My service is down again, so I am writing this on my cellphone. (Thank you MediaCom for making me use my data unnecessarily again). This happens several times a week. They have replaced or supposedly fixed their modems installed in our house at least three times in the few years we have been with them. The last time was just a few weeks ago. There was a service call scheduled, and no one showed up and no one called. Why should we as consumers have to pay for service that we are unable to use. We have phone, cable, and internet through them. So, when service goes out, our phones do not work.
I have 2 teenage sons that in an emergency, I am not secure in knowing the phones will be working when they need them. Calling customer service is an absolute waste of time. We have spent hours on the phone with these people and get nowhere. We are getting tired of paying for junk service from a greedy company that could care less. I buy a shirt with a defect, I get a refund. The small business I work for makes a mistake, we have to compensate the customer. Why does MediaCom have the right to charge for service its customers are not receiving, and they are not fixing?
Good morning Chris,
We sincerely apologize about the experience. We will look into the issues further and provide the feedback to our teams. We will also be dispatching a tech out to your residence today from 08:00 AM to 12:00 PM to get all service issues repaired. Since services are down, we will make sure to credit you for the down time so you aren’t paying for something you aren’t getting.
Thank you,Christian

I've had Mediacom for years and their reps have been nice. However, I don't understand why my bill is so high all the time. I just had it paid down and today, I got a bill for $200+. I only got basic cable and I have Showtime on for $6+. I don't know how to understand the bill. I got it all down and then, it's so high again. Nonetheless, I like the cable services because if something is wrong, their techs usually come to fix it. We have a whole bunch of channels and they are good. I just wish they have more movies on some of the channels since all of us like watching movies. I just can't afford the big movie channels.
Good morning Brigitte,
Thank you very much for your long time valued Mediacom business as it is greatly appreciated. What is your normal monthly rate supposed to be that you are aware of? We can discuss the billing more in depth if you private message us or call our support center. At the moment, it looks like there have been some late fees due to the account being 1-cycle behind which is causing the higher rate. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us for assistance and to ask for inquiries on lower packages/bundles. Have a wonderful day!

We’ve got phone, Wi-Fi and cable from Mediacom, and my experience with their sales team was fine. They said I could have three more hookups with the service I was getting. However, when I got here, I discovered that they wouldn’t drill through the house to do it. And I had one bedroom that I wanted the service in that they were gonna have to go through either the basement walls or into the siding. So, we didn’t get that done. But that turned out to be no big deal. The installation was fine. The guy was rushed but it all worked out fine. The cable is off a bit sometimes, which surprised me a little. But it’s not unusual here. I have a Kindle which I use a lot as I read quite a bit and I order stuff from Amazon, and their internet speed seems decent..
Good morning Gary,
Thank you for choosing us as your preferred service provider as it is greatly appreciated.

I had Dish Network before and I was dissatisfied with their service. Their sales team came by, talked to me, and said that I would be getting the same channels as I did before, but they didn't say that they were gonna take five channels away from me. I'm a baseball nut and it was advertised that a game was coming on that night. I sat there and waited for the ball game to come on, but as soon as the game was supposed to start I was notified that due to unauthorized channels the game would not be showing. This happened three times. Then one night, as I was watching TV, I got up and went into the kitchen to get a drink of water. But when I came back, the channels had changed. I'm with Mediacom now and I don't have those problems. I've had their TV service for a few months now and I'm really happy with them. My experience with them went great. I like everything about Mediacom and I wouldn't switch now for anything.

Mediacom was the only cable company that was available to us 30 years ago and we’ve always been with them. As soon as we had cable, we got connected with them. We wanted to be able to get cable so we could get good reception. We now have Mediacom's internet service too. My husband who passed away four months ago was the one that used the internet. But I have grandkids that come out once in a while and they have smartphones. So, I keep the internet service for that, although I don’t do the internet, the computer or the iPad. I called Mediacom a while back to see if I could get my rate lowered a little, but they said they couldn’t do anything about that. So, I’ve been thinking about discontinuing my service with them and looking to see what else is out there. If people don’t use the service much, they should not be charged as much as people that use it all the time, but it seems like they are doing that.
Good morning Cathy,
We want to thank you for your longtime valued Mediacom business as it is greatly appreciated. Since you have cable service and internet service, you’re saving money due to having two base services. Also, it looks like some of your pricing has been grandfathered in which is great. Unfortunately, we don’t have many offers that are just standalone cable service at a promotional rate. We also don’t have internet service where it is pay as you go. We hope we can retain your valued Mediacom business.

My son and I are enjoying Mediacom. We kept CenturyLink for years and they kept increasing their rates. Plus, they said I had to have a dish for DirecTV. I didn't want a dish on my house or a pole. That was when my son explained Mediacom. I said, "I'm gonna go there and I'll go with that. I'll change." We're real pleased. We have the whole setup - the phone, the internet and the TV. I was pleased with the people that put it in. They explained everything, and everything went smooth. They stayed and made sure everything worked right, and went over the remote. Mediacom is not costing me as much as CenturyLink. And at my age, that helps too and I don't like changes. I'm pleased the service.

