My daughter has Mediacom and every time she's had problems they've been right out there to fix it. The sales team was very good but the rep must have been new because she didn't quite explain everything, which was, nevertheless, fine. When they installed it, the service and everybody that I talked to there were very nice. Then I got like a pamphlet about faster internet service and it was only $79 a month for the first year. I wanted to change to that but I didn't want to pay the installation fee and so I left it the same.

My tv package subscription has been nothing short of horrible. I was given wrong rates, promises of free premium packages to make up for errors, sent proof of the switch and save promotional pricing that I should have qualified for and never received the credit even after discussing with multiple operators. Constantly was told I don't qualify and that there's nothing I can do about it.

My problem is... not as was told. You straight up lied. When I talked you... It was like "well we don't care. This is the how it is". Your line ups are horrible and you just don't care. You said HBO and Cinemax... Wrong. I am just one of your many unhappy customers.

I have tried numerous times to get Mediacom to change my address from Apt. B to Apt. C without success. The City of Mexico Beach reversed the order of the four units several years ago. Every time I have a service call, the service person at first refuses to come in because my account has "B" and my unit has "C" above the door. Also, long waits for service.

Mediacom Cable is very over priced. My bill is higher than what they said it would be when I signed up Aug 2016. I'm paying $134 per month for basic extended cable which is way too much. The problem is they are franchised and it's much cheaper in other towns like Moline and Davenport. Clinton, Iowa Mediacom is overpriced and it should be the same price as other Mediacom in other places not far from here.

A rep called to sell me a plan and gave me an amount of 107.68. Then called back and said "Good news. You will also get a discount of $15 for one year" because I was switching from DirecTV to Mediacom. So monthly bill would have been 92.68 for 1 year then go up $10 each year. I received the bill and was considerably higher. I called customer service and was told the bill would be $140 per month. I explained I was told the above amount. She said "I am sorry you were misinformed" but nothing they could do. She also stated this happens a lot. I have filed a complaint against Mediacom and will also file a complaint with the BBB. But not ending there because firstly this is deceptive practices and secondly Mediacom and I were under a verbal contract when I accepted the terms during the initial phone call. Thankfully I have the phone records from the initial call.

I've signed up with Mediacom for cable service in the first year they came out. Everything went fine with their sales team. The TV is on from 6 o'clock in the morning until 8 o'clock at night. I never had a problem all these years except when we were without it for well over 24 hours and I've got a mentally handicapped granddaughter living with us who went nuts. But it was storming that time and the line was taken down. I have a great experience with Mediacom and I have no desire to go with one of those satellite dishes.

Mediacom was the least expensive cable provider and there was a dish at the apartment place that was already hooked up and all we had to do was connect it. Signing up was real easy. They gave us prompt service after we called and hooked up the cable in just a couple of days. I ordered the service for my brother who was at that residence and the channels that he had were good for him. But he died so I called to have it disconnected. I was helped right away and got real nice service.

A rep changed my service and I thought I was told I could remove Starz at the time but if I wanted to I could reinstate it if I called back after review. When I called back they said I couldn't reinstate it until after 3 months. Then I called again and was told I could reinstate it but for 1 year at 6.95 and then at current rate. Not at my previous rate of 4.95 which wasn't what I understood. They should have been more accurate at the time of change and I wouldn't have removed it.

Well I like to buy local first off. Second I like the deal they hounded me about for Whole home 99 bucks a month. My bill however has gone up after 2 years or more with Mediacom. I have had to replace 2 TiVo boxes and even the 3rd one don't work right. But I am tired of tweeting and calling about it. I do not think it is fair for a new customer to come along NH and get a better deal than me though. I have been a loyal customer for a long time with only a few outages which they compensated me for.
However my contract has been up for a few weeks now and I am pondering decreasing my plan to a more manageable one. I am on a fixed income and since I can not pay as much as I do now I am considering other options. I have a free home phone line through Mediacom as well as really fast internet. So we'll see what happens. I would recommend Mediacom over other choices that are out there but next time I believe I will choose what I want instead of going for the cheap price for two years then have it go up. I think I will be negotiating with them to lose my bill. Go local. Go Mediacom.

I called to complain about slow internet service because Mediacom said they were increasing the speed and I was having trouble. A very nice gentleman at Mediacom reviewed the setup from his office in Florida and determined that my modem was old and then said to replace it (free). He did and things now work better. Very pleased with his action and result.

