    Mediacom is all we have down where I live and so far, I've always had really good luck with them. In fact, I had a serviceman here just last week because I thought it was the box on my TV acting up and it turned out that my TV had gone out. He told me that the box was okay and that it was something with my TV but he couldn’t tell for sure, and it was and it has gone out on me. They were all very nice. I don’t have any problem with their quality of service at all. Every time I call them about anything, they’ve been very helpful and I'm very satisfied with how they handle things.

    We moved here from another town and our son who lived here used Mediacom so we just took it too, and have the cable service with them. We had a different service at where we lived before and their differences are just a few channels. Recently, a very kind gentleman came in from Mediacom and put a new thing on our television so that we could get new channels. And that was a very positive experience and I've been very satisfied with everything.

    Mediacom was the only cable provider available in Burlington at the time we signed up and they were the only one that we've ever had since then. They have always been good. But we had to go with a little box on our TV, and it seems like there's a lot of times when we do not get channels coming through. I'm sure it's on Mediacom because when I have this trouble, so do all my neighbors whom I've asked.

    I have a lot more outages with Mediacom than I ever had with other ISPs. When I have a problem, if I call technical support, they never take me seriously. All they'll do is schedule a technician to come out even if the problem is on their end. Recently, I spent over a day trying to get a solution for a problem I was having downloading apps from the Google Play store over wi-fi. Even though many other people in my area were reporting similar problems, I could not get the person I was talking to on phone support to believe that this was a problem on Mediacom's end, rather than a problem with my modem or my Google account. When I tried to get support on Twitter, they took hours and hours to respond.

    Finally, another Mediacom customer having the same problem suggested a tweak to my router settings that ended up working. Why couldn't anyone employed at Mediacom have suggested that to me, so I didn't have to lose a whole day of my life trying to troubleshoot this thing? Why do I get better help from random people on the internet than from the people who I pay to supply me with internet access? Why can I not get phone support to take me seriously?

    The Mediacom service technician was wonderful, always professional and courteous. I have the digital service and I like it but when the weather gets bad so does the service and sometimes it goes out but you take it with a grain of salt. Service gets back to working promptly as soon as they get it done. I’m happy with Mediacom.

    I was contacted by Mediacom and told that I needed to switch out my modem in order to upgrade to a newer, more reliable model. I took four hours off work to be home for this to happen. I waited from 12 noon to 8:30 PM but no one showed up or called. I called twice during this time and was told the ticket was still open. The next day I again took off four hours from work and the tech did show up but had the same identical modem that I already had. He said he knew nothing about any hardware upgrade. I had him go ahead a switch it out since I had now missed eight hours of work for nothing. I called Mediacom and was told I would receive a $20 credit for the missed appointment. I make $20 per hour at my place of employment. $20 for $160 does not seem like a fair trade. It would not have been so bad if I had indeed received a new piece of hardware.

    I had an experience with Mediacom in Arizona. They were nickeling-and-diming me, adding more dollars every time I got a bill. I didn't appreciate that so I did something different. For my phones, they are both wireless under Verizon and I'm happy with that. I use Mediacom for television. I gave it a week and a half notice for the installation as I was moving. I told them the day that I would like the service to be connected and they were here at the time they said they would be here and did very well. I'm satisfied with the service but there are times when something goes wrong and a technician who doesn't know how to do fix the issue would put me through a lot of stuff over the telephone, but other times there are technicians who are wonderful.

    Also, I spend a lot of time watching television if I don't have other things to do and I like the choice of stations except on weekends. They put too many sports activities. I'd like to have some quality movie programs to relax because I don't care for baseball at all. I don't like things that are negative and things like The Mummy's Tomb and dead people walking. Nevertheless, the people at Mediacom are competent. They provide quality service and usually in a timely manner.

    Mediacom is the only cable and internet provider around here. A young fellow from their sales team whom I spoke to told me what it costs. Also, the people from their sales team were friendly and knowledgeable. And so, I went with them for Cable TV. Still, I think I'm paying too much for what I'm getting. I don't watch much and there's nothing worth watching half the time. I like sports when it's on but there's not much of that anymore. Still, I watch the news in the morning and sometimes at night. So far, the quality of the service has been all right.

    When I first called to get information about services the employee was very friendly, gave complete and correct information, and informed me of specials I was eligible for. I liked that I did not have to sign a contract for a specific time. The installation of my service was timely and the employee was friendly. The internet connection was consistent and the signal was good. When I called to cancel (due to move) the employee on the phone was very nice and provided me with all the necessary information. Dropping off the equipment after cancellation was quick and painless as well. I would use Mediacom again.

    Been a customer for over 2 years with nothing but horrible experiences. Service issues numerous times but today was the final experience which prompted my review. I work at home and need my internet cable moved to another room. Service tech was rescheduled a week ago for unknown reason to yesterday. My window was after 3 pm. Tech calls at 12:30 and I was working and told him he could not interrupt my internet until 3. Had to reschedule to today. 45 min before my appointment a CSR calls to reschedule again saying tech was now unavailable.

    They can't get any techs to my residence. What?? They gave me the appointment. How do they make an appointment and then decide it's not in my area? I'm so aggravated. They want me to wait another 5 days! I pay for cable/phone/ and the fastest internet for over 2 years and its horrible customer service. I'm ready to drop this company and forever be done with them. I've had enough!

    I appreciate Mediacom and I want their business to grow. They take care of the client and it doesn’t matter who he or she is. They’re very reliable, honest, and people's person. They will help you as much as they can. Sometimes, if there’s no person to help or work, they let me know. Also, the people who I always ask questions to tell me like it is because I am on social security and I want to stick to my budget. However, the installer took some time because he had to go outside and see the issue. He was able to resolve it though. He took very good care and got me a big box. He said it's not working because I have a small box. The phone services were very good and now, I can talk to my friends using the Mediacom phone. And if there’s any problem, Mediacom takes care of it.

    I had Mediacom service for a year (from roughly 2015-2016). The service was lacking from installation on. The workers left a mess for me to clean up after making more new holes in my house, insisting they could not use the prior wiring. Then the "deals" they promised with contract were a constant source of contention. I was on the phone with customer service continually regarding my billing, I wasn't given discounts and was charged inappropriately for service I either did not consent to or did not ask for. For instance, I had cancelled my service with them in May of 2016, I was then billed for an additional month of service so I called to question why. It was found that they had never canceled my service as I requested the month prior.

