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 been with Mediacom since 2004 and just switch to their internet and had lots of issues in the beginning but still had to pay bill. Even with no service. But now months later they cut my service off for $50! My service never been off and they cut it off at the pole so I have to wait for tech. The rep at Medicacom was even shock at this. She never seen this before. I know people who owes 600 dollar. Not happy.

I have Mediacom for years and I got my phone and cable through them. I get good phone service and all the channels come in good all the time. My phone service used to cut out on me from time to time. But they came in, gave me a new box, and changed out everything. Their reps were helpful as well.

The wireless connection to my printer has gone out 2 or 3 times and has been restored by Mediacom by resetting my wifi. This time when I called I got a young lady who abruptly snapped back at me, "We just sell you wifi, we don't fix printers" before I could even finish describing my problem. I was so furious I couldn't even think straight. Finally, I gave up trying to explain my problem over her interruptions and asked to speak to her supervisor. He immediately listened to me and reset my wifi which solved the problem. He further set up a service call since this recurs. He was great

The customer service was very good when I would call. My experience with that was service levels better than AT&T. Once we got the new Mediacom internet service our uptime improved dramatically so I had fewer calls to customer service. I always felt like I was dealing with local people not someone in India.

Operator was able to lower my monthly rate to make it affordable for me to keep my current channels, plus upgraded my DVR to a TiVo unit, packaged in a two year contract. I like it that I can receive reception through multiple TV's without monitors at each set, paying a monthly fee on those as well. Good service.

TiVo is simple to use. Seldom have cable interruptions. Love the "whole house" TiVo. I do wish the main box wouldn't hum so loud when Tv is off. It would be perfect if I could pick each cable channel I wanted to buy instead of paying for all the unwanted channels.

The channel numbers for my mother's Digital Ready Family TV Service were all changed, and she couldn't find them. I reset the auto program and realized the channels were there, but had different numbers.

I received excellent customer service at the time I placed my initial installation call & in my last 2 calls. At one point, I was without any service for 6 days. I was compensated $6. I decided to call again for 2 reasons, to request an installation charge refund & to schedule yet another service call. Stephanie was the most professional, polite & empathetic employee I have dealt with at your company. She listened & was issuing a refund for my 1st month's service. She also scheduled my 4th appointment in an attempt to be able to enjoy my service.
I have been a DirecTV customer for approximately 13+ years. Customer service was always excellent & I had 2 service calls. I moved to a senior apartment community which only allows Mediacom. I feel taken advantage of because your company knows that I don't really have a choice. I'm grateful that I was heard & my 1st month refunded to me. I hope this is not a sign of what's to come.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We've been with Mediacom for 12 years now. They came and installed our cable TV, told us how to work it, and everything worked out fine. We're contented with our cable. When we wanna watch TV, we turn it on and watch what we want and always get a good picture. We can get the Pella station on Network 2 and we like to watch that on Sundays. They have something special once in a while. We can’t get that with Dish. However, we’re not up to date on a lot of the other networks.

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.

I've always had Mediacom services for basic cable. I'm 90 years old, so I spend a lot of time watching television and I enjoy lots of television. I've had good luck whenever I've called about problems and the reps have been very good. The cable service was very good. The tech came here one day and he had to fix something, but otherwise, they can usually do it over the phone. I've had Mediacom for a long time, but I was always satisfied because I never had any complaints. Overall, it's been very good with them.

I've had Mediacom cable internet now for a couple of years. The link speed is very inconsistent. I've inquired as to the reasons for this and a tech is sent. I'm told the issue is resolved only to have the same links speed fluctuation occur again. I have conducted my own third party speed tests and avg. 1.4mbps, but that's not what I'm paying for. It is frustrating, especially with children in college with several online classes. Their success depends upon this service functioning as per the contracted agreement. I am of the opinion that Mediacom is in violation and in breach if of said agreement. I have scheduled for a tech to visit Thursday tomorrow in the hope that a final resolution to this ongoing problem can occur. It's up to you Mediacom!

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!

We had Mediacom a long time and have all three services, the TV, internet and the landline. We watch a lot of TV but we don't do much internet except when our grandkids or somebody comes.