We're not too satisfied with our cable service but we just keep it anyway. We weren’t getting HBO and all the 50’s. We got digital and it wasn’t coming in. Mediacom Cable came out and did a little bit, but they didn’t really do anything. So, we called them and they came out again. The service comes and goes. The representatives said once that it might have to be rewired. They also said sometimes, those up in the 50’s takes a higher frequency. I don’t understand what they're talking about. But Hallmark comes in. That’s one we watch quite a bit.
For a long time, I'm up a lot at night. So, 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning, it goes off and the box has a code there, and you call it, but it doesn’t do any good to call. Sometimes it comes back, and sometimes it doesn’t. But I thought Mediacom may charge us $29 for doing nothing. We have two digitals, and the other is in that little box. I pay $399 a month for them and they do all right.
Good morning Judy,
We sincerely apologize about your experience and any service issues that you might be experiencing. It looks like our most recent tech indicated that the residence needs a new coax line fish which we don’t conduct. For this type of work, you would have to reach out to an electrician.

I use Mediacom for my business and home and have always had problems with their service and billing most resent was for my business (I have phone cable and internet) my contract had been up and Mediacom was imposing a rate increase plus the renewal of my contract for 3 years a rep of Mediacom by the name of Justin had contacted me for the contract renewal. After playing phone tag with him for 2 weeks we finally got together and I signed the new contract electronically. Justin also informed me that I would be getting credited the extreme amount I had been getting overbilled from the time my contract expired that it would only take a couple billing periods to show up (my price went up from approx. $95.00 a month to $223.00 per month the new contracted price was $129.95).
So for the past 5 months I had been getting overbilled approx. $100.00 by them, I again contacted Justin and he said he would get back to me after he checked on it a week no word from him I again contacted him and he said that there was a mix-up in paperwork and he would let me know when it was straightened out. Again no word from him or anyone else. All of a sudden my computer was down and I couldn’t connect. They sent a service guy out and he said that my wireless was cut off and I needed a new modem. He also said that the person reviewing my account had probable cut it off because I wasn’t paying for it. No courtesy call or warnings whatsoever. I had no idea that I wasn’t paying for it or it wasn’t included. Anyways still no word on my billing problem. This company is a big ripoff and I’m sick and tired of their games with billing and service.

I've been with Mediacom for 12 years but I'm only here for six months out of the year and then I put my service on hold. The front desk people that I've talked to have been very polite and helpful, making it as easy as possible to get the service turned on and off. The only problems that I had while I'm here this season is when one of the service techs came out and by accident, turned my service off because he was doing something for another person behind me. At that time, I didn’t know that’s what it was and I had a hard time finding somebody to come out and fix the problem. I was without service for almost three weeks because it was really a busy time. So I was frustrated about that.
I also went through the same thing for about 10 days when I first got here. So it was like I paid for a month of service that I didn’t have. The first time was in November and the second time was towards the end of January and the first week of February. I asked them to credit me a month of service but I haven't seen anything yet about it. Nonetheless, when the service is on, I'm very happy with it.
Good afternoon Linda,

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

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

I’ve been with Mediacom since 2001. All the other cable and internet companies here suck and Mediacom is just the better of the worst of all evils. I have usage issues every single day. My son is in high school and he has a tablet to do his homework so when the internet is down, he has to go to other people’s houses to do his homework. I've called and I’ve had them come out four times this year. And usually when the techs come in, they don’t tell me what’s going on. They'd just go down and say that everything is fixed and then they leave. They made me feel like I’m in the wrong. They made it seem like they’re coming in for no reason and I don’t know if they’re putting that on the paperwork.
Initially, the techs said the problem was the box. So, they kept swapping out boxes saying that was the key, but it wasn’t. The problem is outside of my house in the cable somewhere and it is getting jumbled up. The problem is usually the wireless internet, not the cable. We get Netflix and we can never get on Netflix because our internet’s down. We don’t even watch Netflix anymore because when my kids watch a TV show, the internet would drop halfway through so they'd get pissed and then they'd blame me. One tech told me that I had to get rid of my TVs so that my internet would work better. But we only use three and I only have one box. So, I only get the stuff that I pay for on one one TV only. The other two only get the basic things. I went to the office and told their rep what their tech said and she laughed. Those are the kind of techs that are sent into my home. They have no clue what they’re doing. There are some really good ones though.
Nevertheless, they have really good people that work for them and they really help. They know that there are issues and that the service is not always perfect. When you go into their office, they are super understanding and they would say, "We get it." I know it’s not their fault. I just don’t like paying money for things that should work properly but aren’t being fixed. The cable is just too expensive. I’m a single mom and I’m paying 150 a month for both internet and cable which is crazy. I wouldn’t mind paying it but it consistently have problems and I got tired of calling so I just left it. If it works, it's okay, if it doesn’t, it's okay too.