    I had sold the house and no longer lived at that address and was still being charged for service!! After being transferred to multiple representatives and waiting on hold for over an hour, they transferred me to a "customer retention" representative. I was livid. I was calling to have charges reversed and questioning why the service wasn't disconnected, as requested a month prior, and you waste my time transferring me to see if you can now retain my business? I felt as a customer they were intentionally giving me the run around- constantly. The customer service was horrendous. I can't imagine how much money they would have charged me for and taken had I not been the type of consumer to watch my billing. I will never shop with Mediacom again.

    Original Review: June 13, 2017

    I had called in because there was a charge on our invoice that I couldn't identify. It turned out it was for an appointment with a technician, which we allegedly cancelled at the door. We had made this appointment, however, we did not cancel it. By the time he arrived, we had already found out that a road maintenance crew had cut a cable. My husband drove by the place where the cable was hanging loose, and met the Mediacom technician (by chance). He stopped, explained who he was, and they both confirmed that this is probably causing the outage. The technician then stayed in the area, while the maintenance crew repaired the damage.

    After a while, the service was back and the Technician checked in with us to confirm the router started normally. We have no idea why he reported this a cancelled appointment, even though he was here and met with us. Customer service refused to make any corrections, because their records did not show an outage (outages are not reported as such if they don't affect at least 10 people, as we were told before by the technician - if they were, he would not have come out to meet us because he would have known it's not something he could fix).

    In my previous review I detailed my 6 week+ issue with Mediacom in DE. I have to say, posting here got results that were not possible by just talking to the offshore representatives. They did review our issues. Finally sent a qualified technician, with digital boxes and he did finally connect our cable. We received a call from Mediacom stating they were waiving the installation charges and giving us a credit for 1 month's service. So... because of the experience on here and their adequate response, I have increased the stars of my review.

    Original Review: June 12, 2017

    Literally THE worst experience EVER with a cable company. ALL of them are AWFUL but Mediacom wins the grand prize! 3 service appointment thus far and NO CABLE TV! First guy came too late to enter our development's control box. Next guy could only hook up Internet (which is actually ok service). 3rd guy, today, NO ID and NO CLUE! Came with some used old digital box, could not connect it. HAD no idea what he was doing!

    Called Cust. Service. Apparently they HAVE NO HD BOXES but sell you the service they cannot provide! Spoke to someone named "DAN" offshore. A woman, named Dan. Yeah ok! She tried to send us to some address in Dagsboro DE for a digital box but said she had no name of location or phone number (they just get emails and message from them, they are anonymous people -- at this point I was like "What am I dealing with? The mafia? Is this even a real company?").

    I tried to set up new appointment (4th one) was told that NO DIGITAL BOX WAS GUARANTEED. I asked "when will you HAVE DIGITAL BOXES?" She had no idea! It was the strangest most frustrating conversation I have ever had! She kept saying she can send someone to connect cable but they had no digital boxes! What does that even mean? How can you sell a service and NOT have the equipment and NOT know when the equipment will be in? They use the most unqualified subcontractors I have EVER seen! And their outsourcing to God KNOWS where in Bangladesh or Timbuktu yields NON ENGLISH speaking rude folks with no CLUE about anything!

    We've had it for a number of years and we've never seen DISH, Direct or any of them as any better. We built a new home and we did all of the wirings. For the TV, the thing is declared to the central point where Mediacom come into. That's the way it's been and we've been here 30 years. Most of their service has been pretty good. If they have a breakdown somewhere or something, it seemed to takes quite a while sometimes for it to come back in whether it's a cable break or something in your equipment somewhere but otherwise, it's been satisfactory.

    The only thing is that maybe long time customers like us and seniors would get a little cut rate. $90 some dollars is expensive. My mother passed away about three years ago and she was 93. All she watches was their regular little channels but she was paying that high Mediacom bill. She was wishing there was a smaller one because she got $600 a month on a fixed social security and paying all of her bills. They're willing to give somebody a big break for new customers and I can understand that. I wish Mediacom would take in the idea of seniors and the income deal. If they would work at that and especially long time customers too. But it's cheaper than Direct or any of the others.

I went to a bigger package for more channels and better internet, of course at higher cost. Internet still is slower than it should be for what I am paying.

    So, nowhere in the ads I've received mentioned a data plan, so imagine my surprise when I suddenly get a MASSIVE pop up telling me I am over my data limit of 400GB after 13 days (???). Which is strange to me considering the only large items I downloaded were 33 GB and 50 GB respectively. Now that overage charge, another thing Mediacom will fail to tell you, they are "kind" enough to drop it this one time, but its $10 per 50GB! Which is ludicrous. This whole data cap system is nothing but a money grab, and once I move I will be canceling my service permanently and will be signing up for my local utility companies 1TB fiber, which is only a little more expensive, but worth avoiding Mediacom's greedy data cap.

    Was sold a TiVo, faster internet bundle. Installed 2 weeks ago and have had more days with zero internet or slower than dial-up. 1st, told them we had no use for phone, they agreed to take that off. 12 hours after install, had slower than dial-up speed and no Starz package access as in our bundle. Called and was told it would be a week before they showed. After they had me reboot the system, lost all internet completely and was told the Starz not working was on my side and tech would fix.

    Called again after holiday and managed to get someone out next day. The Tech arrived and said he found nothing wrong with internet after fiddling with box and that we couldn't have Starz because we didn't have phone option (even though every other person, including the one who sold us the bundle, said we could). Speeds were fast enough until next day, still couldn't stream a movie without buffering every couple minutes (our "old internet" rarely had a problem streaming anything).

    Sunday night, had no access to Netflix, YouTube or Hulu. Called, they said they'd send another tech out. Tech just left 10 min ago after replacing wires, WiFi works, TiVo/Live TV doesn't. Call and told to schedule ANOTHER appointment and wait more days... OR pay more money for business support to guarantee service same day. So now we are expected to pay more money to have service that doesn't work? Then was told we'd be charged for canceling the service. Mediacom reps are so uninformed it's criminal.

    I was with CenturyLink and it seemed like it would take hours to get to a live person if I had a question. Also, my grandson was having trouble with YouTube. He would get started doing it and all of a sudden it would just shut him off and he was getting frustrated. But we’ve noticed a big difference since we've switched to Mediacom. The only trouble was when I first signed up, I told the person who was taking down my information how to spell my name several times and she still misspelled both names. And so, when we were trying to hook up a new equipment, we could never get through it because they had a different password type name than what we were using. Nevertheless, Mediacom is a lot cheaper than what I was paying before. And though our internet kind of goes down all of a sudden once in a while, my grandson isn’t complaining like he was before.