Their people are all knowledgeable and have done okay. However, they used to have a technician we asked them not to send because he was unhelpful and he was sharp with us. We asked a lot of questions and we have to be repeated to do this and that and he wasn't as friendly as he could have been. But other than that, we've had a good success with Mediacom over the years.

Mediacom is the only choice available on Ono Island where I live. The sales team helped me get the stuff that I needed and the service department is wonderful.

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.

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.

We’ve been with Mediacom for many years. About a year ago, we had problems where the picture would break down. But each time I call, they'd come out and replace things. A lot of people at this area are having the same problems and they stuck with it until everything worked normal. Plus, they gave us credits for the days that it wasn’t working right because it was affecting the computer too. Everybody’s been really nice, helpful and willing to work with me if a problem ever comes up. If somebody was doing something in a tablet and it would affect the computer usage and I was unaware of it, they would fix the problem and not charge me for it. So, that helped out a lot.
We had tried Dish about 15 years ago because we were told it was one of the best things, but we were very disappointed with it. Every time there are little clouds in the sky it would bleep and it would go out. So now when people tell me that they've got Dish, I'd tell them that if they don’t have Mediacom, it’s going to go out on them and they're not going to be able to see their program even on a sunny day if there are little tiny clouds up there. Plus, when we would go shopping somewhere and those representatives would be out walking around and saying, “Well, we’d like to sign you up.” We'd say, “No. Thank you. We have Mediacom. We’re happy with it. I’m not gonna switch. I refuse.” So, I don’t think I will ever leave Mediacom because we’ve been treated really good.

TV reception drops out and returns a few seconds later on a regular basis. Infuriating when you miss crucial dialogue in a program. Have also had multiple problems with Tivo and DVR. Each technician tells us that the previous technician told us the wrong thing. Maybe training is an issue? After about 5 service calls, things have been working for past couple of months. Would also like to subscribe to a few extra channels, but don't want to pay the outrageous fees to subscribe to each bundle they are a part of. Way too many channels already that we never watch. An ala carte channel menu would be nice! Satellite TV is looking more attractive all the time! Btw: Your telephone customer service reps are generally pretty nice when we call. Phone and ISP service have been working well with few outages. Thank you for your time!

Thank you for your feedback! I am glad that they got those issues taken care of for you. Very sorry that it took multiple trips to get everything resolved. What channels are you interested in? We have recently started offering additional channels packages that you may be interested in. Al-a-carte channel packages are tough because we do not dictate how channels are sold. We don't own the channels, we only deliver service from point A to point B. So picking your favorite 20-30 channels would likely cost the same if not more for less channels that you receive now.

Our service tech came on 3/16 to hook us up. Due to a lack of communication, one less box was installed that day. He said he would come back on the 20th to finish. I had our check ready for the first month and installation charges. He started to leave without it. We had to go after him to give him the check. Then, evidently, he either entered or gave to someone else incorrect routing information and/or account numbers. He did however come and install the last TIVO box.
So, fast forward a week later - the 23rd. We were watching TV and then got a message that we apparently were not subscribed to this channel. Tried another channel, same message. So I call Customer Service. That is when I was told about the misread or entered account/routing number. NO ONE called us to check things out, they just pulled the plug. I had to give the gentleman our routing and account information all over again. An electronic transfer of funds. So the gentleman restored our television service. I was told that there would not be a double payment. Well, guess what. I found out a couple of days later that both payments had been credited to my account.
Later that same day, after having the TV restored we lost internet. Had to call again. How come no one could check all of our services and restore them all??? I did send my concerns to the contact us section through the Mediacom website. I was dealing with a very nice person named Allie. I have never seen the second payment clear my bank, so I am guessing it was cancelled. She seemed to take care for our problems via the internet. Very helpful. I did receive a bill for $72.00 that I sent a check for. I truly do not understand what it covers. I am guessing for our next month service.
I left my previous service provider due to poor customer service. Many failed attempts to repair a problem, poor quality of service. Then, when there is a problem with our first payment to Mediacom, no one bothered to call, the plug was just pulled. I could understand if we were always late with payments, but I pay our bills in time, and this was our first bill due to Mediacom. I was very upset and disappointed. Allie did help. And, the people on the phone with customer service seemed nice, but I think they should have checked to see that all of our services were restored, not the necessity of more than one call. Thank you for letting me vent a little more.