In Gulf Shores, AL we have one choice, it's Mediacom. Our Services has a tendency to go out a lot. Not sure if it’s because of corrosion, salt air etc, but I suspect poor management locally. My service has been out now for well over a week, (that I know of) I called repeatedly to get someone out to fix the problem, which we now believe strongly through deduction to be on the pole. The pole in front of my house is an embarrassment and looks like a spaghetti dinner, wires all over the place. I was told by a neighbor that they had issues with service for 2 weeks, I was also told that a bucket truck had been out a day before we arrived in town working on the pole. Who knows??
I complained. I needed service for business (not to play video games). They set an appointment for the 20th, yesterday and then also promptly cancelled due to no one around to get the job done. This house is a second home, not our main residence. In addition, I went to lunch on Saturday and saw 2 Mediacom trucks sitting in the parking lot of Mediacom with 4 guys in the trucks, I came back 1 1/2 hours later to still see these same guys sitting in the trucks. I asked them if they had me on the list to be checked out, they said no. As soon as I pulled out, they both pulled out. Break time was over a long time ago I’m sure.
Again, poor management from the top locally I’m sure not paying attention. When you are the only game in town you can get away with this poor service. I am hoping the city of Gulf shores brings in competition to give these guys a run for their money, they will be gone. As it stands now, I still have no service, appointments cancelled, I have renters coming who are expecting service, not going to happen, pathetic service for Mediacom.

First off, I want to be sure to state that I have no issues with the Installers and/or technicians that came to fix my internet issues. These events took place over a 5 week span. Initially my internet service degraded to a point where I would sometimes noted speeds in excess of 60mbps, other times it would register less than 1MBPS.
The first technician noted we would need a different router, reasonable, however he did not have one on the truck. I truly wonder how a business that installs internet services pretty much daily, however that was the case. The best info that tech had was that they were coming within a few days. An appointment was set for the following Monday (6 days later) to install. No one showed up. No one called to cancel the appointment, another appointment was set up and they missed that one. We called Mediacom back and they set up another appointment. The tech came a few days later, and informed us the router was fine, and we were getting a full signal to the router, and it was working at that moment, and told us we needed to buy a WiFi extender. The problems continued.
There was also an issue with a neighbors system in that they installed a better router and were set up with a higher speed. There were issues with that system, and the eventually uninstalled the new system. We were told that the solution may be to buy our own router. The building manager and I spent more than 20 combined hours researching the possible issues. The building supplies the internet service and she stepped up and at least attempted to find a solution. Overall this process ran over a 5 week span.

It was my previous provider that disconnected the service, and it’s becoming a little hassle right now, but I’m not blaming Mediacom. But so far, all my family is pretty happy with the TV.
The guy that did my contract seemed to be professional, but there might be a little problem with the guys that work out on the field trying to get sales and people at the office. They have to be a little bit more communicative. The salespeople should be able to have a better contact with the office so both parties are on the same page. Other than that, I’m happy with the services. The move that I did so far is working out because the internet is faster. I would recommend Mediacom.

In Dec. 2018 we contacted Mediacom Home Security because our smoke alarm and motion detector sensors were not working. Service tech came and tried 4 different smoke detectors and all were giving false alarms. The tech removed the smoke detector indicating that he would follow up and schedule a replacement. After two months, I contacted Mediacom to try and get the problem resolved and get partial pro-rated account credit for the 2 months without fire/smoke protection.
The customer service rep I spoke with told me that it was my problem because I had not contacted them sooner to tell them the smoke detector wasn't working (even though their rep removed the detector and never followed up). I attempted to explain the situation but the rep on the phone failed to listen to the details, continued to blame me for not calling sooner, indicated that there was no way to obtain partial credit to the account and continued to talk over me throughout the "conversation". Finally I relented and said forget about any account credit and let's just get the problem resolved. He then scheduled an appointment for today to troubleshoot the smoke detector (which is not here).
Completely exasperated. I am waiting for the tech to show up between 1 and 5 pm (not here yet, it's 4 pm). I have never experienced a more frustrating "customer service" interaction where I was accused of being the source of the problem and the rep claimed that they had no record of the outcome of the prior service call. The 3-year contract is up in May, in more ways than one.

We’ve been a customer of Mediacom Cable for a long time and our experience with the company has been good throughout the years. Back at the time, I didn’t think all of the other internet or cable providers were available and I didn’t know anything about them. My husband is 89 and I’m 86, we don’t have a computer, our phone is with AT&T, and we have just the regular program for the TV that we watch, but the cost of the service has just gone up to $110 for us. On the other hand, my son and his wife have a computer and they have the TV, their phone, and the internet on the same program with Mediacom, but they only pay 130 something. So, it seems to me that for what we get, it's is getting to be very expensive for us.
The cost has gradually gone up. Also, one thing they do that I don’t agree with is that the service fee went up to $105 and there was no notice that it was being raised. Then just recently, with the last bill, it went up to $110. I don’t think it’s a good practice to raise a person’s bill with no explanation. Other than that, the customer service interactions that we’ve had with the representatives were good experiences. Everything was fine and everything went well.
Good morning Connie,
Thank you for your longtime valued Mediacom business as it is greatly appreciated. We are glad to hear your experience has been good with us. We do apologize about any rate increases. We try to keep our rates as low as possible but it is difficult to do so because of programming costs, re-transmission fees, maintenance expenses, and the increases of taxes/surcharges. Rates will step up annually until a bundle or package reaches full price rate. Any other increases should have been noted in the last 1-2 billing statements. Also, when you bundle with more than one base service, service rates are lower for a 12-month period but after that it will increase. We hope this information helps and please reach out to us to see if we have any available offers to help lower your service rate. Have a wonderful day!

