    I've been using Mediacom since last year. I heard about them through word-of-mouth and went with them because of the special they had. Their services are alright and I like it. I have no complaints about it and the quality is sufficient.

    I've been a Mediacom customers for almost 10 years. I check my Internet usage almost daily. I live by myself. I checked my usage last Friday, and according to Mediacom, I have watched over NINETY 2-hour movies in 2 weeks (almost 400GB). Seriously??? I've actually watched only 6. I don't know where you are coming up with your figures, because they certainly don't match mine! I'm considering going with CenturyLink!

    I live in an assisted living and Mediacom is what's offered here. Because my building is a secure locked building, nobody can get in unless I come down to let them in. For the first week, I gave them my number but they called my sister instead of me because her name is on the bill. On the second week, they called but it was the same thing. Now, it's week three and I'm still waiting. Their service is not satisfactory and it's ridiculous how I had to go through all that and all the last rep could tell me was he wasn't a liar.

    We moved in and got Mediacom on December 19th. Since then it has not worked. The Internet would go down about every 10 minutes. The television would freeze and go all pixie so you could not watch it. The tech was scheduled to come Monday January 9. He called my cell phone, it rang twice and did not leave a message. We told the service center some one would expect at the house no matter what. Well since I didn't pick up the phone fast enough they said I was not home and put me on hold. I got on the phone right away and got a hold of a customer service right away and the man told me he would check into it and he would call me back in 5 minutes.

    I waited a hour and called back and got agent named Chris that was very helpful. He said he would check to see what happened. I got a email within 10 minutes from him telling me that they would have to reschedule for Thursday. Well I was very steamed by this time. Wednesday to add insult to injury I get a email that my bill is available. I bill for service I have not been able to use.

    Thursday the tech showed up and went through a whole bunch of things and found that when they installed the service they had reused a DirecTV wall plate and the connector was bad. The tech replace it and there were no more issues. I was happy with the agent that did get back to Emmetsburg and the tech. I still feel I should not have to pay for service I did not get but well that can't be helped according to customer service.

    I was warned about Mediacom by a professional working in a local center for independent living. He had seen too many incidents in which Mediacom would overcharge even people who were disabled and had limited incomes. I was given an amount I would have to pay to install my internet service AND pay for my first month of service. I just received my very first bill. It shows I have a previous balance of $16.20 along with a late fee of $8.50. My FIRST bill with a previous balance AND a late fee!? These additional charges very nearly DOUBLE the amount I was told I would pay for internet service. I will be terminating this service. I am also someone who has to survive on a limited income, and Mediacom obviously has no problem stealing from me. I am disgusted. Their reputation in this city of being dishonest and flagrantly overcharging customers is clearly one they have earned.

    Internet signal output from signal splitter to in-house connector run below floor was pulled off the connector plate inside the house causing the Coax cable to drop behind the wall making it inaccessible to the technician. Because of this a new cable had to be run on the outside of the house. Signal (Internet/TV) apparently could not be found at the on-property junction box. A new (presumably temporary Drop) orange colored cable was run somewhere way down the neighborhood to attach to a working connection rather than repairing the signal connection at the Junction box on the residential property. We assume that this is not a permanent solution since we would prefer the orange cable not be buried on our property. There are irrigation lines/Water lines/and power lines buried there.

    Mediacom has just notified me that due to recent increases in their network, they are going to raise my internet speed from 50MB to 60MB and charge me $5.00 a month more with no choice to stay at my current speed/billing rate for their high speed internet services. So when I called to say I did not want the increased speeds/billing, I was told I have no choice as the 60MB speed was their new minimum speed.

    Well I have used a speed test to check my download/upload speeds over the last several months and not once since August of last year have I even come close to getting the 50MB download and 5MB upload speeds I am paying for. And now, I being told I will be forced to move to a higher speed service with a higher billing rate and they can’t even deliver on the 50Mb/5Mb service I have been paying for the last year. I have the history of their crappy performance stored in my testing tool so I would sure like to know who I can go to get resolution for paying for 50MB internet service for several months while not being able to receive what I am paying for. And then to be told that I am being forced to pay for a higher speed service that I am betting will not test out to be anywhere close to 60MB as they promise.

    I moved to Iowa coming from a surprisingly smooth experience with Comcast and was expecting that Mediacom would, at least be on par. This is not what I found. First, the installation took really long. A cable was left ruling on my backyard and the guy did not explain me anything about the service. I found out later that not all channels were available. Another team was sent to deal with that and they solved the problem but could not explain anything about login to online services. The worst part is calling Mediacom. You wait for a LONG time and, when they answer they put you on hold again to talk to the correct department. Even worse: they tell you that the lines are long and that they can call you back. NEVER accept this "offer": What they do is calling you back and put you on hold AGAIN to wait for the right department to answer. Other than that, the Internet is not that fast and, compared with Comcast Xfinity, it makes Comcast look from the future.

    Updated review: Jan. 10, 2017

    Thank you, Cody. That is very generous. Please let me say that I did not intend or realize that this review would go out for public viewing. I thought that the consumer affairs email requesting a review was from Mediacom, just wanting to know how things went. If I had known it would be available for public viewing I certainly would not have written it the way I did, detailed and rambling, and rather critical. I am quite satisfied with Mediacom, which is why I gave it 4 stars. Unfortunately, I have not found a way to delete or modify the review. I will, however, try to mark it as resolved.