Our Mediacom has been around for a while. We just watch TV with it. Installation was okay. I had some trouble with it for a while but they got it fixed. I had called their technician a couple of times, and they came. However when I call, their reps would say “I’ll be right back”, then they'd put me on hold. A couple of times, they never come back. But some other times they’re decent.

I recently decided to add a VOIP phone. I thought I was getting a line with absolutely no bells and whistles. One day I noticed that the phone I was using had a blinking light and a truncated dial tone that indicated I had a voicemail. I called one of the support numbers I had saved in my cell phone and immediately got a technician. I described the problem I was having, letting him know that I didn't know how to access my voicemail account.
At first he felt that the problem was with my phone, but I let him listen to the truncated dial tone, and then he got it. It was clear that he did not have information on how to access a voicemail account for the first time but he took it upon himself to find it out and guide me. He emailed someone he thought would know, but she didn't. Then he started digging around on the website. He found the information he was looking for, set my voicemail's password so I just needed to dial in and page through the menus to set things up. Other techs I have called just forwarded my call on to someone else, this guy decided to help me and by doing this he saved me tons of time on hold.

Mediacom is an unreliable cable system and is very costly for the poor service. For example, the signal to the modem is disrupted frequently enough that I get a loss of connection email from my thermostat which I rely upon to remotely control the temperature in the house. Also, after being gone on travel for a while, sometimes I have to call Mediacom to reset the system. And sometimes the signal goes out while I'm watching TV.

We've had Mediacom a little over a year and had to replace our modem and main box already. Sometimes in the morning when you first turn on the TV, the box has frozen on the channel that it's on and it takes 30 minutes to begin working. Whenever watching HD channels, there is a 'sound gap' about every 2 to 3 minutes. Sometimes more, sometimes less. This happens on live TV and on recordings. We've called for service on these two issues and all that we are told to do is restart the machine or they reset it from their end. We have no issues for about 3 to 5 days and then the problem comes back. We know in our area, we are getting the refurbed equipment and I kind of figured for new customers at least, we would get the new equipment to ensure our satisfaction with the company in hopes that we will stay customers.
I loved my DirecTV and was very disappointed when we had to switch but to not even get the new equipment when signing up is a bit nuts. We're paying for it. If something breaks and we need a replacement that's a refurb shouldn't we be given that option? On the upside, the service guys are always very nice and informative.

I’ve lived in Catlin, IN and Mediacom's service was excellent. I've also lived in Ashcom, Eureka and Metamora, Illinois and it was good. However, I lived over here in Watseka, Illinois and it’s not as good as it is in the big city. There's a lot more of off and on here for three years that I’ve been here than the 13 years I lived over at Metamora. So I accept that because I was originally from Ashcom, Illinois with 800 people, so I’m not complaining either. But this gentleman that came over to hook me up and did everything for me was excellent. I couldn’t ask for a nicer young gentleman. He told me if I need anything looked at since I just moved in, he can do that for me.
However, there was one time when they called me and they said, “You don’t pay your bills well,” when in fact I pay my bills as they come in the door. Then they wanted to know my driver’s license number, the number on my check account and my social security number. Apparently, my name got mixed up with another person with exactly the same name and I’m getting tarnished for somebody that was no good which scared me. Nevertheless, Mediacom was excellent.

