checking the system and then schedule a service call out 1 -2 weeks. They did not want to hear that is was an external problem with their system. Three times I reported outages and got treated like it was in my system when it was a Mediacom system issue. I was trying to alert them to the problem, and they refused to acknowledge they needed to send a local tech to check out the system. All these were eventually solved within hours, with no visit to our premises. The phone service agents are clueless and totally ineffective.

    I am trying to be very patient, but believe that the corporate management has totally bungled this so-called upgrade and launched it prematurely. Things are getting better, but if problems continue and the call center agents don't acknowledge their responsibility, the nightmare will continue. I have been a customer for as long as Mediacom has owned this system, and the last 2 months have been brutal. For a communications company, you do not demonstrate any customer communication skills.

    I have had trouble with my internet since early this year. In March, I purchased a new router and modem because Mediacom said that was my problem. Since then, 4 techs have been at my house and a maintenance man who said my house was the problem of a common complaint from neighborhood Mediacom Services. The maintenance man said the connector was old and was in water, even though the box was closed at that time. He sent someone out to fix the connector and box. The connector was replaced, but the box was left open and water really did accumulate in the box. When the next tech came out, I gave him some zip ties to secure the box. Another tech came out for no internet and error codes per Mediacom Tech line via phone. Another Mediacom tech came out, got the internet going for a short period of time.

    Called in, again. Error codes are present and they agreed to send out a tech. The tech said base access could have been part of the issue, as well as some connectors in a separate box that the other 2 techs missed. However, the internet still wasn't right and he said he wanted to speak with a maintenance person about it because I was the last person on the loop and no other issues were found. All of the techs were very courteous, for which I am thankful. However, I am still without internet.

    So, I called into Mediacom, again, not to mention the 2 times I visited our local branch off of Avalon where a lady said no one may ever get back with me about the service if maintenance had to be involved. I found out on that phone call to Mediacom that someone made an appointment for Saturday July, 8th, but no one had notified me of the appointment. I am still without internet and am really unsure what another tech is going to do to solve the issue. Sincerely, Hopeful Mediacom Customer.

    Yes, my experience has been THAT bad. If I had an option, I would have gone with another internet provider but, sadly, Mediacom is the only game in town. In the last month, I've made at least five calls about lost internet connections. Two days ago, I found that the download and upload speed is just 20% of what it should be and, sadly, can't get someone in to check that for another week. What's worse is that we've been stood up by the technician who is to relocate our cable FOUR TIMES! Yes, after waiting for three 12-hour time blocks, we finally got Mediacom to give us a 4-hour window and were stood up AGAIN!

    We've been held hostage a total of 40 hours so far and Mediacom doesn't seem to care. If the initial tech would have followed our instructions about where to bury the cable in the first place, to avoid future construction, this wouldn't be an issue but... This is the worst utility experience I've had in my life! Oh, and the best part is the offer to refund two weeks of charges "based on the successful replacement of the cable" (which will likely never occur) and the offer of a $20 credit for my 40 wasted hours. Wow. Employees at McDonald's make more than $.50/hour! Praying Verizon comes to my area soon.

    I have a home office, so I am on the internet continually. We typically have TV or radio playing through the sound system and I’ll typically watch something recorded on TiVo in the evening for a couple of hours. I chose Mediacom because ImOn is not available where I’m at. The sales team was fine and I got cable TV and internet, which were in a special. However, the installation process was a pain. The first person came out but didn’t install anything right because Mediacom didn’t send me the proper modem. I asked him if he could at least give me the internet, but he said he had to install it all or he can't install anything, then he just left.

    When the second person came out, he didn’t install everything properly. I had to try to get Mediacom service for two weeks before they ever came out and made sure the phone was working right. So, the service actually suck and my cable and my phone didn’t work at all. I had to get a contract person that I knew, who came out and charged me $200 to hook up my sound system and my cable properly. I’ve never liked Mediacom and I can't stand them. I was anxious to get rid of them before and I’ll be anxious to get rid of them because of their poor service and poor followup as soon as ImOn comes on to the southwest side of Cedar Rapids.