    Original Review: Jan. 4, 2017

    When I first signed up, the Mediacom contractor (NOT a Mediacom employee) ran the cable to the peak of my roof, attached it to the hot water heater vent pipe (which gets really hot) and down the shingles to enter the house. This is potentially destructive to both the cable (from possibly melting) and the shingles. I know he did it to try to keep the cable high enough that passing trucks would not catch it and rip it out, still... It might be better in 1 story houses where there is concern about the height to just install an unobtrusive pole at sufficient height to hold the cable up out of the way.

    Next, he accidentally drilled through my interior furnace vent pipe when bringing the cable from the basement to the first floor and didn't tell me. I don't see how he could not have at least suspected that he drilled through it when he was pulling the cable and the vent pipe was directly under and right in the way of the hole he drilled. I understand these things happen and I could have fixed it if I had known. This vent pipe vents a lot of moisture to the outside, and a hole would sent a lot of moisture right into the joists on the ceiling of my basement, potentially causing structural damage.

    This same contractor wrote down the wrong modem password (one wrong digit). He wasn't able to confirm that I could log in before he left, because his order did not indicate that I did want wireless capability, so he had to use a different modem and there was some time delay before this new modem could be recognized. So, with the wrong password, I was unable to log on when I tried later.

    When I called Mediacom to let them know I was having problems, It was a week before a technician could be sent out. That's quite a long time to wait, especially for a new customer. But that's a fairly minor irritation in the whole scheme of things. Once the Mediacom tech came out, he got everything sorted out. He reran the cable, told me about the vent pipe hole, and corrected the password. What a guy. I wish I would have gotten his name so I could pass it on to you. Unfortunately, I did not, but I assume he works out of the Des Moines Iowa office and he was Bosnian. Kudos for hiring a good guy.

    Since I have been connected, everything has gone well. Service has been steady, I switched to my own modem and router and that went smoothly (at least for your part). I am not getting my proper internet speed however. I am only getting 20Mbp/s. That may not be Mediacom's fault. A Windows 10 update did some weird things. But I will investigate at a later date. Oh, by the way, when I log in to email, the "remember me" checkbox does not work as I would expect, and I have to log in every time after I close and reopen a browser session. Not a big problem, probably best for security, but clarification or removal might be a consideration. Overall, after the initial trauma, I am quite satisfied with Mediacom.

    There are many issues in daily service, from sporadic Internet outages, sound quality of specific channels, on demand or TiVo Shows center not working at times. I've had a technician out on multiple occasions to fix Internet outages, to no resolve. The long delays of call in for an appointment, only to have the issues fixed for a day or so and return to the same problem. The amount of money I pay every month, I'd think there would be more done to satisfy my problems, as well as my dedication to Mediacom when I've had many chances to leave for cheaper service with better quality.

    It is very disturbing when a customer has been with this company for 37 years and they cannot reduce the payment. I have paid enough of money to Mediacom to pay for the CEO salary and I think after seeing you give new customers reduce prices for a year or so you can give a old customer the same benefit. I have stuck with you and never complain and other people had dropped your company and gone to other companies. I am veteran. I am disable and live on a fixed income.

    It takes a while to get a repairman once in a while. We’ve had a couple of interruptions when we had no TV or telephone for as high as two weeks. The service was off for one week and then it came back on. The repairman came and fixed it, and then it went off again. The problem was in the lines, not anything in the house, and Mediacom had to fix them. They went up through the poles then took the wires and the box down. They had to do that a couple of times in the two-week period. But it’s all back in good shape now and if everything keeps on going like it is, I'm satisfied.

So I then called the customer service and asked for another DVR for the small TV. The salesperson arranged for the tech to visit 12/23 to fit the new box. The tech left before all the channels were available and so the next day as we were missing channels I called customer service.

Despite us calling in to inquire why, have a supervisor tell us that only 1 guy can review calls and he comes in at 3PM ET and promise he would review it and call us back and gave us an exact day. Yes that was over 1 week ago and we have yet to hear literally anything from anyone at your company. Oh wait, you sent us yet another bill and took our money.

    A patient Apache Junction Mediacom desk person issued a TV box and Internet modem. Apparently there had been long lines all day. I waited 30 min. and a there was a long line after me. I successfully set up the TV, and tried to connect the modem. I had problems and called tech support. Very helpful person finally gave up and said we'd need a service call, since she couldn't "see" the modem. The next day, I re-connected all fittings, called tech support. A very helpful person (James in DesMoines I think) helped me and was able to make the connection. GOOD GOOD service. THANK YOU!

    My internet service went down so I called Mediacom. They said it would be six days before they could get a tech to come out. Finally they showed up six days later... They put up some new connections at the pole and cut off some of the old wiring. He came in and got us connected but could not connect the wireless unit. We had service at least 30 minutes after he left and it went down again. We called the company and they said "we would have to talk to a technician" so they would return the call in one to two hours. We waited 3 hours without a return call. The next day I looked on our incoming calls and found no return calls at all. We finally had a friend who know some about the systems. He came over and worked on this for 5 hours before finally getting us connected. Now I received our new bill to find out the price has gone up almost $10.00... For what??? I am ready to change companies for this kind of service and billing... Crap!

    First the guy who came to set it up used old wire and just hooked a small piece to the router box and then took forever to set it up on phone and also he was not on time. The order said between 10 am and 12 pm. He shows up at 1 pm. After it was set up he gave me a paper and said "this is your login" and took the 100$ and then he left. I tried to hook my WiFi up to my smart TV and iPhone and it did not work. So I called tech support and those guys helped me out and got it to work for me so I am very pleased with it now. Thank you.