    Our internet has not worked properly since the day we moved into our new house. We've had numerous phone calls and service calls regarding this and the advice has been to purchase our own router- ridiculous since paying for service from Mediacom. We both work from home regularly and cannot do so without internet; will most likely have to buy our own router in order to have the internet service we want and are paying for - we are paying for the highest speed possible. If that doesn't work we will probably have to cancel service.

    What's been so disappointing is that Mediacom keeps reassuring us that they will take care of the problem yet it never gets resolved. We can't stream anything - we are Amazon Prime members and can't stream from Amazon, and we've paid for MLB.tv and can't stream from them due to the lack of internet service. We came from Xfinity and loved their service; it's ridiculous that Mediacom can't compete with them. I'm extremely disappointed and would never, ever recommend Mediacom to anyone.

    People like to bash their cable/internet service, probably because in most places there is a monopoly. Mediacom was kind of a monopoly in Columbia, MO - nobody else could provide the high speeds and quality of service for internet. I was very pleased with speed and reliability. OK, there were some internet hiccups, but mostly in the beginning. Once things settled down, I never had a problem. During these hiccups, I was able to use my phone as a hot spot and the support forums, which are text based, worked. So I was able to confirm what the problem was, where, and when it was likely to be fixed. This is not a problem unique to Mediacom. Any service will have the occasional problem. I was just amazed that after the first month, I never had trouble again.

    I got at least my rated speeds and very consistently. Service and support were excellent, professional, and courteous. When I ordered service, they told me exactly what the bill would be, and it was. Another nice thing is a 90 day satisfaction guarantee instead of 30 days. This way you get through a couple of billing cycles before you're fully committed. The ONLY reason I switched from Mediacom is that I moved to a new area that they don't operate in. Otherwise I'd still be with them.

    We recently had an upgrade to TiVo on our system. The upgrade was a recommendation by a Mediacom Service Rep on the phone who was assisting me in the installation of a new modem. The installation went easy, but an offhanded remark by me as to the monthly expense of our plan lead her to quickly review our account and then her subsequent recommendation increasing the range of services provided while significantly reducing our expense. She scheduled the upgrade (which I later had to cancel and rescheduled). She was a pro... low pressure sales & service that showed 'heads up' thinking, technically proficiency and still so very polite. But that is not the end of the experience...

    The TiVo install was a rough service call. The Tech ran into unforeseen difficulties that were challenging and frustrating, but eventually corrected on site with technical support over the phone. Those issues he dealt with likely had little/nothing to do with the TiVo installation itself, but seemed more likely do to with old settings that managed the efficiency on the older system that caused my original upgrade and presenting the opportunity for the sale of the newer TiVo technology/service by your Service Rep. The Tech got the system functioning just fine from what we could see at the time but, later, after he left, we had serious issues.

    I called and another Service Rep, Roger, pulled the 'short straw' and ended up with me (the now very disappointed & disgruntled client). He was very patient, apologetic, technically experienced, and thorough... another real Mediacom Pro. He had obvious support from your technical team and, importantly, his Manager (who also demonstrated strong support & understanding). Roger got us up & running after seemed was a long time, but it looked great. No angst, or visible frustration showed... He was deliberate and very emphatic with me. He scheduled a service call to be sure all was well since we did get a last second error message (that he was able to quickly fix at that time).

    Unfortunately though, the service call was for 4 weeks from that day... That was completely unacceptable for me, Roger, or his Manager and they managed to pull the strings for a call the following Tuesday (4 days including the weekend). Roger & I were satisfied with that and he promised an interim follow up call for the next day to be sure all was well. He followed up as he said he would and I said all was well through the last several hours with no service lapse or error codes. I told Roger I was sensitive to a potentially wasted service call if we had no problems over the next couple of days. Everything went just fine through Monday so I did cancel the service call.

    You all had done your job, and with no further issues I could see no good reason to call someone else in needlessly. Your organization did a fine job and we are very appreciative for the support. You are in a complicated, competitive and highly regulated business and you live up to high standards. Keep up that level of work! You guys are really good...

Rentz let me know in no uncertain terms that it was my problem and he intended to do nothing about it. I was appalled! He put me on hold and after 10 minutes came back and said "No supervisor" is available.

    Finally, Rentz came back on the line and said, "I'm trying to contact someone in the loyalty dept for you to speak to but they are not answering." He stated, "I'll have them call you tonight. Please keep your home phone line open." Bottom-line-up-front, I never heard from Mediacom again. I switched back to AT&T in less that 5 days.

This would be a problem that could use some work.

    Like I said, "Your monthly fees keep going up and the service keeps going down". We were contacted to go to a business account, the young lady said how much better our service would be and how much better the TV and internet would work. I told her that the signal would come through the same cable that has been in the ground over 40+ years. (How can it be better, you can't make Chicken Salad out of Chicken **.) You are telling me that you would response to my calls quicker just because I have a business account, she said, "Yes." I said, "This is not fair to customers that have been with you forever!!!" Not unusual for TV cable to go completely out or have channels missing. Sorry for my response, but it is the truth!!

    We have had Mediacom service for 15 -20 yrs. The last three years repair service has been terrible. Once we call in a repair order it typically takes one to two weeks to see a repair person. Virtually impossible to be compensated for lost service. Problems are typically related to audio or video turning off and on, video displayed as random bars, high signal to noise ratio coming to home, bad pole connections every season change. I have nothing good to say about repair service. If phone service wasn't bundled with cable I would drop your company in half a heart beat.

    Buyer beware. Horrible internet service. - We had Mediacom attempt to install new internet service about a month ago. The installer did not bother to check the speed or connectivity of the internet after installation as we could not even open a webpage or check our email after he left. Our first call to Mediacom (day after installation) we were unable to resolve the problem over the phone so after the rep tried to sell me a system upgrade for my internet that was not working I declined and was told it would be a week before a tech could come out. We waited the week, the tech came out and found a satellite TV cable splitter connected to our internet cable and removed it. Tech blamed installer for not identifying this issue. Problem solved, or so we thought.

    About 2 days later Mediacom's modem/router that we rent for an additional $10/month started cycling on/off and internet would go in and out about every minute. This time when I called the tech support and again they could not resolve the issue over the phone so they scheduled another tech to come out 4 days later. I was dumbfounded at this point as this was my second issue in the 2 week period after installation. I thought for sure they would make it a priority to fix the issue, but this was not the case. Despite my pleading over the phone to get a tech out to my home sooner the rep was only able to offer me a refund for the time I was without service! Gee you think?

    The issue resolved itself about 24 hours later and my internet started magically working on its own. Fast forward to now. I have had Mediacom for just under a month. My internet quit again last night. This was on a Sunday so the tech support was a virtual assistant from India. Again unable to resolve the issue over the phone, the virtual assistant sweetly offered to upgrade me to a more expensive package for my internet that does not work. I politely declined. Now I am waiting another 6 days before a tech is available to come to my home and attempt to resolve the issue! Wow!