I'm totally dissatisfied with Mediacom. We were promised what our monthly payment would be after they deducted the $15 a month for three years. That's not true. Then, we found out that we're supposed to be getting a $200 credit card. I haven't got an answer on that one yet. Some people say you do, some people say you don't. Also, they set it up to have everything here to install it on the 4th of January. The equipment wasn't even here yet. So, then we had to back set it to the 11th of January. The equipment showed up and we got everything hooked up. And the next thing we know, we'd be scrolling through their guide to find something to look at, and it just starts flying through them all by itself. Then, we started getting the checkerboard channel, and we'd lose volume or checkerboard picture. So, then we finally got somebody here. We came to find out it's the box. They give us all of these excuses.
Now, I'm waiting. A guy named Jim was supposed to call me back, and I missed a call, but he left me a message and said he would call me today. A week and a half ago before that, I talked to some other guy that said he was some type of supervisor. He's supposed to get everything straight. The original lady that we talked to, Angela, came through with this whole deal and told us everything and what it was gonna be. She also gave us a phone number and an extension. But that is totally worthless because you call the phone number and you get to all these recordings. You can't get to that extension. Nobody knows Angela. Nobody knows anything, but her actions got this ball rolling.
They should get rid of automated answering machines and hire people to answer a telephone! Also, they should make sure they know what they are talking about! I don't know how many calls I made, and it was totally ridiculous! Now, I've got a good idea of why my neighbor had them hook it up, and two weeks later, he had it disconnected.
I was told in the beginning that it would be $187 a month for three years after getting the $15 a month discount for click and switch. So, that hasn't happened. Another person told me, "Oh, well, it's gonna go up 20 bucks a year, every year! That's not gonna be so. You're gonna pay every year. It's gonna jump up $20 a year." So, now instead of my bill being 187, it's gonna be 202! It's totally ridiculous! It's nothing but one big gamut of lies! I would not recommend them. I got no choice but to keep them now. I switched my emails, my computer, my telephone, my TV to them! And then in the beginning, when they'd done it all, before the guy walked out of the house and hooked it all up, we had to give $254 and then got a bill right away for the first month!

So far, Mediacom's service is good. But I haven’t always been happy with Mediacom. The first time was lousy. They kept me on the phone for a service call for 90 minutes, and I hung up the phone and drove down town and gave them the equipment and said, “We’re done.” But I was mad at another cable company, and Mediacom was local. So I went back to them.
I have their phone, cable, and internet services. I've had a problem with Fox News. It seems to me like they’re afraid somebody’s gonna say something, so they block the sound. But it could be Fox News. Also, when I call the service, I have no idea where they’re located. It’s probably a long distance call, but I get a recording and they try to fix the TV. And it’s hilarious because all you really want to do is talk to a live person because, usually, the problem isn't anything that the automated thing is trying to fix for you. I hate that. By the time I'm done with that, I have to take a few deep breaths not to take it out on the live person who’s going to help me. The internet has been fine. I have been drawn off the internet by whatever’s happening in the city. But I’ve always been able to get back on. So, I’ve really not had any problems.

I unexpectedly sold my home and ever since I moved into this condominium, I’ve had trouble. I’ve had at least four young technicians here at the house because my phones just go out. Now, my kitchen phone is hooked to a modem and even it was out. It took a week to get anybody from Mediacom to look at it for me. The technicians told me twice that I needed a new phone, so I bought new ones. The bedroom phone never would work and my neighbor came over and moved my brand-new phone to four different jacks in this condominium. There is no power at the jacks so I bought two new phones I probably didn’t need.
I finally got a young man yesterday. He finally explained that Mediacom doesn’t take care of those jacks. It has to be an electrician and told me what kind of phones to go get. Our weather has been horrible so I have not gone out to get different phones. The servicemen could have taken such a short time to check my phones with the jacks in the wall and found out that the jacks were dead. Then, I wouldn't have had to buy two new phones. Those were perfectly good ones and I disposed of them because they told me they were dead. The first time, I was to buy a new battery, which I did. Then I bought a new phone and finally, the same kid said that he was gonna bring me a new modem. He could've done that the first time. Most of the young people who come for Mediacom do the least thing they can do. They don’t want to work.
When I called Mediacom’s main office and talked to someone there, they were very polite and helpful. However, they're not in Red Oak and they don’t see the problem here. All they can do is set up an appointment time. Oftentimes, we have to wait a long time to get any help. Since they are so busy, they must have a lot of problems with Mediacom or they wouldn't be that busy or maybe they don’t have enough help. Hopefully, when I get these new phones, everything will be smooth and I won't have any more problems.
When my cable box went bad, the same young man that Mediacom kept sending back said I needed a new cable box. He was very nice and pleasant to work with except he didn’t work. He came in, brought the cable box in and then, he worked until 7 o'clock and left. I turn my TV and I didn’t have any. So, I got behind my TV and he hadn’t hooked it up. I'm not saying that everywhere Mediacom has the same problem and maybe I'm just too picky, but he could have at least hooked up the TV instead of making an 80-year-old move the stand and get behind the TV and see what was wrong. He put in a black wire but he hadn’t hooked up the red, blue and green. I had to do that myself in order to get a picture.
I'm not very happy with Mediacom but I'm stuck with them because I have a life alert and cellular does not work here because we don’t get AT&T here in Red Oak, Iowa. If I had not signed up for this life alert which has to be hooked up to the modem, I would get rid of Mediacom. They were getting paid and oftentimes, I gave them $29 extra just because they came to the house and they still didn’t solve the problem.