    When I moved out of my parent's house, Mediacom was the company that came to mind. I have their internet and before this month, I was absolutely satisfied with their service. But it's been about a month of it not really working and technicians have been out three times but haven't fixed it. I recently found out too when they came out to fix my internet that it hasn't been operating to its full capacity since I've moved into my house because they had a trap on there that was older and was not conducive to the new stuff. I haven't been getting what I’ve been paying for four years. It not a huge issue, but it's still a little bit frustrating. It took me calling in to figure that out.

    I still like Mediacom though and I have had nothing but excellent customer experience via phone. I called in two months ago and told their reps that my old bill has doubled in the last seven years but my service hasn't changed. It has actually gotten worse.

    Unfortunately Mediacom is the only internet provider on W. Beach Blvd in Gulf Shores. Our signal has been poor since June. We have had 3 modems installed. On a Thursday another technician came out, replaced the modem and ran a new cable from the junction box at the road. He admitted that the signal was weak, so he turned in an order for a technician to replace the Junction box. That was where the problem became worse. We had internet when the technician left.

    On Saturday, New Year's Eve a technician came out to repair the junction box at around noon. We lost connection while he was working on it but thought that would soon be repaired. After the technician left we still had no connection. We called and were told there was 'an outage in our area'. We then called again around 6:00 and the customer service rep stated there was no outage in the area. He said the original Technician had closed the ticket. So on a holiday when we had our internet service functional, the technician destroyed it.

    To make matters worse the customer service representatives both in the US and Philippines continued to 'promise' us service on New Year's Day. We were never able to have someone simply tell us that we were simply not going to have the circuit repaired. I would gladly pay $100's for AT&T. Mediacom has been very difficult to work with and the service is not reliable. We pay for 50 Mbps and usually get 1.5 Mbps. I wish I had other options.

    Have been with Mediacom in Georgia since late 2013. Anytime the service starts acting up, usually takes several visits from techs as well as several hours of calls from me to them in that time span. My services include internet, phone and cable (TiVo). Usually the problems I experience, have been experienced by others since I see them in Mediacom forums and describing exactly what I am experiencing. Usually a Mediacom representative answers and tries to help out but for some reason the call center team does not know about these issues or how to resolve them. They just send a tech to your house (usually about a week after) and the tech shows up and says that there is nothing he can do since he does not have a replacement box or there is no apparent issue.

    Been having issues with a tc8717 modem (August 2016) with it not allowing me to access my work portal from work. I went to my friend's house that have Mediacom and different modem and it worked there. I googled the issue in Mediacom forums and already before calling and same issues I've experienced were there but by reading through it took several months and it was a modem issue. When I called 1st response was that they don't support vpn and that I had a home account and I would need business account to use. (I read that in the forum about the call center saying that and that I would have to keep calling until I got someone who knew what they were doing). I was unlucky, all I got was about 4 tech visits and no resolution. I had to use my cell hotspot to be able to log into work portal when needed from home.

    On 11/5 or around that date I called to report intermittent Internet. The lady said power cycle modem and since it was working, it was all good... I told her but I've been doing that and it keeps going out after. Her answer was that her signal showed good and that it was all well. Then I told her that now my phone is not working and my TiVo had no Internet. Her answer was the same and that she could only now send a tech. Spent a few more minutes with her and finally it a came back up but exactly the same way it always does, it will go back out again. Finally she said that I can get a replacement modem. I told her over the phone to make sure it has a moca in it or something that would work with my TiVo service. She said it would. I told her not to send it because I would be out of town for a month and that I would call again when I was back. She still sent it and I was unable to install myself when I came back.

    On 12/12 I finally received a tech to install that modem she sent and he said I would be unable to use that one since it had no moca. Wow!! What a surprise!! After I told her to make sure... Luckily he brought a different modem and I was able to log in immediately with my work computer and had Internet, phone and cable with Internet. Within the next two weeks after, I had intermittent Internet and the TiVo boxes showed network cable unplugged and no Internet connection and no telephone. I usually just power cycled all TiVo boxes, and modem and it came back up after a few minutes. It did not bother me that much the first few times, but after a while within those two weeks I called and they said they would send a tech on 12/30 Between 8 and 10 am.

    The tech called at 8:37 am but it only rang once and it immediately said missed call (I had phone on my hand). Called back immediately and it went to Mediacom customer support line. Hung up and decided to call back and get an agent at 8:41 am (4 minutes later). Agent said that the tech called and I did not pick up and he was on his next job and that I was on the rollback list. I told her that if he really did Call he must have hung up after the first ring and that the phone that came up was Mediacom support line. She said that either way I was on the rollback list. I figured I had no other options than to just sit and wait. I called about 5 different times between 8:37 and 7 pm to get updates and the last update was that they weren't coming... I stayed all day at home on 12:30 for nothing...

    Then I open up my email and it said that the appointment had been cancelled at 6:09 pm. I asked the agent that who cancelled and she said that it may have been the tech. I was like: "so if I did not call now, I may have not even know this and not get a reschedule appointment?" Her response was like "yes... It is possible." Now she said that the tech would be here on 12/31 between 8 and 8:30 am. I told her I would like to talk to her supervisor but supervisor was busy and she later called back and I voiced my displeasure and she Said she understood. I wanted to verify the appointment time for 12/31 and she said 8-10 am and I told her the agent said 8-8:30 but she said that they don't have that time slot. It is just unbelievable that they operate this way. I called AT&T to get their services but I just found out that they don't service this area and Mediacom is the only one in this area. That is totally not good for me!!!