I lived in Ankeny for about ten years and had Mediacom for cable/internet, and had very few issues. That being said we moved to Des Moines, and it is a very different story indeed. I would say in the ten years we have lived in our current location Mediacom has been out here at least 4-5 times a year. The service is just horrendous, and every time we have to wait a week and take half a day off work to get it fixed. This is if the first tech even fixes it. Often they have to escalate it to a tier 2 tech, and then it's another week and another half day off work. It really sucks because there is no viable alternative to their internet at this point. I feel trapped and abused, and it makes me furious to hear them say, "We appreciate your business," because clearly they don't.
UPDATED ON 08/28/2017: First of all, I have been a Mediacom customer for almost 20 years. If there were any viable alternative as far as internet speed, I would ditch them in a fraction of a second. The biggest problem with Mediacom is since they are "technically" not considered a utility, (a point they are happy to make) they can pretty much suck as bad as they want, and your only alternative is to go to Dish for television and Qwest for DSL internet. The problem is that regular DSL is like dial up compared to a cable modem, and there is no high speed DSL where I live.
Good luck if you have a problem, you will probably be connected to a customer service rep in the Middle East named "John" with an accent that makes them literally unintelligible. Then you will get assigned a four hour repair window 5 days from now so you can take half a day off work to replace a couple of cable ends and a defective splitter, or you can do what I end up doing most of the time and just hire an electrician to fix it, because it's cheaper than taking half a day off work. My latest fiasco with these clowns involved my wife inadvertently using the wrong password to log into our account a couple of times, therefore locking us out of our account permanently.
To get back into our account, they informed me we would have to re-register and get this - they have to send a copy of our bill through the regular postal mail with a special pin to enter to re-register, because somehow even though mankind has managed to split the atom, put a man on the moon, take pictures of the other side of the universe, land several rovers on Mars, and send ships literally out of our own solar system - Mediacom can't figure out how to reset an account over the phone with an email. And these are the people that I depend on for information exchange, frightening. I will most assuredly get some idiotic response from them saying they are "sorry I am having problems", and I will preface this with the same thing I always tell them – “You are the ones with the problems, I just get to suffer because of it.”

I am so fed up with this company but they are the only providers in my area for data. I have been with them since my first home in 1999. It all started in summer of 2015 when my modem went out. I made a service call to Mediacom but it was a week out. I had the modem for several years and realized I had paid for it (rental fees) 2 or 3 times over. I figured I could run to the local electronics store and solve the issue that day and not have to make the rental payment anymore. I called Mediacom to cancel the appointment and received suggestions on the proper modem to purchase.
I stopped by the local service office, turned in my old Docsis 2 modem, canceled the rental fee and proceeded to the electronics store. On the suggestion of the Mediacom tech I purchased an ARRIS SB6183 and a Net Gear router. It was what he had in his place and it worked great. The Mediacom's tech made the comment "I should see better speeds with the new DOCSIS 3 modem and an upgraded router". It never happened! However, we were only running on 15Mbps and had several peripherals attached, so we decided to increase the speed to 50Mbps. After a month of not noticing much of a difference, I started to run speed tests. I found the internet signal was sporadic, ranging from total loss to 35 Mbps max. Most of the time we found out the internet was out because we would receive a signal loss message from our WiFi thermostat. I also had tiling on my TV reception.
A few service calls later (months), new connections and a new service drop from the pole, the tech in my house says the modem I purchased was not compatible with Mediacom equipment (A LIE). He hooked up another modem (CISCO) and it worked (sporadic moment), charged me a service call saying it was homeowner owned equipment fault and went on his way. So, even after verifying my modem was functioning properly with ARRIS and the Mediacom phone tech, and listening to the phone tech tell me he thinks it's in the line because he can see the "noise" I purchased the same CISCO modem and was able to beg ARRIS in sending me a new Surf Board modem.
After more service calls, after taking off work, after 3 brand new modems, hours on the phone listening to the phone tech tell me the service tech at my house doesn't know what they are doing and the service tech at the house telling me it's not at the house but in the lines, nothing! I ended up being convinced to downgrade back to the 15 Mbps and wait till Dec when my contract ends and go with the XStream package which was cheaper and came with a modem and router and 100Mbps package. Jan 2016, I'm seeing up to 100 Mbps (rare, once) but it's still sporadic ranging from nothing (NO INTERNET) to 100. It's so bad I will not risk taking a college exam with it. Good luck watching something on Netflix.
This company's customer service is horrible. All they want to do is keep sending a tech out. It has come to the point the tech just laughs and doesn't even get out of his truck. He can see it's in the lines and says he's just gonna try and backtrack it. The ignorant thing about this head numbing issue is Mediacom keeps trying to sell me internet phone when I call to complain about my internet service. May 2016, they seemed to have fix the loss of internet but speeds are still sporadic, so I gave up. The repeated loss of internet came back in Jan 2017 and is getting worse and of course, the next service call is in a week. I'm thinking it's time for a change.