At the time that I moved into the home, Mediacom was the only option as an internet or cable provider so we used them but I've also had them before that. The service has been okay but this past summer, I had a full month of problems with constant outages for internet and cable. Finally, the main service manager from the local office had to come in with a crew and rewire all the walls because the original wiring that the guy from Mediacom did wasn’t very well. He left the wires loose, and then they had to replace the modem and put in a new line outside. That took about two months to bury. I had to keep calling until they came and buried it.
It seems like when you call, it depends on what service agents you get. I know that they can reset the box from the main company and sometimes they would get a service technician that says that they can’t restart the box or the modem and tell me they’re gonna have to send a service provider. Then, I would unplug it and replug it and it finally starts working.
Also, they can lower their rates a little bit. I renegotiated my rates. Two years, it was supposed to be like 170 something and then the next month, I got a note saying that the prices were going up, so now I’m up to 186 in the couple of months, so I’m close to $200. The rate packages are just ridiculous because you’ll get them for one but then they go up $20 a year. And you have to keep doing an oral contract for two or three years and it just keeps going up, so it’s gonna be another $20 next year. And I recently got laid off so I may consider taking the service out altogether. I keep getting letters from Spectrum and now, CenturyLink and Socket are all servicing this area, so I have considered changing because the rates are so high.
Good morning Anna,
We sincerely apologize about your experience. We are glad to hear that services have been working okay now. As far as pricing, if a customer isn’t paying full price rate, rates will normally increase annually until the bundle or package they are in reaches full price rate. At the current moment, you’re in the first year of your contract promotion. To lower your service rate and not break the contract, you could reduce the amount of Tivo units you have or lower your cable service subscription. If this is something you’re interested in doing, please let us know. We look forward to hearing from you. Have a wonderful day!
Thanks,Christian

Our experience with Mediacom has not been easy, but I've been a customer for a long time probably for 15 years. I have cable and internet. One of the things that happened was that a bunch of new services was added to my account that I never asked for, and it took me a couple of months to get that straightened out. These rate raises happen every few months and I only find them out when I go pay the bill. You can't fix anything over the phone. If you have an issue, you have to go and wait in line. They are not very customer-friendly, to be honest. They never give any answer on that in their physical location. I can say that pretty confidently having worked in a place where customer service was important. I never felt like they thought that the customers were more important than the company.
The cost keeps going up and up without any notice or explanation. It's always been a hassle to move because you have to end your account and get a new one, although I recently moved and found out they have a transfer option, which I thought was really nice so that even though I have an account number, it just seemed to go more smoothly. I didn’t have to turn over my equipment and then go get new equipment with a new application, which was only 25 miles away. Overall, I'd say they're somewhat difficult to work with.
Also, there doesn’t seem to be any reward for long-term customers. Nowadays, new customers get great rates, but the people who stood by them the longest don’t get the benefit on any of that. It would be nice to do something for long-term customers, too. I originally went with them because there weren't many options. At first, I did not want this because the reception is poor when there is bad weather or when it is windy. In Iowa, to get those two things pretty frequently. They also keep calling me to try to sell me this package with all three, and I don’t want a landline anymore. They tell you that you could get a discounted package if you get this at least for a while, but it's probably temporary, and they're gonna raise the rates anyway. They, however, haven't pushed for the landline since I moved last December 14th.
Nevertheless, I'm still pretty satisfied with the quality of the service. The problems that I have had have not been because of the product. Rather, they’ve been because of customer service and poor communication. If you're gonna raise rates, let people know. Secondly, if you're gonna make people wait in line for appointments, have an online reservation to make an appointment until 4:00, and so you don’t have to sit there and wait an hour to an hour and a half for whatever the issue is because you can't resolve anything over the phone.
Further, if I need service at home, oftentimes, I don’t know if it's software or hardware. Other than calling in and finding out if there are any outages in my area, it's difficult to find out what the problem is. They may send me the tech support, when in fact that’s not what I need. I'm on the phone with tech support for an hour and a half, and they say, “Well, no. It's a line issue. You have to call Mediacom.” And then I have to call back in, get in line, and make an appointment. I have to wait two weeks. My service was down for two weeks once, and I did not get a credit on my bill. That is ridiculous. While the product is decent, the customer service stinks.