Liked the phone support we received on a recent maintenance issue. Especially liked the on-site technician that came and helped resolve the maintenance issue and answering our questions. The technician's name is Tyler **. Thanks Tyler. What I wasn't impressed with was the original issue that caused us to call was explained as a maintenance update that caused us to not receive certain channels for 24 hours... It started at prime time watching and continued. No other outage report in the area. All I could do was to log a request for a technician and wait.
The scheduled time was a few days later. I let the person know that I was not happy about that turn around time. The original issue cleared itself at about 24 hours later. We received a call to confirm if the issue was resolved. It was. However, went ahead and had the technician to come and make sure we didn't have any contributing issues at our end. In summary... not happy with the turn around time for resolving issues, but happy with the support and professionalism.

Due to the upgrade that you are doing to gigabit speeds, I was notified via a browser window to call Customer support. When I called I was told that I was running an older modem and that I needed to switch out the modem, otherwise once you make the switch I would not have internet at my home. Since I live close to the repair office I drove and swapped out my modem. I did have a few issues once I returned with getting everything re-setup, but a quick call to support and I was back in business. I then did a speed test and the test came back with roughly 80 meg download and 6 meg upload. I have talked to a few other friends to find out if they have upgraded their modems yet.

Recently made a call for my business account. Explained the trouble I was experiencing at the time and that it has been an on-going problem. Tech showed up the next day, promptly and I explained to him the problem and pointed out a small bare or tattered part of a line coming into my office. He fixed the line and we had good connection and signal... However as I explained to both the rep on the phone and the tech at my business a previous tech had pointed out the fact that because of running 4 TV's, phone and high speed internet the line coming to the house/office was not the proper size.
My House/Office is located within 100 yards of the busiest freight rail line in the state and if you are trying to connect while there is train traffic then it becomes a problem. Even after the first tech explained on the phone to (I'm guessing) his supervisor the need for a new main line nothing was done. We still have problems and it has at times been very inconvenient.

We haven't even been customers for an entire month yet and have already experienced two internet outages. The first one lasted more than 24 hours while the second one was much shorter, thankfully.

Whenever I moved, I had to cancel my Mediacom account. I was unable to continue service due to you guys not servicing the area that I moved to. As a result I had to pay an early cancellation fee.

I tell them that it's unlisted now. Some of them don't call back but there are about two that still try to. The only reason I got it is for emergency use. Overall, I like Mediacom.

I was trying to renew my contract for another 2 years as my contract was up in Feb. All I wanted to do was renew. I have it all... all TV channels and WIFI... I was told that if I did NOT purchase TIVO my rates would be about 40 dollars a month higher. That was virtual blackmail. I did not want TIVO because as a rule of thumb, it does not work. But I was forced to agree to take TIVO... or pay an additional (approx) 1000 dollars more over 2 years. Well, TIVO was installed, and IT DIDN'T WORK. One fellow I talked to at Mediacom said it was because I didn't know how to work TIVO... Wow... Basically I wasn't smart enough to navigate around TIVO... This guy also told me that TIVO had PROGRAM REMINDER... and I just couldn't work it. Well come to find out... it DOESN'T. But, I would at least train my people to know what my product will do, and not call customers stupid. But that's just a thought!
So, as usual... any dealings I have had with Mediacom have all been unsatisfactory. Except one... a line person, named James, came by and got us up and going. He was not a service man but sent over because our service was out again... Nice young man and he doesn't lie or call me stupid. But all in all, if there was some way to get away from Mediacom I would. But until U-Verse gets on this street I am just stuck with TIVO and the lies of Mediacom personnel. By the way, just in case anyone cares, (and 9 to 5 they don't) my TIVO still doesn't work right... and from what I have learned it never will...
Updated on 05/15/2017: This is for a man named Cody, Mediacom rep who really tried. Cody...After all the problems I had with this TIVO system pixelating and locking up the fellows who came last (about 10 days ago), SAID IT WAS FIXED. It was lots better for a few days, but now it is back to MEDIACOM NORMAL. I was watching the golf tournament yesterday and it pixilated and locked up 56 times during the golf tournament. I kept a tally sheet but got tired when I got to 56. Today it's worse. It is pixelated and locked up more than it is working correctly. So bottom line - Mediacom is back to normal. TiVo still doesn't work and the fellows who SAID they fixed it PROVED TO BE INCORRECT (See I was politically correct. I said incorrect instead of lying). So everything with Mediacom is still the same. Nothing is fixed and nothing works correctly and Mediacom still says it is fixed. Nice work again, Mediacom.