I've had Mediacom's service now for three months. However, they didn't provide me with a guide to the program listings here. There's not one screen that I could find and it's impossible to get them to answer the phone. All I get are recordings and voicemails and no return calls. The customer service has some problems. I'd still like to know the channel listing. I look in the paper to try to find it. I also went on the internet and see if Mediacom had printed out the schedule for Springfield, Missouri which they haven't anywhere on the internet that I could find. The one in the Springfield news leader doesn't match up with the channels that we have here in our building so it's impossible to follow that.
I also had major problems with the installation of my service when I came here. I have the internet service from them too and the man came out and didn't hook it up properly. The person that lived here before me had the service that he paid for. He got a lot more channels but it didn't seem to be cut off when he moved. I was getting all of those channels but thought that was what I was supposed to be getting because no one told me what channels I was supposed to get. No one answered the customer service to tell me and the guy didn't tell me and he didn't drop off a channel listing with me. Then when he came out later on to hook up the high speed internet connection, he removed all of those channels that was there.
I wasn't paying for them so I shouldn't be getting them anyway but it was just upsetting. Mediacom should have taken them off when they moved out. I'm still waiting for my bill for the internet, I don't know why I haven't received it yet and I hope I'm not behind on my bill. I can't call up and ask anybody about it because no one would answer the phones. Most of the recorded messages ask for my account number but I don't have personal accounts in this building. We have the company that runs this place that has a business account. I have asked them for the business account number but they wouldn't tell me so how can I answer to a recording machine that I don't have. They don't give me an option if I don't have an account number. It's a poorly thought out system.
There's a whole bunch of Mediacom numbers listed in our current phone book, I've tried them all and some of them aren't even active anymore. I gave up trying to get through to anyone. Mediacom comes with the rent in this building that I'm in. Otherwise I would consider changing to another service. They don't put any good channel on the business accounts for apartment buildings.

I still have not been credited back my money. Mediacom never showed up and yet I still received a modem from Mediacom through UPS. I want my money back because I didn't order these services. My name is Jennifer not Hunter. They can gladly have the modem they shipped to my house in someone else's name but all I want is my 160 dollars back. I'm a single mother that works over 40 hours a week running a doctors office so I don't have 160 to just give away or be taken without my permission!!

I once went with another company, but I realized it just wasn't something I cared for so I went back to Mediacom. I like Mediacom and their people. The installation was real simple, too. If I didn't have the box, they'd just come in. I would make an appointment, and just be here when they're here and I never had a problem. With Mediacom, I can watch my local news and the morning stations. Also, there's always good movies on USA or all those stations. I don't even feel I have to go to HBO, unless I really want to. There's always a wide variety of channels and I can always add if I think I can afford it. The people there are always really nice and friendly. A couple of times I've had to ask them to work with me on my bill and that went good. I get disability and I'm on a limited income so as that comes along I know I can pay what I can pay and then I can catch it up the next month.

We have been having issues with our internet for years. I have had techs here regularly and they say they can never find a problem. I started to log test results using speed test and am even more disappointed. I pay for 100 mbs internet. Whenever the tech is here and for 2 days following I get upload speeds well above the 100 mbs.
After the 3rd day we are down to an average of 32 mbs and several times a day we don't have any wifi service. Lately between 3 am and 6:30 am we have no service. This gets to be very annoying when you have trouble sleeping. It is really frustrating that without fail if I call for a service call we receive the service we pay for and all other times we get about 1/3 of the speed. In a household with several wifi devices the speed issue becomes a problem. Also our upload speeds run around the 5 mbs range not terrible but again when service techs are here they come in at above 20 mbs. I live in a small rural community and we do not have many choices for internet services so we are stuck with what we have. It would just be extremely nice to get what we pay for.

Mediacom's sales team was fine. I didn't have any problems with them. They had a special on the internet and cable so the price is reasonable. I got the basic services. Installation was simple and I have no complaints. They delivered what they promised to deliver. I watch television for the news mostly and I use the internet for everything.