Mediacom could be the worst company that has ever existed. Let’s start with how horrible their actual service is, I’m paying monthly for 100mbps, since having Mediacom for a year now, I can count on 2 hands the times I have actually received those speeds. It’s almost all the time sitting at 30mbps. But Mediacom sure doesn’t miss a chance to bill me for 100mbps. On top of that their service goes out ALL THE TIME. I can’t count all the times we can’t stream, game, or just plain check FB while connected to our internet. It’s faster for me to disconnect from WiFi and use my LTE on my phone, which is utterly ridiculous.
Now let’s talk about customer service, I have always heard Mediacom has the worst customer service and I can attest to this first hand now. I’ll just give you one account of my many run-ins, I called in to let them know my internet was out, after first them trying to make it out to be my fault, and having me run all kinds of self-tests at home they finally said, "We will send a technician, but the soonest we can get a technician to you is 3 weeks out." 3 weeks!!! I said that is unacceptable to which the rep on the phone replied, “well if you were a business account we would prioritize you sooner, sorry 3 weeks is the best we can do.” So being as furious as I was I agreed because I needed internet at some point.
Fast forward 3 weeks, I take off work early to be in their stupid 1-5 time frame of them showing up, to 5 o’clock finally rolling around and there was still no tech. I called in inquiring where he was, mind you I never left my house the entire time frame, but they told me that he tried to stop by but no one was home. I told them that was a lie because I have been here the whole time.
We spent several minutes going back and forth then I finally demanded I speak with a supervisor, I get the supervisor on the phone and he had the worst customer service I have ever encountered anywhere in my life, told me it was my problem not his and the soonest he could have another tech out was 2 weeks away. This is just the most recent encounter, don’t get me started on these “techs” they send to your home. Very unprofessional, most of the time they are dressed sloppy, hair looks like they just rolled out of bed, loud, inconsiderate etc etc. Avoid this company! Fiber is almost ran to our neighborhood and believe me the first chance I get to drop this company I will be. The absolute worst company there is.

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

Then I called them again and finally, they said, “If you pay this much, it’ll be where it’s supposed to be.” So I paid that much and I got another bill and it’s up more again.

He never offered to pass me off to someone more knowledgeable, and threw the problem back in Apple's lap - something we determined to not be the case.
We finally solved the problem by consulting another friend with comprehensive Apple experience. If I could give Mediacom zero stars for the "help" I would. Complete waste of time talking to your tech support.

I work third shift and a tech came which I totally forgot about but he was understanding and quickly explained that this happens sometimes...unplanned and unexplained service interruptions. He was saying what he is told to say...I hold no malice towards him.
If this happens one more time during peak hours, because Mediacom can neither manage its bandwidth or signal strength very well, I am switching to Satellite. The previous owners already tried both so Dish and DirectTV equipment are already on my roof. Just saying! Then I will use SMTA for my ISP.

I'm on a 3 month trip, which is no vacation. I called to put to put cable on vacation mode and was told that I had to do it for at least 2 months. My concern is my health and may be able to come back home earlier. I've been with Mediacom since 1989 in one house and 1994 in another. I've not had much trouble and if I did you were always helpful. So it's on vacation mode til end of March, but what do I do if I want to come home early. I'm a senior and tv gives me comfort, as I am alone all the time. It's like having company. Please help.

My husband and I decided to come back to Mediacom after 2 years with Dish Network. I liked Dish, but my husband had a hard time finding anything to watch that he liked. So, to keep the peace, I made arrangements to come back to Mediacom so he would be able to watch television to his liking. I have not been disappointed. I have been able to watch all the stations I had watched on Dish except for the Game Show Network. But I do have a bit of a crab to give you regarding our installation. The main box is in the living room.
My husband and I each have our own bedrooms at opposite ends of our mobile home. Installing my set was fine, but it took three tries of different technicians to get my husband's television so it worked right. I didn't ask for a break on the price during this 3 week problem, but don't think I didn't think about it seriously. I have resigned myself to Mediacom for right now, and appreciate how easy it was to from Dish Network and Century Link to Mediacom. Thank you.

Good afternoon Janet,
We sincerely apologize about the experience. If a customer makes a mistake and pays multiple times via check they can either try to cancel the transaction with their financial institution or wait 10-business days before a refund is processed. This allows time for the check to clear the customer’s bank account. Unfortunately, a refund can take approximately 2-3 weeks beyond the 10-business day waiting period to be received.

I had Dish for a while then they decided to take away Channel 8, one of the local channels, and I was unhappy about that, so I switched to Mediacom. But there was one problem. Mediacom went off on December 14th from 10 AM to a little passed 7 PM and when I called to report it the representative that answered told me that I was getting $13 credit for that day. But when I got my next Mediacom bill, I saw that they increased my monthly rate. I was unhappy about it.
When I called to ask them why my bill went up this month and where is the discount I was supposed to get they said it would probably be on my next bill. When I told them that I was supposed to get a $13 discount, they told me I was only getting three bucks and something. So I felt like they were screwing me over. But that was the only thing that made me unhappy. I’m pretty happy with the channels I get.