It was okay except it’s windy up on top of the hill and every time we’d have a storm, we’d be out of TV. So that’s what gave the opportunity for Mediacom to come. That was a smart way to go because they were right here on the pole, just like the phone company. But then after a while, their service kept getting worse. Every time the wind blows, we wouldn’t have any service and when we’d want something, all of a sudden the TV would go black. I kept calling them out about it.

    Then I saw a couple of workers on the road. I asked what they were doing, and if they're screwing up my TV again. The guy said that they’re trying to do maintenance. I asked them why they don't do it at night. And when I called them into this apartment, they said that they do it every night but they don’t have a chance because they let it go a long time and never done any maintenance. Now, they got all these problems and they don’t order new parts. They steal one from this one and fix that one, steal one from that one and fix this one, and that’s where the problem is.

    I told them many times that I’d cancel them in five minutes if there was somebody else right here close. There have been four times that they deducted money off of my bill because I called them to raise hell. I also said that I'm tired of their crap and I’m gonna call FCC. If they don’t do daily or monthly maintenance, nobody wants to spend any money. They just wanna collect it. All the money goes to some Italian guy in New York who owns it. I understand it costs a lot of money to live there but they say they do a lot of other things that don’t pertain to something and make it stand on its own feet. They are called spending money and trying to upgrade. I realize it costs money to do business but when they have a monthly business and that’s what they're trying to sell, they gotta at least make sure that it's good so they can have a good customer report to where they can expand.

    But they have the right things that I like to watch. They also have a lot of things fixed they didn’t do before and they bought a lot of parts because I see them and the phone company around working. Maybe they have a better program now than they had before and it’s been a lot better in the last month than it was before that. Also, the people who work for them are nice. One time I had them come out to my house to see what is wrong and the guy said that I need a new wire going from the pole to my house. He told me that he'll come back in four days to do that. Then there was this big and pleasant dude who was trying to sell the computer service. I told him that I’m not a computer guy but if I was, it would be the last one in the world I’d buy because the company already got a bad name. They don’t tend to do business and I wouldn’t recommend them to the dog catcher.

    due to ease of repairing and water company forgiveness for water loss, we now consider the issue closed

    Thanks

    Original Review: May 30, 2017

    Background: tenants renting a home from us in Santa Rosa Beach, FL, determined that a Mediacom work crew cut a waterline leading to home. The tenants were not aware until they received a water bill over $300. The cut is where the Mediacom crew excavated. The tenants contacted (after much difficulty) a representative of the company who stated that the waterline repair and water bill were not their responsibility. I too am having trouble getting hold of a Comcast manager. I may have to resort to obtaining counsel if we keep getting stonewalled. They need to take full responsibility for these damages.

    I got the Basic Expanded Cable from Mediacom. Their sales team has been very good and usually, if the cable broke down, they come right out. However, I'm not very satisfied with it because I watch nothing but the same damn shows day in and day out. There is never any new movie on. Home Alone is probably on every day for the last month and a half and on three different channels. Then sometimes, they even put it on one channel and play it back to back with one right after the other. It's the same thing with the Transformers movies. I'd go to Dish if it wasn't for every time it rains or snows real hard, the dish goes out.

    We had two other satellites before and then Mediacom promised that if the weather got bad, we wouldn’t lose signal. But the book they left said that if we get a bad storm, we'd lose power. It also said that if we get snow on the dish, we'd have to scrape it off. Then when the young guy came here and hooked up the Mediacom, he said that we'd lose the picture if there's an earthquake. I figured that it could be a false advertising.

    The guy that installed it did a very poor job. He came in and carried everything under his arms. He had no box. He got the TV set up and we were to get telephone and computer service, and he never even went back to the room where the computer is. He said that there’s no sense in that. Then about three days later, a big box came in the mail. He said that he'll take it back to the Decatur, Indiana office and drop it off. He also told me to get a book and a schedule of programs.

    When my wife asked how to get a high definition, he just told her to look at the program and figure it out. He should have walked us through it and making sure that we understand and leave us feeling like we're satisfied customers. He was hired to do a job. This guy said he ought to be fired because he didn’t do what he was supposed to do. He seemed to be in a hurry and want to get done and get out of here. He didn’t leave us anything and never came back. But he finally got us all straightened out.

    Another thing was that he hooked up my email on an old computer that I’ve had and the email was outdated. So I got a new one but it keeps showing up the email address as outdated already. I’ve emailed a couple of people and they sent a message back so there was nothing wrong. I just haven’t gotten an incoming mail and I don’t know what happened. But that’s no big deal and I got that figured out and get on the internet. Then I’ve got a mail from some guy who said that they don’t work on computers. I have trouble getting on the internet because I got the Wi-Fi and I also got a certain place that’s automatic connect. After I figured that out, I had no trouble.

    We have a telephone that has an answering service on it and my wife looks after that. She couldn’t erase the messages. I called the office somewhere and the woman asked for the serial number of our phone. I didn’t give it to her because all she said was, “If you got one of that, you have a lot of problems. Some of them will last 10 years. Some of them will last a couple of months. So you have to erase it with your answering machine.” We then figured that out and everything else was fine and good.

    We only had a few cable or internet companies in our area and every time I called the number I saw on TV for Spectrum, I get that it wasn’t in our area but it then led me to Mediacom. Their representatives were pleasant but I didn’t understand that my rate would go up over the course of time. I started with an introductory rate a few years ago and then for having Wi-Fi now, I pay $77 a month which is kind of high. I used to have my phone included with the Wi-Fi but I no longer have it because I have a cellphone plan. I just have Wi-Fi to do the regular activities including checking my emails and Facebook. I don't do gaming or anything special. Other than high rates, I haven’t had other problems with Mediacom. I'm happy with them but if somebody asks, I'd tell them that Mediacom is reliable but expensive and if they could go for cheaper and get the same quality, then they should do that.

    I ordered internet cable and phone through with one TiVo box and two HD 525 boxes. They sent out the TiVo box through UPS and I didn't receive my additional HD525 boxes. And the technician even refused to run the cable to the two bedrooms without having the boxes. So he said he set up an appointment for the next week to deliver and install the other two boxes. Well that day came, no technician, no boxes. I called customer service. They said there's no appointment scheduled for that day and they see what I ordered and what I received but no answer to why I only received the one box. They tried to get a hold of the technician and couldn't reach him. Left him a message to contact me directly and also scheduled a technician to come out the next day.