I haven’t had any problems with their reps. There were only a few times that I had to contact them for problems, and their service is very good. The only thing is that it’s too expensive for what I get, but it’s okay. Everything is expensive now.

    After several attempts we finally have service that works.

    Original Review: Dec. 30, 2016

    When the installer arrived, he immediately begin telling me all the reasons he could not complete the order as requested. Mediacom failed to send out equipment, a car was parked near the pole that he needed to access, he didn't know if the jack I wanted to use would work, and he wanted to use a more convenient one for himself. I told him that would not work for me.

    Once he decided that I was not going to back down and cancel the install, he called for someone else to help him access the outside pole. In the meantime a friend arrived and was parked in my driveway. The pair of installers, ran the cable they had connected to the pole across the hood of my friends brand new $70,000 truck. At this point he went outside and asked them what they thought they were doing. There were marks on the hood of the truck and he was very upset and left immediately. While he was moving the cable the first installer who had arrived was standing on the porch mocking and making rude gestures toward my friend as I stood behind him in the front door watching.

    I was very upset at this point and contacted Mediacom by phone. The individual was very helpful and assured me that a supervisor would contact me and Mediacom would take care of any damages to the vehicle. When the installer came in and was working on installing the box he continued to make comments about the truck situation and tried to tell me the cable was there before the truck was. I don't know how that would be possible since it was across the hood of the truck and not under the truck as it would be if the cable had been there first. I told him this and he argued that I was wrong. He then accused my friend of calling him and his partner names which never happened. As I stated I was standing with the door open behind the installer throughout the conversation.

    The installer completed what needed to be done outside and came in. I was on the phone and he insisted on interrupting me and talking to me even after I asked him to hold on a moment. He informed me that the jack I wanted to use (the one that was less convenient for him to use) would not work and that we would have to run the cable around the living room to use the point of access he had originally wanted to use. Because I was ready for him to leave, (we were 1 1/2 hours in at that point) I agreed knowing I would be talking to his supervisor.

    He installed the internet and then told me he had to wait for someone to bring him a cable box since I did not have one. (I confirmed with the Mediacom rep that it had never shipped). Once he had the new box, he installed it and then called his support team at Mediacom for assistance. He had the call on speaker phone and was told that the box was in "C" status and he needed to use a different box and return this one to the warehouse. He was rude to the service rep and hung up. He called back immediately and was told the same thing by another person.

    At that point he told me that it should be working shortly and he left. He never traded out the box as he was directed. Later I attempted to use my on demand service and got an error code. After unplugging the box twice I called Mediacom again where I spent nearly an hour on the phone between being on hold and the troubleshooting process only to be told that they had to send a signal and if it didn't work in 20 minutes to call back. As of now I have not heard back from the supervisor and although the first rep I spoke to was very understanding and waived the install fee, the amount of headache and time consumed dealing with this was ridiculous, not to mention this person is being paid for doing part of his job. He was unprofessional, argumentative and rude.

So they gave me another one but I don't get full picture with it. It shows commercials and then it’s real narrow. There are spaces at the top, bottom and both sides. I’m very disgusted with it.

    Mediacom at first offered outstanding service when I had first chosen them. Over the years, they've become more than just disappointing. I'm a internet based kind of guy. I rely on it for everything I do. One of my part time jobs requires me to be online for 8 hours of the day, 3 days a week. Their internet packages for rural areas are great for the price you pay, but are extremely inconsistent. (Ex. I pay over $120 a month for their package of basic cable channels and the Ultra internet package. That's over 60 channels SD & HD with internet speeds up to 100 Mbps download/10 upload.)

    Every few weeks the signal drops and my speeds drop to 1 Mbps down and up. I've contacted customer service via online chat & call support with very little results. I've changed equipment more times than I can count with very little improvement. I have family and friends that live no more than 200 yards from my home and have NO issues whatsoever. This is NO way to treat a loyal customer who's owned the service over 10 years, I'm sorry. Part of me feels that it lies on the fault of the employees that are so generously gifted to my area.

    I wanted to share my recent experience with Mediacom to hopefully help future potential customers or even current customers understand the level of service to be expected. During the construction of our new home, I called Mediacom in the middle of October to request/schedule a line bury and service connection to my home. We were in the finishing stages of work inside the home and were preparing to final grade the yard and pour our city sidewalk. Trying to prepare for tearing up a portion or the yard with a little foresight, they scheduled a technician on approx. Oct. 21st. I was not contacted after the visit by the technician or customer service.

    Approaching our move in early December, I contacted them again to start our service. After extensive time on hold (>1hr), another technician was scheduled to visit Dec 16th. He showed up without a call 30 minutes prior like he was supposed to, walked through our new house with muddy boots, and then informed us that he couldn't do the service hook-up due to lack of a pre-bury under the city sidewalk. This was found out as he was at the house with my wife since I wasn't able to show up in time being at work and without the pre-call as my wife was translating through the phone for me.

    I requested to speak to him and he said that he cannot dig under the sidewalk as the ground was too hard from the winter weather in Iowa. He told me if I could have the sidewalk bored under, he would come back after I called customer service to reschedule my appointment. After 3 additional phone calls and almost 2 hours on hold, I was finally scheduled with another visit of a technician who "will get service installed." After 10 minutes at the house on another date in which we had to schedule being home, he told me he couldn't hook up service either and that dispatch will give me a call to explain (same circumstances).