After establishing service, it has been an absolute nightmare receiving communication from Mediacom. I paid the technician upfront, for one months internet service, and received an email acknowledging my account. Then, I tried to communicate with Mediacom - online - and Could Not. Over and over, I tried to set up an Account and at the same time, although I had not set one up, it appeared one had been, so I requested 'lost password' retrieval, and the website responded by saying an email would follow, which would provide instructions to access my online account. No emails ever arrived in that regard.
Eventually, an email arrived letting me know I should pay my bill - online - and instructions on what to expect were included. I watched the instructional video and was dismayed to learn that not only was my account considered 'past due' and consequently had outstanding fees, But I still could not get onto my online account. Frustrated, I called Mediacom and had matters handled via that phone call. I have to say - it seems rather ridiculous, that the company I retained for internet service does such a terrible job of being reachable via the internet - hence the one star!!

Mediacom did reach out to me although they were not able to offer the same pricing as they did in the sale pitch. They did not say if they were able to review the recording or not but I would think they would have been able to. This may have been a 3rd party sales cold call but again Mediacom should have records of that. In the end I'm satisfied with going back to what I had previously but would have been a bot more satisfied if they would have simply said they made a marketing mistake. I'll know better on the next sales pitch.
Original Review: Jan. 9, 2019
If you are interested - but I fear after talking with 2 different representatives you are not... I was called and given a sales pitch to subscribe to Xtreme service for $108/month plus taxes and fees. We discussed in detail what was included in that price. In fact, although the rep said my call was being recorded, I also had to transfer to another person to verify what I was told. Both said the price was 108 plus taxes/fees. I had been paying 80 for just internet so I thought I would give Mediacom another try.
Long story shorter, after my first bill I contacted Mediacom and the lady said she would have customer services review the recording and get back with me. Also as expected, no one got back with me. I contacted Mediacom again after about 2 weeks. That rep said I already had the lowest price I could get which was not 108/month. I asked if they could review the recording. She said I already have the lowest price I could get. I told her I then needed to cancel my service. She directed me to turn it in at the local shop. The next day I did.
Please understand the service was good. The installer was 5 stars. I had no issues with the package. It was with the fraud of telling me one price and not standing behind it. In our community Mediacom is slipping and has lost a great deal of market share. This is the behavior that has fueled that loss. I would really like to see Mediacom succeed, but I fear that is not the track you are on.

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

I used the chat feature and asked for Showtime to be taken off my account. The agent removed Starz instead of the Showtime causing me to lose my sale price for my Starz service. I had to call back 3 times to try and get my service fixed and was still unable to get my Starz service back at the 6.99 a month I had it. So now I have to pay full price for a service I should have had all along on a promotional price. Along with everytime I call and tried to get my service fixed they were charging me a $3 fee for the agents mistakes.
When I told the multiple different agents I shouldn't be paying the $3 fees because it wasn't my mistakes but the agents I got told there wasn't anything they could do about it. I know that is a lie so when I remained firm they gave me credit but only on 2 of those charges. Then I called because I had no internet for 3 days. They did send a technician out but never offered to provide me with credit for the time my internet wasn't working which also cause problems with the television service since I have TiVo.

I received a clean bill with the charge removed and mailed a check to Mediacom. Today I receive a collection notice from a collection company, 1 week after I received a clean bill from Mediacom. This company was quick to send a bill which was in dispute, to a 13 year customer to a collection company. I will never do business with any Mediacom company again and will advise anyone else to think twice about obtaining any service from Mediacom.

Everything was fine during the set up and Mediacom didn't make a mess when they did the installation. If I had problems, I could call Mediacom and they would respond to it and fix the issue, so I had no problem. I was totally happy with the service. But we only got a couple of channels and they billed my card twice. Other than that, I was satisfied with Mediacom. I stopped using them because I moved to Arizona. But if I was still there, I would still have them.
Good morning Audrey,
Thank you for your review. It is great to hear that the install went well and that our representatives would always be able to help you. We hope if you ever reacquire our service(s) that we can provide you another positive experience. Have a wonderful day!

I’ve just moved into a senior independent living area, and they have Mediacom through the residence here. I also had them in the past. It was the one that everybody knew about, and it was responsible and was there. I have their cable service and the quality is good. And I had the extra box that we got at one point and we could get the additional sports channels and things, but I don’t have it now because it’s not on this package. Mediacom's service is excellent. Their customer service people were polite when I had to call up for anything.

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

Mediacom's customer service has been good. Everything went really smoothly during the installation, and I was totally satisfied with the scheduling. Our internet connection has been good, for the most part. I’ve been with Mediacom for six years so I’d like it to be a little less expensive because I’m on social security. But other than that, everything’s been good.
Good morning Thomas,
Thank you very much for your review. It is great to hear that our customer service has been good and that the initial install went smoothly.