    Well first technician never called me back. The next day a second tech called me to tell me he doesn't have the two additional boxes on him but will have later that evening and will come out to install the next day first thing in the morning. Customer service called me and confirmed my appointment. Well it's the next day at 12:00 pm and I still haven't heard anything from customer service or the technician. I feel as if you have my money and just giving me the runaround and plus Mediacom was supposed to have someone come out and bury the cable wire. Still haven't heard anything about that as well.

    We have had issues since day one. Too many in fact to go over. But my husband and I purchased our new home in Sept of 2015. We have had at least 10 tech calls since then. Each time is something different. I pay for 100 mega speed. I do not even touch that. I cannot stream on our Firestick. We buy PPV UFC events, hoping or doesn't go out. We have 3 Tivo boxes, 1 main, 2 minis, a laptop, 2 tablets, and 2 smartphones and a wifi printer. MIND you, these are never all running at once. Connection is lost now. All the time just watching cable! My husband had purchased over $500 in "add on's" including a huge battery backup, 2 different wifi extenders and our own modern router. All top of the line, consumer ratings all high as well.

    Mediacom comes when called (days later) after a frustrating long call to cs. And by the way, if I have to listen to their plug to download the app for mediacom chat blah blah blah one more time, I swear! Maybe I would download it! IF I HAD INTERNET TO CHAT ON! I had to increase our cell plan, just to be able to use data, THAT I SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE WIFI, THAT I PAY FOR. And if one more cs rep asks me if I've tried to unplug and plug back in my modem, I'm gonna pull out my hair.

    Our last call, guy came out, nice, very helpful, I thought, said it was our electrical wiring in the house? Then I got sent a bill! It had been increasingly worse. How does that happen? So, our evenings consist of my 6 year old trying to do his math on his tablet by asking, "Do we have blue lights?" and rushing to get it in, or "Mom can we watch a movie, do we have Internet?" 9/10 times, no. As much as I hate other providers, I'm almost to that point. Now we are waiting for an actual service cell, to check the area lines. I pay each month, and I'm not able to utilize my service? If I truly were just booked for what was "available" and what I used, my bill would literally be next to nothing.

    I signed up for Mediacom at an open house given by the company, as they had just expanded into my area. After years of subpar DSL, with less than stellar customer service, I was excited at the prospect of high speeds and improved customer service. Imagine my disappointment when, after pre-paying for an installation, and having a couple of people show up who were friendly and knowledgeable, having not one, but TWO installation appointments with no-shows by the technician. In both cases someone waited a minimum of 8 to 12 HOURS, being told that someone would be there 'in a few minutes', then...nothing. No call, no show.

    Calling the toll-free number was often an exercise in frustration all by itself, due to a phone glitch that would not let a person out of the phone menu if they were not sitting in front of something with the account number on it (at one point I was trying to handle the no show, that my adult son waited for, from out of state, while standing on a busy street during a Bluegrass concert). In order to get a human, I had to hang up, then wait '5 to 10 minutes' (in reality 10 to 20 minutes, I timed them). When I finally did get a human, I was told that the tech would be at the house in about 20 minutes, and informed my son. I was not told that they would call ME, not my son. Since I did not recognize the number, I did not answer it, giving them an excuse to not show up (this was at nearly 9 pm, so I call that a lie).

    When I realized who it was, another 30 minute hold time confirmed the cancellation, and the install was rescheduled for the following Tuesday. After a TWELVE HOUR wait, again there was a no-show. I was called at 4:13 pm and told the installer would be there 'in a few minutes'. I called again at 7:07 pm (yes, nearly 3 hours later), and was told that the install would NOT happen that night, but would be 'guaranteed' for the following morning. The representative agreed that it was unacceptable, but offered no real resolution. I would like a reliable, complete installation, completed in a timely manner, and compensation for the nearly 24 hours wasted by my son and myself, waiting for technicians that did not arrive, and did not communicate with us in the slightest to keep us informed of the situation.

    This is wholly unacceptable, and, as a person who has worked in customer service, this is poor business practice. Mediacom is not starting out on a good footing with this customer, and, should this continue, I will find other, likely cheaper, internet service, albeit perhaps without the download speeds advertised, and seek redress for my stress and inconvenience.

    I am constantly having problems with my services going in and out. It takes them a week to send a tech out. If you are not at home within a 4 hr scheduled time they will cancel it. After 3-4 techs come out and still can't fix problem they may send line maintenance out within a week or two. The last one that came out on 5/12/17 said he was but when services kept going out I called and a line truck had not been requested by that tech like he told me he would do after checking and seeing that my line frequencies were spiking way up and down all the time. And If they think they fix it they close ticket. If not fixed the cycle starts all over again for 2-4 mos.

    No one seems to know how to fix it or they just don't want to fix it. This is the 3rd time I had to deal with this in the past 10 yrs I have had my internet with them. You cannot talk to the local maintenance crews or district manager. You have to go through office in other states about the problem. I do not understand why so many techs have been out and no one can seem to fix this problem.

    Back on Tuesday May 9th my internet service started acting up, now what many people may not know is that Mobile AL is the wettest city in the continental United States and Theodore AL (which is right next door to Mobile) where I live seems to get the bulk of it. My internet service started going weird around 2:00 PM on the 9th, my internet would run for a while and then go down, up and down, up and down till the late afternoon when the sun would begin to set and the temperature would begin to drop then my internet would begin to run fine and continue to run fine throughout the night and into the early morning, but by mid to late morning when the sun was getting high and the temperature would climb my internet would go weird again.

    I have had Mediacom technicians come out but the problem continues. I have repeatedly told Mediacom and the Mediacom technicians that the problem (in my opinion) is with the junction box across the road from my place. I have told them that every time we have a lot of rain this problem happens and that (in my opinion again) there is water getting into the system and when the temperature rises and the moisture/water begins to evaporate it is causing something in that junction box to trip. I don't know if it is a circuit breaker, a relay or something else but something is causing my internet to go freaky. This is not the first time this has happened and I am sure it will not be the last.

    Now I am 64 years old and I do not get out much anymore because I live on a fixed income and so I like to go online and explore the world, shop/window shop and read my email, I do not watch movies or play games online so the internet is my outlet. The problem is that Mediacom and their technicians act like I am totally clueless. I have been with Mediacom for 8 years and I feel they treat me like dirt.

    Another problem is that Mediacom is the number one ISP out here in Mobile county Alabama, sure there is AT&T but their internet speeds are slower than a "snail on an iceberg" and their lines are at full capacity and the satellite ISP is way out of my price range so basically Mediacom has a monopoly and when I do complain it usually takes around a week for a technician to come out.