    This led to a transfer to customer service that was "dropped," me calling back, speaking with a supervisor, and them telling me that because they didn't do their job back in October they couldn't get me service until the ground was thawed. It's illegal for them to do a temporary line over the city sidewalk as a safety issue, which I completely understand. However, equipment does exist to bore under our concrete and complete the service hookup.

    After a continued discussion on what options were and the fact that I will now be in our new home for likely up to 4-5 months without service due to their mistakes, they were unwilling to offer any options of bringing in appropriate equipment to resolve the issue and bore under the sidewalk or other alternatives. I then asked if I was willing to reconsider in 4 months, is there a service credit I would receive for the inconvenience and the answer was "no."

    Needless to say, I am thoroughly unimpressed at the level of customer service to obtain new customers when this should not have been an issue if the original service request was completed in October. As I am looking for alternative services without any plans of returning to Mediacom, I hope this can help future customers understand the level of service they may receive.

    These guys are slow, care about nothing but upselling and sales, have large outages, terrible support, and should be avoided at literally any cost. Switching to AT&T resulted in a 11500% increase of speed and removed dropped packets. Sure, Mediacom had a known damaged line in the area, but they refused to repair it, and only tried to upsell for a better experience (providing 4mbs up on an advertised 20 with a high percentage of packet loss). They refused to apologize for this or even provide statistics indicating that this was an atypical experience after a month of trying to give them a chance to weigh in on the matter. Seriously, avoid these guys whenever possible.

    I live in a park where they have Mediacom. We were given the basics initially. I had to call Mediacom to get the upgrade on it. It took three days to get someone out here. It took the installer a little bit to get the cable hooked up but he got the problem figured out and did a good job. I have the internet and cable which I use daily. I'm retired, so I use it whenever I want to at no particular time. So far everything is fine, except if I do have a problem and set up an appointment, it takes Mediacom a long time to get out here, like 2-4 days. Also, I'm a Winter Texan and I'm in Iowa about eight months in year. I go to Texas for about four months and I turn my equipment in to get the payment stopped on it.

I understand there will be some increases, but if Mediacom ever gets in that range, we'll drop them too. I hate to switch all the time, but if they're not going to keep treating us fairly, we're not going to stay with them.

    We have a fair amount of channels and HBO and stuff. The internet and phone service are good. I called them recently because we were having some pixelation on three channels.

    I am a new customer and have scheduled two separate days to be home between 8a-12p for a Service Tech to set up my internet. Needless to say I have yet to have my internet hooked up. We are currently on day 3 waiting for setup. Supposed to arrive between 8a-11a today. Not too convinced but we will see. I have taken a total of 8hrs off work so far and could potentially be 12 after today. Mediacom has given me $50 credit. Ridiculous.

    Yesterday, I'm waiting for the tech and get a call at 10:55am from Mediacom saying the Tech is an hour away but has other houses to service prior. Instantly irritated. Why give me a 4hr time frame if you can't manage to show up. Earliest time they could give me was 1:45p. Unacceptable. Mind you I've been waiting two weeks for my service to be hooked because the first time they were unable to provide service either.

    So, call Mediacom's 800 number and talk to customer service. The lady I initially spoke to was nice but was unable to credit my account anything other than what was already tacked on. Transferred me to her manager. The manager was not accommodating or friendly. At one point I asked her if she would be ok with getting $50 instead of $200 (referring to missing work). She paused and said "Yes, I would." I said that's a lie. I told her "I hope my service so far is not going to be a reflection of the service I should expect as a customer in the future. Because it has been awful to this point."

    I started with Mediacom and didn't want a dish on my house or in my yard so that's why I stuck with them. The installation was quick and the tech support has been very helpful. I've called in a lot of times and they could take care of it by telling me what to poke, when to do it and so forth. If I have a problem that they can't fix like that, sometimes it takes them quite a while to get somebody out here. It's usually five or six days which is kind of aggravating. But I have no problem if I call and add or delete something in my service. I also love the new on-demand for the major stations like ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox. That is the best upgrade they've done and that's really neat. A lot of times there's five things I want to watch on TV in one night then another night there's nothing to watch so it works out great. I'm very satisfied with my experience.

    However, the price is going up too high. If I have phone and internet and TV then I could get it for a real cheap price but since I only have phone and TV, I don't get any perks. I'd like to see the cost come down some or if I could pick stations to make it a smaller package and a more inexpensive price because there's a lot of stations I get that I don't watch. I've got basic TV and the high-def. I've got the two bigger packages and my bill runs $140 a month which is steep for me. But I always tell everybody what I have with them and that I'm pleased with it. I've got a friend who's got Dish and if it's raining or snowing or storming, she loses cable.

    I live in Emmetsburg, IA which is a fairly small town. I moved here about 4 years ago and have had nothing but headaches with the atrocity that is Mediacom. First off, Mediacom is really the only option for internet in Emmetsburg. Mediacom uses their monopoly to unfairly jack up prices. Currently, I'm paying about $80 a month for 50 Mb/s. The city of Estherville (about 30 miles from me) has both Mediacom and CenturyLink. I looked into moving there for college and the exact same speed was just $30/month, $50 less than what I pay for the EXACT SAME service. I have a cousin who lives in Ames, Iowa. He pays $50/month and gets 150 Mb/s, $30 cheaper and 3x as fast as my service. Mediacom is questionably legally utilizing them being our only option to jack up our rates 2-3 times as much as cities with competing internet providers.