I've had to travel--South America, Europe, The Middle East, North Africa, and Asia-- for work. I purchase high speed Internet everywhere I live for work. It humbles and shocks me how much slower US Internet speeds are and for how much more (cost). Mediacom is the most expensive cable service I've ever had but it replicates many of the problems that frustrate consumers like high fees DESPITE infrastructure problems that cause cable to be down, sales teams making promises the company can't keep, consumers having to troubleshoot outside wiring problems that downgrade cable performance for months but receiving no compensation once the problem is finally confirmed, and the useless technical support advice (the unplug-replug dance) that rarely ever solves problems yet which remains the standard advice during a loss of service.
Even in China, analogous service was far more dependable and cost far less. All this at a time when the FCC has defied the US people's wishes entices more and more of us to finally seriously consider cutting the cords at home.

We’ve had issues with our internet from day one. Over the course of the last year, 5 times or more they’ve sent out a tech to “fix” our issue. Fast forward and we still have the exact same issue. Internet is slow and is in and out all the time. We pay for 100mbps and as of right now I’m lucky to get 5. All they care about is your money and could care less about what kind of product you receive. We are going to seek counsel to sue. Time for these large companies to be held accountable for the atrocious amounts of money they demand without providing the agreed upon service!!!

Channel selection is okay, but there does tend to be quite a bit of signal disruption. The pricing however is out of control. I was paying $230 per month. When I called they said I was in an old package, and after re-doing my bill I am paying $140. What a bizarre way to do business. Set a price for each service and charge everyone the same price!
Good morning Teresa,
We sincerely apologize about your experience. If you’re experiencing signal disruption we can always schedule for a tech to come out to your residence to diagnose and make any repairs as needed. Also, pricing varies due to taxes, fees, and surcharges for an area. Pricing works as follows. A customer will normally be in a promotion for one to two years. Each annual year, there is a price increase until a bundle/package/service reaches full price rate. When that does occur a customer can re-bundle, downgrade services, modify their package, or opt-into a contract offer to lower the price again. We always try to keep our rates low but due to increases in programming costs, maintenance costs, and other expenses it is difficult to do so. We hope this information help and if you have any further issues please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Thanks for your review and valued Mediacom business, have a good day!
Thanks,Christian

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

Cable has always been seriously overpriced for what the customer receives. Gazillion channels with perhaps a handful worth watching; prices rise significantly with every renewal. The cable connector is still the old knurled sleeve style, mega-challenging for aged or infirm fingers to remove and re-attach under the coaching of a tech by phone. It can take months to have a cable buried, and the contractors often damage the lines of other customers in the process. Un-bundling to drop a service can actually cost more than leaving the services together-- ridiculous on the face of it. The list of added fees/charges can be pretty lengthy. KISS!
Good morning John,
We sincerely apologize about your experience. We try to keep service rates as low as possible but due to increases in maintenance costs, operating costs, and with video programmers increasing their rates it is difficult to do so. As far as video content, you do have access to video-on-demand services which also offers a section of free titles to watch at no costs to you. Also, our cable buries depend on the area. Factors such as permits, licenses, and weather can play a role but we try to get them done as quickly as possible. We have actions in place so if we need to escalate things we always can.
As always, we greatly appreciate the feedback and would like to look further into things. At the moment, we are unable to locate your account based on the name, e-mail, and city/state provided. Can you provide us the account number, service address, or telephone number on the account? We look forward to hearing from you, have a wonderful day!

Mediacom was one of the earlier cable companies here in Columbia, Missouri so I started out with them. I made a change during the process to another company, but I didn’t like the other company so I switched back to Mediacom. I've been with them for about 28 years now and the service is good, except for the voicemail. They offer voicemail on the telephone and I checked in to get it, but I couldn't seem to get it to work for me. I called one of their service people and they had me on the phone for one hour trying to get me on voicemail without success.

I've been with Mediacom for the last 20 some years. I have them for cable service. The rates go up all the time and it seems like there's a different payment every month. It's a bit high but there's nothing I can do about it. I live in an apartment complex where I can't get satellite or anything, so Mediacom was all I got. They're trying to get me to go to TiVo but I've got so many movies on the DVR that my grandkids wouldn't like that too well. Still, their customer service has been fine. When I have problems, I call them and they answer my questions over the phone. When the whole neighborhood goes out during an outage, Mediacom gets the problem fixed pretty soon. All in all, I'm satisfied. We get a lot of channels. The kids love it and I'm very happy with that.

My mother lives in Panama City, Florida and has been impacted by Hurricane Michael. She has been with Mediacom for along as I can remember (she has lived there for 27 years). She was recently sent a bill for the months of December-January. The problem is she is still without cable, yet being charged for a service she has not had since the storm. At one point in conversation she was told if she was to discontinue Mediacom service (go with another provider, ie, DISH Network), she would never be hooked to the service again if she decided to restore at a later date.
So, Mediacom in Panama City Florida seems to think it is okay to threaten a 72 year old woman, and if she doesn't pay she will be turned over to a collection agency. This is how you treat your loyal long term consumers; those affected by a storm that for all general purpose wiped an entire town. At this point, she along with many others do not have a job to go back to or a house to live in. Mediacom, do the right thing for your loyal customers. They still have not given her a restoration date... Instead a bill for no service.

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