We feel the approximately 150$ a month we pay for basic tv and high speed internet is too steep for a vacation home that we only get to occasionally, and we are actively looking for alternatives to Mediacom. The service itself is fine though.

I have TV and an internet service with Mediacom. I recently moved so the installation was done again. The installers were quick and stayed for a while to see that it's working. We've had Mediacom as long as we've had TV and I haven't had any problems with them.

I've had Mediacom for lots and lots of years. They're a little expensive now and they raise my bill every time it's due. It has been going up every month. I'll talk to them and if they don't give me a good explanation I might change to a different company. But I like their internet because it doesn't go out with distance and when the wind blows or when it rains. I haven't had problems with outages. That's one reason I've stayed with them so long. I'm satisfied with everything except for the bills. Also, I had good experiences with their customer service reps. They're helpful and fix whatever I need to call about. I use it every day. That's all I do, sit and watch TV when I'm not at work. It's on except when I'm sleeping or down to work. One time, because I work all weekend, I didn't get to watch my show. I called them and it was on the next day. I was really happy about that.

I am mostly satisfied and happy with what I get from Mediacom. There's always room for improvement. Their technicians have always been professional, accommodating, and polite. There was once or twice someone who had like a chip on his shoulder, but after he left I thought he must have been having a bad day. I have problems off and on with the TV or with my phone, but I can usually call and eventually get it resolved. However, my phone problems have come often, and when I get up in the morning and I don't have a dial tone for a while. I have mentioned it to Mediacom and they have been out and resolved it, but it's still an intermittent thing. Sometimes I couldn't get through to them because they said they were experiencing more calls. I don't even get the automated stuff, and I have a vision problem so I don't see well when they ask to punch in numbers. I try to wait until they say something about pressing "0" to reach an operator.

I files a case with the BBB and after talking yet again to a manager at Mediacom looks like we have the issue resolved. I have an email saying the mark will be removed from my credit record. Now I wait and see if they do it.
Original Review: March 13, 2017
We cancelled our account last year due to available service. Otherwise we were happy with Mediacom at that time. A technician came by, inventoried the equipment and gave me a receipt. I started getting collection notices about a month later. I called in and sent them a copy of the receipt and they said they would take care of it. About a month or a little more later I got a notice that a bad marker had been placed on my credit account by the collections department they use in Dallas. I called there but it is completely automated and I could not talk to a person. I called Mediacom again and they said the numbers on my receipt did not match the numbers they had on file so it was never cleared. I explained my account, said I had a TIVO, a modem and three minis and my receipt said I had returned a TIVO, a modem and three minis so odds were they had the numbers mixed up. They said they would look into it.
I called about 8 times over the course of three months and got everything from "The numbers don't match and you still owe us" to "Yeah this happens a lot and we will take care of it and remove the marker on your credit". I noticed later that the account had been written off on my credit instead of removed so I called in again. They said that since the numbers didn't match, even though I had a receipt showing I returned the same numbers and kind of equipment, they were not going to remove it from my credit. I have been told twice that a manager would call me back and he never has. No one there seems to use any common sense and see that I likely did not have extra Mediacom equipment with different numbers laying around and returned that just to keep the other. Ridiculous. They can't seem to think.
So now I have a bad marker on my credit and we're trying to buy a house. I did everything I was supposed to and have the receipt to prove it and they don't seem to care beyond "The number don't match. Sorry you are screwed." Last time I deal with them and I plan to spread the work as far as I can. Incompetent, incapable of common thought and couldn't care less who they hurt.

Be careful when you agree to a package. When they install it you will find that it did not have what you asked for them to have on it. I signed up for internet and cable. Told them I needed WIFI and the fastest internet they had. When they installed it, they didn't give me WIFI. It is going to cost me $3.95/month more. Then when they installed the cable TV, they didn't give me the channels that I requested. All I got was the basic channels. When I called them they said it was going to cost me $50 more per month!!! I then called and canceled my cable and went to just internet and AGAIN told them that I had to have WIFI and after they changed it, I don't have WIFI. They are charging me an extra $3.95 per month.