    Putting the fact that Mediacom is the Standard Oil of internet aside, they're also extremely unreliable. We had problems right away upon moving to Emmetsburg. We have had to have technicians come to our house 30 or more times and they rarely actually solve the problem, just delay it. We went through 5 modems before I broke down and bought our own. Also, the internet goes out CONSTANTLY, at least twice a week for an hour or more. The problems with Mediacom are just endless. Like I said earlier, we pay an outstanding $80/month for 50 Mb/s service but we RARELY ever get 50. I just ran a test on speedtest.net, we're getting 36.02 Mb/s, not even close to 50. If you live in a town where you have options on your ISP, DO NOT choose Mediacom, you'll get nothing but unhelpful technical support representatives and useless technicians. I've attached the SpeedTest results as proof of this fraud.

So I called Mediacom back to cancel the internet and phone to get just cable TV. That change got me moved up to 2 days for the install! Well about that, 1 to 5 on 12/2 around 4. I still haven't heard from the installer so I called and she told me that appointment got canceled and the computer made me another for 12/6 1 to 5. I knew nothing about it, no email nothing, I had to cancel a doctor's appt.

    He finally called at 4 and he was on his way from Springfield. They sent a young man, appeared very polite. Oh yeah, the price started at $312.00 then when I downgraded, it went to $197.58 and when he got here it was $185. All he had was a regular box on his work order on his phone, I ordered DVR that requires another box he said he had one so he called the office and they transferred to this DVR box, so he proceeded to install. After he was done he told me it would take a couple of hours for the box to update, 7 hours later, we still did not have DVR so I called and they fixed it. Then I went to use my internet and it was not working, after a call to Hughesnet they told me there was a cable problem, so I go outside and look and he cut my internet cable and striped other cable wires off my house and cut the ends.

    I have made 10 calls to Mediacom to try to get them to come fix their screw up. I made several attempts to talk to a supervisor, they kept telling me there was not one there. He also run the cable sloppy under my front door just laying on the porch. He did not have any paperwork, no work order, no books on the equipment nothing. He wasn't even able to give me a receipt for cash I gave him. Very unprofessional! The company has put me off until 1 to 5 on Friday, the 9th. Meanwhile, I have no internet.

    I think once I called in and told them the installer cut my internet I should have been made a priority. I never felt that I was from any of my calls. These IDIOTS sent me a survey about one of my calls. I got to the second question and it asked if I would talk to a SUPPORT person. I don't remember the real name they used, it give me an option to call. I did, she was nice she seemed to care she said she would get it taken care of but she couldn't get a sooner repair date. So I don't know I don't believe them every time I talked to them it was a different story!

    MEDIACOM, YOUR SUPPORT SERVICE SUCKS. YOUR BILLING DEPARTMENT SUCKS. YOUR INSTALLER SUCKS. I'm sorry people but these people make me so mad and when they screw up. They do not allow you access to a boss or anybody with authority to make corrections to screw ups. Each call I made averaged 25 mins. If they don't hang up on you after waiting. I will update after tomorrow, we'll see! P.S. The installer told me if I had any problems call him on the number he called me on. Guess what, he didn't answer and his mailbox hasn't been set up (figures huh!).

    After a recent price hike, the operator suggested that we "give up" some movie channels and sports channels in order to keep a lower price. We did. Our combined price is now about $130 per month. We had always asked to keep it below $100. What is the problem? AT&T and DirecTV offer a 5 year rate of $99 right now. COME ON Mediacom, get in touch with your customers.

    Mediacom hired a private contractor to come install internet, phone, and television services for my house. Clearly he came unprepared. After four hours, I still didn't have television in any of my bedrooms or basement. He says he has the wrong power cord and needs to go get the right one. He also didn't have any HDMI cables with him...or so he claimed, so I had to use my old ones. I wait three days. No phone call, no text, nothing from the installer. I have to call Mediacom directly to file a complaint and get this fixed. Another third party contractor comes. It's his first day on the job. Serious...first day on the job! He knows nothing - I have no idea what kind of training they gave this guy but it wasn't much.

    I have to call back to Mediacom and get issues with my router resolved the following day. Conclusion: If Mediacom is going to hire third party contractors - then they should realize these people are representing them. If that is the representation they want - then clearly they don't care about their customers. Mediacom has a terrible reputation in the town I live in. Mediacom only has customers here because they are the only cable TV and high speed internet provider that serves this area. I would never recommend Mediacom in a million years to anybody.

    I switched from AT&T U-verse and DISH network service in May 2016. U-verse internet and Dish network for TV. Both services were always on with good quality. My internet service with Mediacom is intermittently out like today it was off for around 15 minutes around 3pm. When needing to use the internet you never can count on it being up but it will generally be up in 15 to 30 minutes. Mediacom cable is almost always a question if the station tune in will work or will the picture be broken up completely or just part of the picture with several lines through it. Some channels work most of the time. When trying to watch a program on Hulu the show will stop somewhere during the show for 1 to 3 minutes and about 15 percent of the time you will have to exit Hulu and restart the show. This never happened with U-verse and Roku. With Mediacom it's like living in a third world country. If it was not for the discounted price of Mediacom I would be gone.