    I've had Mediacom for years. Their sales team was pretty good and fast and the installer was great. Right now, I have their internet, phone and cable services. I got the highest internet and I also got the TiVo, which is more convenient because it makes everything wireless. My kids use the services every day. Mediacom has been great and they have a quality service. I'd recommend them.

    I've had Mediacom for 15 years. Their cable service works good and we're satisfied with it. On the other hand, we have a cable box on our TV in the front room which I had paid extra for, but I don't get a lot of channels on my TVs both in the kitchen and one bedroom. I was always told that I had to have another box for those rooms and I don't know if I want to pay extra for that.

    We just got the most recent bill after upgrading our internet and getting the package that was "too good to be true" and it wasn't true. Here's the breakdown, and MIND YOU, I ASKED if there were any hidden fees and was told there are NO hidden fees. Bundled Services - $69.98, Individual Services - $19.02, Partial Month Activity - $16.33, One-time Charges and Credits - $29.00, Taxes and Fees - $13.68, Amount Due - $141.10.

    So, a change of our plan was $69.98. What is the "individual services" "One time charge and credit" etc. You can't imagine what a shock it was to get this bill! I have been with your service since the 2000's. We had a 2 year lag when we moved to South Carolina. When we returned we used Mediacom again. We are faithful customers to you and this is how you treat us? Shame on you!

    I've had Mediacom for nearly five months now. The internet sometimes does not work for several days. Sometimes I log on, only to be logged off after three minutes!!!! Repeated this for hours and gave up. I reset the net. Nothing. No signal. Internet works for a few days then down again. I'm constantly worried that the net won't work. I call customer support. They blame it on the wiring in the apartments I live in. They offer me a credit. The bill comes and I get nothing. They told me a technician will come to my apartment for a second time at 9:00 am. I wait and wait and wait. After 3 in the afternoon I gave up. No credit and no one came when they were supposed to. I'm disappointed and frustrated.

    I've lived in about four different places and I've always had Mediacom. I've had them for 40 plus years and I've never had a problem. I lost my husband two years ago and I'm on low income. We had a lot of money problems but I wanted to keep Mediacom because I have my computer and phone and the bill just kept going up. So, I called customer service to cancel. I was gonna take my phone out, really buckle down and get rid of most of my TV channels and they helped me save about $63 a month so I could stay with them.

    I was having trouble with the phone until they connected me to the phone department and the girl there helped me. Most of my problem was that I had a set of VTech phones. I live in a one-bedroom apartment so I don’t need the double phones like I used to have. I opted to just get a single phone because I had lost a couple of things. I'm supposed to have a caller ID and it didn’t work on my phone. Then I have an HD TV and it usually shows up on my screen, and that quit working as well. The rep told me that there was a light that went out. So I bought a single phone to put it in and if I have trouble with that, they will also help me see what they can do. They are always polite and once I get to talk to a real person that I can understand, they just work with me.

    Mediacom has better internet services and that's why I decided to use them. I don’t have to go a certain place in my house to be connected and although I didn't understand it a lot, I like the TiVo. They also upgraded. There weren't too much connections when my mom had Mediacom when I was younger so from then till now, I give it at least 85 to a 90% to their services. The installation took about two hours for everything to be set up and that irritated me a lot. But other than that, we were good to go.

    I had the phone, the TiVo, and the internet but I ended up getting it canceled days later due to interruptions of the connections. And then I also had a personal issue and I couldn’t afford it at the time. Otherwise, I still told them people that I would definitely come back when my finances are a lot better because it was a great deal and I love their services. The people are always nice and there’s never a rude moment. They always got back to me when I would have to call the customer service so it's a 100% quality throughout all of the in person and on the phone interaction. My whole family always goes through Mediacom including my mom and even my grandma so I'm not going anywhere. I would definitely recommend Mediacom over anybody.

    I've been with Mediacom over 4 years now... the internet service is by FAR THE WORST IN BALDWIN COUNTY. I've had a ongoing issue since MARCH. They've sent out 5 technicians, none of them have resolved the issue. They've all thrown their hands up and stated, "I DONT KNOW!!!" They're passing the torch to different departments and trying to get me to invest in a business account because it offers same day tech support, but it will increase my bill... the business department does not even understand why they would suggest that. Supervisors are taking over the calls but are not calling back. I guess it's going to take them to sending out their entire team of technicians to come up with a workable resolution!!! The worst part in all this is that they're the ONLY INTERNET PROVIDER IN OUR AREA... I've been missing work because of their inconsistent service but I'm expected to continue to pay for inconsistent service.