    This is so much BS and I am tired of it, I am tired of them not listening to me, I am tired of being treated like garbage, I am tired of paying for internet that I can not use at least 50% of the time and I am tired of Mediacom not caring about their service only about the money they bilk out of their customers because we have no other ISP to turn to.

    I have been keeping a log of the dates and time my internet goes down and comes back up because I am to the point that I am considering suing them. One other point is this. The Mobile county commission is also to blame for not opening up Mobile county so other ISP such as Comcast and others to come in, you would see prices drop and service improve because open competition and the free market work. If that ever happened and it won't I would dump Mediacom in a nano second. Bottom line (in my opinion) is that Mediacom is a terrible company and a worse ISP company...

I told them that I had called Mediacom customer service and they told me to go to the local store and they could give them to me. The woman at the local store had to talk to the manager. She said she could do it, but not right away. It would be three to four days before she would have them.

    I went back after four days.They did not have the dates that am requested and I was informed that they could not get them, that customer service would have to get them. I called customer service back. I was told to try to get them on the Web. The website is very hard to use. I could not get them on the Web. I called customer service back and I ordered them. I was given an order number and told a date they would arrive, another week went by, no records. I called customer back and was told that they had been delivered to my home. I told them that I did not receive them. I was told that they were delivered UPS. I asked for the tracking number, only to be told that there was none. I asked how they knew that they were delivered as they would have to have a tracking number to know that information.

    I was then given an address that the information was last known to have been. That address was the post office downtown, in the city where I live, so I went there. No mail was there, in fact, spoke with the postmaster who manages the office and he informed me that no deliverable mail goes to that office and no UPS mail ever goes there. He told me to go to the local Mediacom office and have them look it up to see where the package was because someone had not told me the truth about the tracking number. I told him that the local store would not cooperate.

    I went to the local store and was told that they did not have access to that information. I then went to the local UPS distribution center. They looked up my address, nothing ever came through UPS for me. I called Mediacom's customer service again. I told them about the wild goose chase that they sent me on. I reordered the records, again they did not arrive. I reordered them again, got some records but not the ones that I requested! I called customer a back, was asked if there was a different address that they could send them to. I requested that they be sent to the local store. Finally I received them, over a month later!

    Anyone else have issues with Mediacom and TiVo. I'm convinced that TiVo is the problem. This Friday will be the 4th service call to correct the TiVo issues we are having. Issues such as not getting all HD channels. Not getting all LOW DEF channels. Cannot access on demand. The satellite TiVo boxes cannot find the host. Internet connections to the TiVo boxes keep dropping. They replaced all the coaxial cable (indoors and outdoors) to an ungraded cable and I felt sorry for the tech because he was convinced that was the issue.

    Turns out the tech admitted Mediacom is having major issues with TiVo. No the same issues I am having. Sounds like a pissing match between Mediacom no TiVo on why the TiVo doesn't work. I tell you one thing, I am not paying my bill until ALL issues are corrected for a minimum of two weeks and if I leave Mediacom, good luck getting my early disconnect fee. The techs were very nice as well as the phone support. I only want what I am paying for!

Had to wait over 2 weeks for date, they rescheduled to move up date 2 days and then did a no show, not even a courtesy call that they weren't coming. I lost wages to take the day off and waited and then when nobody ever came, I called and was told they didn't have time to come out and scheduled me to wait ANOTHER WEEK!

    I had plans for canceling my service when I was calling in for the fourth time this week with the same issue. My TiVo minis wouldn't connect and slow internet. 2 techs could not solve the issue, neither could 4 agents over the phone. I talked to Rick in Total Care, and in a space of thirty minutes, was able to get all 7 of my TiVo boxes online and my internet going faster than it ever has! That was 10 days ago, and not a single problem since! In my opinion, he saved me as a customer, and the company should be proud to employ him!

    My husband is very sick and he's in a nursing home. So, I signed up with Mediacom Cable for him because they were cheaper for what they’ve got than South Central was. Mediacom’s sales rep was good, and their installers came when they told me they would. They hooked the cable up, and my husband’s been happy with it.

    I had my payments on auto pay because of my busy life and I knew this bill was the same every month. However, my payments are supposed to be taken out on the 15th. For some reason it took it out on the 8th. Because of this it made my bank account go negative. I tried to talk to someone since it is illegal to take money from an account before the date noted.

    The First Lady I talk to was so rude. She wouldn't let me speak and kept yelling at me. Well they put the payment back in my account. Yet, this made no difference because my account was still $55 dollars negative thanks to them. Yet they haven't done anything about it. So not only did they take money out of my account illegally but because they did this they got me charged $55 on top of it. So be careful if you put it on auto pay and you have a tight budget because they might rob you in the end.

    I had been with Mediacom in the past and their price was getting higher. I went to another company then they also kept raising the price and so I decided to switch back to Mediacom. I've got my cable and telephone through them. When their team installed the service, they're very nice and good. I've got a guy that lives here in Bedford that is from our church and there's no problem. Then anytime I have called anybody, they've been great.

    Sometimes the quality of the cable is not so good. Every once in a while, the picture will have little boxes in it. It seems to me that my remote won't let me change channels. I've had somebody to look at that and they gave me a new remote but it hasn't really solved the problem and that seems to be on one channel. So, I'm just living with the way it is. I hate to call them back when I can still watch TV, but it isn't completely right. But then the quality of the phone service is fine and I like the price too. I'm on a plan and my long distance calls are charged separately. Overall, I get good service from them.

    Pretty self-explanatory for the most part, but I would not recommend Mediacom to anyone, ever. It's too bad that they are the regional monopoly. They provide internet service that works most of the time, but definitely not as well as what they charge you for. I have had many internet plans with different providers in many different areas recently and this is the worst and most expensive by far.

    Cons: Number of pseudo-websites or branches of their website, looks like spam and makes it very difficult to just pay your bill and put these folks on the backburner. Most of these sites bring you nowhere and don't recognize your login credentials. Or even lock you out, even when days earlier you may have used the same credentials to log in and it was successful.

    Requested a new password at one point and it took nearly two days for them to get back to me, as opposed to any other website that takes 5 minutes. I have had cases where Mediacom's website would not accept my payment information, even though I had paid multiple bills for other services online immediately previous to theirs.

    Pros: Their internet service works, but not as good as what they are asking for, price-wise. Overall: Why does a 'technology' peddling company have such a terrible tech structure. None of my other bills give me this much grief. A lot could be done to streamline their website and start providing a service instead of empty sales numbers.