    October 24, 2016 I called to try to lower my Mediacom bill for Internet & telephone service. I have been a customer since 2002. My account then was under Terry & Dawn ** and we lived in Clearlake Oaks, CA. Terry passed away in 2014. So your Customer Service Rep told me I could save money if I added TV in my guest room. (I have Directv in other rooms) So the tech arrived, said they didn't send all the equipment I needed. So I called and your C.S. Rep said the TV would end up costing me MORE so she cancelled it for me and lowered my bill. That part was great. But the tech left all of the equipment that was mailed to my house spread all over my kitchen & dining room & I have been waiting for someone to pick up this stuff ever since, I live in a small house. I had to CLEAN UP his mess!!! And I had to work around all that stuff during my THANKSGIVING with my family!

    Finally Martin ** came today & picked it all up. He was great and apologized for the mess that was left and the amount of time it took to get picked up! Finally an APOLOGY from someone! You cancelled the first appt to pick up the equipt at 5 pm after I waited all day, you rescheduled an appt I was not asked but I missed the precall for pick up. So I had to wait between 8AM to 8PM on all 3 appt days. Totally unacceptable.

    I moved into my apartment approximately a year and a half ago. On doing so, I was informed that my sole option for internet was through Mediacom. I searched for reviews of the company and found them to be almost overwhelmingly negative. But, as it was my only option, I begrudgingly obtained the service. The customer service members were polite and helpful, the costs are high compared to the quality of service but aren't unreasonable, and the technician who set up my service was friendly enough to make the experience pleasant.

    The service itself is decent enough. The speeds are not as promised and certainly not what I pay for, but repeated attempts to contact customer service to get the issue resolved have failed. Additionally, there will be days where the service cuts out continuously, where resetting the modem will work for only short periods and then require additional attention to repair.

    On one occasion the hardware that I had been given upon setting up my service ceased working entirely and customer service informed me that I needed a replacement part. On exchanging my part with the new one, I was informed that the hardware I initially was given was very old and out of date. The fact that I had been given a part that was already out-dated was not pleasant to hear, to be sure.

    The collections person was very helpful and was agreeable to my solution. I was treated with respect and courtesy. I really don't have anything more to say and think it is pretty silly to insist on 40 words. In the future, I will not answer these surveys if that is your criteria. Hope that makes sense to you.

    Overall Mediacom is definitely better than its competition. Customer service is good. Product is reliable (other than a few glitches, which they are good to fix). My only complaints are really minimal and are as follows:

    When I ordered I didn't get a special but was told I could call back after 6 months and get one. After 6 months they told me I could only get one as a new customer. When I ordered TIVO, months later, I had problems with it dropping connection, over and over. But, they did come out and fix it. They don't run cables inside the house for you. I wish their FREE On-Demand movies were better organized. A couple years ago, you could go to one place and find them all. Now you have to go to the individual channel folders to find them. I HATE this!!! It takes FOREVER and I'll find a movie I like, look a little longer, and can't remember where the one I liked was. HATE HATE this. Otherwise, I am very happy with everything, including responsiveness and quality of service.

    I can't get on demand which is part of my package. Have not had it for months. Called Mediacom they sent someone who said they couldn't fix it. It had to do with a tivo update. (I don't have revoked.) When I relayed it to customer service said they had never heard of, customer service said I need a new box that would fix it. I got a new box and still don't have on demand.

    Wow. This all started a few months ago when my 2nd TV with a converter box would regularly deny access to HD channels over 836. After multiple calls to CS and resetting / signal reset one operator came to the conclusion that the box itself was outdated and unable to function with the current system. She suggested a replacement and offered to send a tech (in a week!). I asked if I could bring the old equipment to Mediacom and just trade it out, she agreed it would be faster that way. So I unplugged it all, and drove to Mediacom. There, I was told that they do not have the new box, and a tech would have to come out and install. So we scheduled a tech to come out in another week.

    The tech arrives, I meet him outside with the old equipment to exchange for the new one. Turns out that he did not have access to it, it had to be ordered, and that field guys don't normally stock the box, and it isn't available at the local Mediacom store either. So we had to order the new one. His laptop was dead, so, with me there, he called the same CS phone I have to call, wait 10 minutes for an operator, then place the order with him to mail it to my house. (Just so the tech would not have to return, I would install it.) So he phoned the item in, while explaining to me that there isn't a dedicated phone line for service techs to dispatch. Mediacom is a phone company, there is NO excuse not to have a dedicated line for your staff to call in and avoid the 10 minute wait you already force on your customers.

    The repeated issue of me needing a new box, brought up by me on CS phone calls a multitude of times, somehow never made it to the tech, he admitted he was just going to check the TV (if it was old or something) and the connection (no connection issues). Several months of my time and poor signal could have been avoided, and valuable tech time could have been saved if: 1) Local outlets actually stocked all necessary equipment, and/or 2) The initial box replacement diagnosis resulted in the part being ordered and shipped immediately.

    Remarkably poor communication coming from a communications giant, with marked inefficiency and tedious, repetitive measures required by both your staff and customers to get a relatively simple issue resolved. Believe me, if I had other options for internet, I would choose them, but since we are just rural enough, Mediacom is the sole monopoly that offers service here. I have done the research to go with another provider, and it looks like we are stuck with the one option we do have.

    Unfortunately, I recently had to cancel my Mediacom Cable TV Services since I was no longer able to afford them. Although I attempted to work out more economical solutions with representatives at the Mediacom Customer Loyalty Service Center, there were no options available to suit my needs or budget. It seems like the overall trend today is towards 'more is better'... more channels, more packages, more movies, more music, more options, more selections, more sports, etc. and, of course, for more money!