I would rate the overall service we've had over the many years we've been Mediacom customers as poor. Numerous times when we've had service issues, signal issues, etc. we either get a tech that is complacent or seemingly unknowledgeable about the problem, or they can't find the problem. The cable box outside is uncovered most of the time and after repeated notifications by me remains the same. The cable in the ground coming to the house is uncovered in many spots due to erosion and I believe not burying it deep enough to begin with. The services provided seem to continually become less yet the price either stays the same or increases. Why then, you may ask, do we remain customers of Mediacom? Good question. I hope to remedy that very soon. The problem is that all the local cable companies are not much better. It's quite a racket you people have going. So I am continuing to search for better options. Hope to find one soon.

Mediacom has proven to me that they are a great company. I have been with them since 2013. I had Directv for 6 years and recently moved to Mediacom Cable TV. Since AT&T has bought out Directv, their prices are going up, the policies are tightening, they no longer price match or give discounts to long term customers. AT&T is really only concerned about the bottom line. Mediacom, on the other hand, provides great Internet and TV Service. I get the same channels with Mediacom that I had with Directv, but pay half as much. I had four devices with Directv, and I now have four devices with Mediacom. The crazy thing is that I literally pay the same rate (within a few cents) to Mediacom that I paid with Directv. However, my Mediacom bill covers TV and Internet!!! I have the fastest Internet I can get where I live; 200Mbps down and 20 Mbps up. All-in-all, I could not be happier with Mediacom.
Thank you Jeffery!! We always love to hear feedback from our customers. We really appreciate you taking time to let us know about your experience with us. If you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to let us know. Have a great day!

I just moved into my own apartment in Washington and the apartment complex that I live in prefers Mediacom because we cannot drill holes outside the building. I set up a time for someone to come out and hook me up and the installers worked good. I got cable, with over 832 channels, internet and home phone. Before I had the services, I was going down to my neighbor’s apartment to watch TV and running my computer off her internet downstairs.
I watch TV at night before I go to bed, use my house phone 24/7, and usually am on the internet all night. Mediacom's connection is good and doesn't break up when I’m on Facebook or when I’m talking to somebody on video chat. But when I was using my neighbor’s internet and I was video chatting, the internet would drop.

I am very happy with the service. I have a big problem with the dvr. I had DIRECTV for years but their price and dependability fell off so I switched to Mediacom. The DIRECTV dvr was simple to use. The Mediacom is not so much. My biggest complaints are when you fast forward and start play again it doesn't back up a few seconds like DIRECTV does. You miss some of the program. When you go to record from the guide you have to push several buttons to get it done. DIRECTV was just push the record button once to record and twice for the series. Simple!
Programming is the same way. Way more procedures than need to be. When they add channels they automatically add them to the channel list. Then you have to go in and remove them. They are always some obscure channels that no one watches. I would think these could be corrected with software updates. If Mediacom had DIRECTV's dvr and their own customer service they would be perfect. Mediacom customer service is great.

The communications among installation and customer service are deplorable. I arranged for service to be moved to a newly purchased home. I was told during the buying process before I made an offer on the home by Mediacom and the builder that Mediacom would be available at the new home. The customer service person made the arrangements for an installer to come to the new home and again assured me that Mediacom was available. When the installer arrived, he could find no Mediacom box or any type of service for Mediacom. The installer and I spent three hours on the phone trying to resolve the issue to no resolution.
When I called Mediacom the next Monday, I was assured by that customer service representative that the problem had been resolved and another installer was being dispatched to set up Mediacom service. When that installer arrived, he too could find no way to install Mediacom. He and I spent another three hours on the phone where we were subjected to rudeness and a response that basically said nothing could be done and no one knew how to fix it.
The next day I contacted another customer service representative who reiterated that nothing could be done. When I demanded my money back (I had paid in advance), I was referred to a customer service manager who offered no solutions. In further research, it appears that Mediacom does not provide service to the home that I have purchased. I am now stuck with a two year contract with DirecTV and CenturyLink - neither of which provides the service I want. To add insult to injury, Mediacom promptly turned off my service on January 27 at 5:00 a.m. but yet charged me for the days I did not have any service whatsoever from Mediacom because no installer could figure out how to install service. I was subjected to rudeness and a complete lack of knowledge by customer service representatives. They should have known there was no service available on my first inquiry before I even purchased the new home.