    I am very pleased with the service I get from Mediacom. I pay for 100 mb speed cable internet and I rarely ever have any problems. MOST times I have had an issue I simply give them a call and it gets sorted out immediately. In a few cases there was an issue with my bill and both I and the customer service rep were confused as of why. In the end I have always come away satisfied. I understand that when most people fill out a review it is either a quick I love it or a long drawn out I hate it. So in all I love my experience with Mediacom thus far (9 years).

    Now in hopes that someone from Mediacom reads this before posting it to wherever it gets posted here are the areas in which I believe they could use some improvement. When they say 100 mb speed they really mean 70 etc. I understand that the speed they advertise is a "up to" speed but a little more honesty would sell me a lot more than buy 100 and not receiving it. It seems like they have 1000 different phone numbers and their website is of no help in finding out the correct one to call.

    (Personal opinion) I wish they could have a little trust in their field agents and give them the equipment. Anytime you need a new TV box or internet modem it gets mailed to your house (most of the time when your not there) then it sits at the UPS or FedEx store until you have time to pick it up, and then on top of all that you still have to have someone come hook it up because it won't work unless the agent is on site. All of this headache could be solved with just letting the drivers bring it when they come to hook it up and have some way of you confirming that they and the equipment are at your house. And I say this about every service provider company regardless of the service, but all you ever see or hear in ads for their company is "new customer" perks. Lower prices for the first 2 years, free upgrades, new equipment, better speed, more this better that and newer whatever. For once I would love to see a company reward their loyal longstanding customers.

    I wish they would fix the outages on Audiss Road in Milton, FL. Told its the box on the line here. Is set to cut off when heats up to high. Told they had it set to low and that's why it keeps going out. We cant watch a whole movie without it cutting out and back in. My neighbor is having same problem too. Mornings are the worse so I don't understand why it's a temperature thing in the box. For the price we pay for cable, you should maybe change out the bad boxes people are complaining about.

    I returned back from Florida on April 14th. My internet just got fixed on May 1st. All the repair people were very nice but took them way too long to fix. Part of it was between the lineman and the repairmen. Also it took too long for appts. When I called they would schedule my appt a week out. I must have stayed at home waiting on repairmen 5 times with a time span of 4-6 hour wait. I have had Mediacom for many years and never this long to fix. Now I am waiting on someone to bury the cable. They had to replace it and it is laying across my yard and said another crew would come to bury it in a week or two. Happy to have Internet, but not happy with the waiting time. I feel you owe me refund for my inconvenience and extra expense I had to increase my data with my telephone carrier. Cost me $20.00 to increase my data plan.

Then, the guy came out and he was on time for the date I said. He installed the cable, ran my TV through and it was nice and pleasant. The service has been fine, so far, other than when it goes out from the weather but no one can't help that. Also, the cost goes up quite a bit quite often. I used to pay $50 and now, it's $90, almost a $100. But it's the same thing and there's nothing different and better. The shows are worse, as a matter of fact, but it's the programming's fault.

    When Mediacom is working correctly, they are a pretty excellent company. I have been without internet service about 75% of the time over the past few weeks due to an issue outside of our residence. They have been reluctant to try and resolve the issue, even skipping appointments whenever they feel like it. As you may know, an appointment means time off of work, loss of pay, even if it's a vacation day there is value lost. I typically wouldn't complain, but during the last service call there were two techs, and a supervisor, and service was even worse for the next 7 days, leading up to today where they just didn't show up. I'd really like to see a change in management here.

    While I can't really say I am unhappy though I probably am but I am very disappointed. When I was sold the package over the phone I shared that I had 250 channels with DISH. I was assured that I would have 200 with Mediacom with the package that I was being offered. Well, I do have 200 channels as long as you count the duplicate channels from regular definition and HD. With DISH I had 250 DIFFERENT channels not 100 merely doubled. As far as I am concerned that was deceptive marketing as the package was offered. What I was described I did not receive.

    I was also told I would have coverage in my home just like I had with DISH which was living room, two bedrooms, and my office. When the installer arrived I only had the living room. I had to call and get another installer at an extra cost to come and install the master bedroom. I was told I would be able to view programs by category as I was used to but that also was not accurate. I told the person telling about the package that my wife and I like baseball and other sports but mostly baseball. I was, again, assured that I would have all the baseball that I would want. There are many times when I can't find a game of any kind unless I want to watch a college game from a school we have never heard of or have any interest in.

    Even though I am spending less than I did for the DISH package the lack of channels and programming lets me know the bad side of this is what I have now that really isn't worth what I pay for it. I will say that the internet that I have and have had for many years is worth all that it costs. I was hoping that the TV service would be as good. I really feel that I was led down a prime rose path while not really lied to but greatly deceived. I also told the salesman that we would never use the TIVO but he insisted that it had to come with the package. We do not have the time to record programs for later viewing so it was and is a waste. I will continue to pay the bill as it comes in but as soon as I can get out of the program I am and I will do so. I will keep the internet as it really is a great product but the TV service has much to be desired.

    I've used Mediacom for years and they have fell to the wayside now when it comes to maintaining a reliable service. I have the Tivo, Internet and phone package. And for the past three months I've had horrible Internet connection. It constantly drops many times in one day. As a matter of fact it's down as I write this review. I solely do business with them for the high-speed Internet, but as of late it is a major letdown. I have called them way too many times to try and get my problem fixed over the last two months and they still haven't fixed it.

    My service is around $140+ a month, which I pay without fail, yet they can't provide me with reliable Internet. If I don't pay my service is disconnected which is understandable. But to be a reliable paying customer that's service is always down and hasn't been fixed in over two months gives the impression that all they care about is getting your money. They can tell me it's because of a bad signal yet you don't have anyone smart enough to come out and fix the problem?! I'm overly disgusted with these guys right now. There is no excuse for this problem existing this long, none! I'd highly recommend another provider over these guys if you have the option. Which I don't have and think that's one reason they don't care to try and fix the problem for there are no better providers in my area for better high-speed Internet.

    Years ago we had internet service with Mediacom, MCHSI. It was fast & reliable. It got very expensive so we moved on. In December we decided to bundle phone, TV & internet at a very good price. First, they didn't send all the equipment for install so we had to have two appointments for that. Next, we started having multiple outages on all three services. Multiple calls for fixes so lots of time on the phone & on hold. The first repair tech that visited made some wiring changes, blaming the install guy. The second tech installed a new modem. More outages with brand new wiring from the box, brand new wiring in the house, and brand new equipment.

    Today I was working with a tech for our most recent phone outage, 5+ days, and he was able to fix it remotely. I mentioned our internet was really not that fast so he looked into that. I was told it was set up incorrectly from the get-go and we were not receiving high speed service, just regular service, even though we had been paying for high speed service! It's a good thing I have absolutely no commitment to them because this is the final straw!