    No basic packages or simple offerings designed for the single, individual home viewer, like me, who just wants to keep informed on local & national news, watch NFL games on the weekend, enjoy PBS programing or be entertained by a few favorite cable shows on the Discovery, National Geographic, Food Network, ID Discovery and History channels, for example. Hopefully, my Amazon Fire TV Stick (or a cheaper equivalent) will help fill the void that Mediacom Cable once filled in my life during the long, cold winter seasons here at the beach in Delaware. Happy holidays to everyone at Mediacom and best wishes for a great new year!

    Service cut 3 times year by your techs because cable wasn't color coded, then it took 6 days each time to get repair service. Went to Rantoul office to switch box at 1:15PM & found note on door (be back at 2) when hours posted are 8-6. I question why my bill includes repair service when common phrase is "we will put you on a priority if there is a cancellation" & it never happens (6 days to get repair service is NOT service). 1 star rating is a GIFT with our account.

    In the last 2 weeks, my cable and internet have gone out and had to be reset 3 times. This is normal for Mediacom I've decided, as this 2 week period is not unique. However, it is terrible customer service, and consumers should not have to pay Mediacom's rates for such poor service. In addition, even if the internet had not gone out the speeds become so low at times that connection is impossible as a device 'times out' due to slow speed. If I had another cable choice other than satellite I'd be there in a heartbeat, and frankly I might have to go to satellite anyway if Mediacom can't improve their service. I don't have these issues with Comcast at my second home in FL, even through tropical storms and hurricanes. No reason why Mediacom shouldn't be able to improve for its consumers.

When I called Mediacom's office, they explained everything and led me to believe that the service would be for me. The gentleman that was here to install the equipment stayed long enough to get it all operating. Everything I have received seemed to be okay. I watch TV every evening and on the weekends, and through the week, I watch the news and other programs. As long as I have television, I would keep Mediacom because I never had any problem with them.

    Our modem went bad and we lost internet service. We troubleshot, then phoned our carrier (Mediacom) and scheduled a service call. An appt was made. We received 4 confirmation calls from Mediacom 3 days prior to our scheduled service date, all requesting we call to cancel if we are up and running or if we needed to reschedule with a phone number to call. We then received a notification from Mediacom that our service call was canceled. We called and were informed that someone "pushed a button" and canceled. This was NEVER an option in their messages, rather, there was a phone number to call. We rescheduled. The day after rescheduling we received notification, via email (keep in mind, we have no internet except in public places so thankfully we were NOT HOME) that our service call had been canceled, which was 5 days before our rescheduled service call.

    We phoned to get an explanation and was informed that someone "hit the button to cancel the service". There are only 2 people in our home, 1 who was 4 states away and the other who was on the job from 8-5 at the time this supposedly happened. We arrived home to discover a confirmation message on our answering machine from Mediacom regarding our scheduled service call with a number to CALL IF we needed to cancel or reschedule. Once again, there is no BUTTON TO PRESS option to cancel in their message, just a phone number to call.

    It amazes us that we are informed we took action that is NOT feasible. We inquired why we received reminders several times a day, several days prior to our service date, and they had no clue as to why that happened. When we wanted an explanation as to the canceled service calls (x2) and expressed there was no "button" to press, we were informed this was basically their system. Needless to say, this is such a gross display of disregard; so we immediately canceled our service with Mediacom after decades.

    I had Mediacom Cable years ago and it was good. It can be a bad weather and our TV won't go off like other cables so we liked that at that time. When there's a problem, I call the reps and they don’t have to come and see where the problem is coming from. They work and fix it right away. There's no waiting like others. Then the installer was very nice and friendly. He installed another box from the outside, came back inside, put the plate and hooked up the cables.

    Updated review: Dec. 3, 2016

    Mediacom responded to my issues in a very professional and timely manner. They quickly listened to my issues and sent a very knowledgeable tech to service my home and fix the issues. The only thing preventing a 5-star review is the initial issues with the first couple of calls I made to support. Their customer service team really did a good job fixing the situation and solving the problems.

    Original Review: Dec. 1, 2016

    I have reached out to Mediacom at least 5 times over the past 3 months about low upload speeds. When I say low, we are looking at about .01-.05. I pay for their highest speed residential package. One of their support people hung up on me and an email has also gone unanswered. I use Skype for Business for calls for my business and when the internet is unstable, my voice becomes inaudible on the line. The best they've done is dispatch a tech (who did not call me 15 minutes before arrival so I could meet him, as was promised) came out and he said everything looked "okay" and it must have been an isolated incident. He didn't even have access to everything inside my house to check my modem or anything else.

    Repeated instances of poor customer service and a total lack of care from anyone I've spoken within multiple instances of trying to resolve this has forced me to look at changing to AT&T DSL, which is the only other choice in my area. Mediacom is currently the only cable internet provider and I would have to have to downgrade my speed to DSL, but I absolutely cannot operate on unstable internet. Essentially one day per week I will have an extended period of unworkable hours at total random.

    So here it is day one. The only good part of the experience was the man that hooked it up. After that about 2 hours later the power went out. After the power came on the modem did not boot on right. Only the power and port that the computer hooks into came on. I called tech support and was told that because I was a new account that the only way to get it working again was for a tech to come out and reboot the modem. I was then disconnected with her so I had to call back. The next person tells me it's a bad modem to bring it to the shop and get a new one. He also set up an appointment for a tech support guy to come out, which is 3 days later. So in less than 24 hours of wanting internet they are here. But now have to wait 3 days to get it turned back on because of a power outage. This happens again next time we lose power I will stick to AT&T DSL slow service. They always fixed me the same day.