    I’m very pleased with Mediacom and I never had to call them. They treated me very nicely and have no fault with the service I get but my biggest problem is Mediacom charging me too much for no more stations than I watch. I live alone and on a fixed income. I can’t afford $120 a month for cable and I can get it from any other place for about $35. It's a lot of expense that I'm going to have to work out. I watch television from day to night but it's only about three stations that I watch. Therefore I don't need all these upper channels and they promised me that they would never raise the prices during the time I've signed up for two years but they raised it twice.

    I want to scale down to less stations and a cheaper price but they kept telling me I can't do this because I’m locked until August before I can get it changed. I'm a little unhappy with them right now and in fact, I'm looking into some other providers. But I've been with Mediacom for a number of years and I'm never late with payments. So, once in a while I would like to have a favor done my way.

    I use Mediacom for our TV and computer. Their sales team was perfectly happy to sell their services and the installer explained things if I asked him to. The installation was as quick as it could be. Their service quality is reliable. I don’t watch a whole lot of television but it's there when I need it. I usually use it for a couple of hours a day. I like the MeTV station and that’s about all I watch but I would like to have a few minutes of news and weather on top of the hour. That would be great. On the other hand, I don’t use their internet as much as the television. I'm elderly so although I've had them for years, they're still like new to me. Sometimes they get confusing and I call on the children to help and they're more than happy to do it. I use my computer once a week but not nearly as often as a younger person would.

    Original Review: June 26, 2017

    I am a Mediacom Cable customer for a while. I have auto-payment set up for years. I have just Internet connection only. In 2017 Jan my bill was increased from 45 to 55 sending a letter they have more expenses recently. Somehow I missed that letter and found it recently while cleaning up home. I called up and said I cannot afford the increase and request to cancel the service. The agent told with 7 days my service will be cancelled and a representative will call and talk to me reason for cancellation and I was told I will be notified before disconnect. 2 weeks passed, no call from them, service is still ON. I am confused when to schedule my appointment with CenturyLink. 3 weeks passed on and all of sudden 4th week my service is off.

    I called them and asked I did not get any call before disconnect and here is the reason I got from them. When I asked I was told an agent will call in 7 days about cancellation. She said, there is no record in their system I made a call to them. Then I asked why my service is cancelled. She said I did not made payments for 1.5 months which is never true. I did not made the payments for 1.5months and hence the reason the service was off. I told I have auto-payment and never took off. She said she don't know the reason then.

    So, they don't have a record that I called them for cancellation. My big surprise is they don't know why auto-payment is taken off. There is a huge discrepancy if they are wantedly doing this NOT to keep the notes so that they can say, "There is nothing like this on the system you called," or "There is nothing like we told you before". This is happening for me 4-5 times in last 6-7 years. They are not giving any physical proof or digital proof. We just need to accept what they say.

    At the beginning of the call, I got a automated message my service is scheduled to cancel for next Monday (today), but it was cancelled 2 days before. When I ask them to put back on service (until I find another provider) as it was cancelled before it is scheduled, they put me on NEW monthly bill of 69.99/month where my actual reason of cancellation was increasing from 45 to 55 USD.

    It is very hard for me to believe I just need to accept what the agent is saying with her rude voice and not believing any of our words and their biggest known issue is not maintaining data in their systems knowingly. When I talk to 4-5 of my neighbors, not even a single person told at least little positive about their company. Most of them have some issues and don't have time to debate with them, but I wonder seeing 4-star rating here. Yelp had 1 star from 30 reviews.

Changed it out multiple times and still same issues. Now if you tell me that you value your customers and you're going to "personally look into this issue", AND to download the app to track outages, really? Honestly basically that is just lip service. Fix the internet problem so we can do the things we need to do when we need to without lagging, lagging and more lagging, or better yet give me reliable service so I have internet that I pay good money for.