    I have previously had service with Mediacom. I was disconnected for nonpayment because I refused to pay them for a service I wasn't getting. My cable box was about as big and old as an 80s VCR. Repeated calls to replace. Even the technician made fun of it. Said the box I was paying for was a lot better quality. Never received. The Wi-Fi. That was another joke in itself. My kids called it "Walmart Wi-Fi." Service out 50-60% of the time. Fortunately, we had a neighbor with an open guest connection that she let us use. Ridiculous, right? $125 some odd dollars a month for absolute garbage. The technician called and said she was coming to disconnect. Please come get your stuff, I'm done with this company!

    Fast forward a year and half later, and Mediacom wins. Once again, getting substandard service from a local provider, I succumbed and called Mediacom very hesitantly. Sales call went well (I had to pay the money I owed them for a service they didn't provide). The box will come via UPS on the 21st. The 21st was the ship date, not the arrival. So installation date comes (4-24), and there's no box here. Technician (who was great, by the way #**) calls office and says I have to go (an hour away) and get a box. I'm OK with that, as I decided to take a personal day for cable installation (it shouldn't take an entire day of the technician running around looking for parts). Then he calls and says they don't have the box, so we need to reschedule. When? In two weeks when I can take another day off? No.

    I called CS, and they would do nothing about it. I asked for a supervisor and was disconnected, and my work order cancelled. Called the technician and asked him if he could just do the internet, and the TV later. He said sure, just call them back and have it put back on my list for today. Easy fix. Why did the customer have to be the one to figure it out?? Called back, spoke to Henia #**, who was very helpful. I told her what we needed to do and she made it happen. Still waiting to finish internet installation (7 hours later, due to the company not the technician). Not off to a good start AGAIN, Mediacom. If it wasn't for the technician, and Henia I would not be a customer (Pam... fire her). Hope this is the last of the runaround. Still think I shouldn't have had to pay that money, though. I paid for a service I did not get. I seriously doubt anyone just read all that, but I had to get it out!

    I've only had one bad experience with them. About a month ago, a bolt of lightning struck across the street and it messed up the cable reception coming from the power poles and into the house. It took about a week where I could get all the channels again. But a bolt of lightning is an act of God and you just can't control it. But they finally figured out what it was and I was glad that I could pick up all the channels. They were also knowledgeable and explained to me that HD channels are 500 and above and you get that much better quality picture than the lower channels like Channels 4, 6, and 8.

    I was very impressed with the technician that installed our service. He seemed to be very knowledgeable about everything except setting up our e-mail however customer service helped with that. There were problems with one of the two boxes but he didn't leave until the problem was solved. He even came back later just to make sure we were happy. We are now having issues with the modem so we will see where that ends up. As of now, we are very happy.

    Mediacom has a good location and they’re handy. I have their internet service for 4 years. I’ve been using it to chat mostly. I also look up information on vehicles and all and I go Craigslist. Quality of service has been fine. They have done an update and they sent me a box to put in but I don't know anything about putting it in and messing with that. I will be talking to some of the service guys when I see one of them down the road and they would tell me how to hook it up.

    I have had Mediacom for over 2 years and I have been having major problems for the past year. We have been having problems with our TV and Internet. The cable tech has been to my house at least 6 times to try to solve the issue. They would give us a time frame when they would show up and they would never show. The Internet is terrible and we pay good money for the faster kind. It's always cutting in and out, the TV stops working at night, it terrible. As of now they ran a new cable from the outside box to the house and I have the same issue, I've been talking to my neighbors about it and they're saying they have the same issue.

    Our stuff is only working half the time if you're lucky and we still get a full bill every month. It seems to me that when I call and complain they don't take me seriously. They probably think I'm trying to get free service but I'm not. I just want to be able to play my Xbox without having to get kicked off every 15 min. It seems to me that they're not holding up their end of the deal. I also need to run my small business off the Internet and phone.

    We have been with Mediacom since we had TV after we moved here in '61. We have their cable service and their installers have all been very nice. We're very satisfied with Mediacom that's why we'd stayed with them for so long. I would recommend them to anyone.

    Mediacom, thank you so much for such great service. I have just moved to a new house where I won't be able to have your service and I am really going to miss you! Becky in the office has been wonderful and helpful and so is the manager that she works for. I recommend your service to all the people I meet.

    The internet service provided is very poor. Main input signal is lost going to modem multiple times per day. I've had the same service for 4 years. Within the last 6 months my monthly charges have gone from $145 to $192 per month. I feel like I am being gouged.

    Mediacom is the only one I can use down here. I live in an apartment and am not allowed to have a satellite. The sales team were very nice to me and the installation was great. I watch TV with their service and speed is fine. I’m satisfied with what Mediacom has done for me.

    Absolutely the worst customer service ever!! Lived in this location for two and a half years and have to call because the cable is out constantly!!! And when I call in treated to say the least poorly. For the record have owned my own business for over 30 years cannot believe that Mediacom can still be in business. Also I have never wrote a review before this one! Completely unsatisfied!!!

    I've had Mediacom for about 30 years. I've recently called them because I was putting it on vacation. They cut the charges down from around $100 to about six or seven for a minimum of two months. Somewhere along the line we went to the HD and that was a work in progress of several phone calls and trips out here, but we finally got it to work satisfactory. And every so often, I call Mediacom and somebody will give me a discount for six months. That's a pain in the rear because if you don't remember when the six months are up, then it goes back to their excessively high price. I don't see why that once you start that six months discount, it can't be continued automatically. And sometimes it takes 15 to 20 minutes before somebody answers. And for what they're selling me, it's overpriced. So what I should do is check out dishes and make a comparison on the service and the cost.

    Phone is the worst of all. It just quits. The internet goes offline occasionally. I have complained but serviceman called and on his way...but told him it was working now. He said since working, he might have to charge me $70 for service call. I cancelled the order.

    I have had the TiVo service for several months now and I pay considerable amount of money for my cable and Internet however I am still having the same issues and having to call back to have the same problem resolved over and over again. Since this is the most modern package Mediacom has to offer I am still somewhat dissatisfied with the inability of the service to remain functional. It is also troublesome that it takes such a long time for Mediacom to respond with a service request usually ranging from 1 to 2 weeks before you can get a technician to get to your house. I will give them credit for prorating my bill during the downtime but the customer service that you get when you call technical support is somewhat mediocre at best. The usual response is to power down the router and then power down the cable box which has resolve the issue at times but usually I end up with the technician roughly 1 to 2 weeks after that does not work.