Since the installation of my system in mid-February, we have had a number of service calls to try and correct the problem. The last time a tech came out, he identified noise on the line and called it in for repair. When I called customer service, I was told, "It should be repaired within 48 hours" and it has been over a week with no repair. I would like to ask that my billing be credited until all repairs are completed. Please advise me of your actions.

For a good while we have had loss of phone and Internet service without warning for parts of days. Techs would work by phone to correct, sometime it'd work, sometimes not. A tech came to the house and said everything was working as should be and left. Next day, same thing. This time they worked by phone off and on for hours, only to finally tell us that there was an outage in the area. Then finally I was told to take the modem in for a replacement. Which I will do in a day or so.

This was the second time I obtained a cable, Internet and telephone bundle from Mediacom. The first time, the installer arrived with used, unboxed receivers in the back of an open pickup truck. When he left, I had a 20-foot orange extension cord stretched across my back yard to power a booster for the TV signal, which was a main reason for canceling the first service.
This time, I received new receivers by mail. The installer was very professional and personable. I have no new outdoor power cords. The TV reception is excellent. The remotes are symmetrical and bear no internal light, which makes them difficult to operate in low room light. I have been unable to find a remote code that properly operates one of my TVs.

I usually just watch a couple of channels with Mediacom and it's all right, except this new TiVo which is always messing up on me. We've called them off and on different times about it. The guy said it was because I've not been able to read my lettering on there and it's because it's not a flat screen TV. My son doesn't have a problem with his and he has a flat screen. It goes out sometimes and we have to keep rebooting. Now they tell me we need another modem and they want to do an appointment but I've been too busy to make an appointment. Another thing, when I first got this and we couldn't make it work right, they told me that they didn't have cable anymore.

We have been with Mediacom for many years, ever since we've had TV and we've lived here since '65. I started out with the basic package at $10 and it's up to $42 now. That's how much it's gone up on its own and I'm disappointed on the price change all the time. We didn't get any extra channels so it seemed a little bit strange to me but if they were giving me extra channels along with it, that would be different. Then one time I mislaid my bill and found it a month later. So, they charged me over $12 which I find a little ridiculous because I was a regular customer paying. I don't mind a dollar or two but $12 was a lot. I talked to my daughter and she didn't like the way they kept raising their price either.
Also, I have been having problems getting a couple of channels. It started this Wednesday then finally it came in half a day after it was out for half a day. A man came and fixed the problem. It was that simple and everything was fine. But, I get all kinds of calls during the day from private numbers of different people. So, I wouldn't recommend them to a friend. All my family have different TV and none of them have Mediacom. I'm the only one that kept it and the only reason I did that is because I didn't want to buy. They're going through the change but I'm not pleased with it.

I've been with Mediacom for 30 years and I've always had the lowest speed and the basic package for the TV because I don't always use the internet and I, more or less, watch the basic channels on TV. Like this week, I haven't been on the computer all week and I got Netflix and I watch that sometimes. They were very helpful and everything was really good, but I just can't understand their billing department. I upgraded because they called me and said they didn't have the low-speed internet and my old modem wasn't any good anymore. But they said my bill would stay the same because I was already locked in with my low speed. My bill wouldn't go up and I could buy a modem from them for the special pricing of $89. The lady called and checked with her supervisor, he okayed it and I paid for it right then.
My regular bill is $72.38 but I got my bill today in the mail and total bill due $142.84. It says the extra is for equipment so I went down to the Mediacom office in Waterloo and she said that they charged me more for that modem which isn't right. She doesn't know why they messed up and did that. So, I'm stuck with the bill here and she says that she was gonna try and change it on her computer and to give them a few days then come down and check and see if they got it changed there at Mediacom. She didn't know if she did it right or not and that they're having trouble with it.
I'm very unhappy with the billing department messing up like this and trying to double charge me for stuff that I already paid for, like that modem. I told them about sending me a new one, I turned my old one in down at the store down Cedar Falls and I got credit for it. The billing department should be on their toes a little bit more on that. It's all in black and white there when I paid for the other modem and what my regular bill is. There was no reason for charging me on the same bill when they got the price of the new modem subtracted off. But that's the only important complaint I've got about Mediacom. I hope they get this straightened out so I can pay my bill.

I had service with Mediacom through 2009 when I left because of service outage (no disaster avoidance in place). I had received constant letters about new and great service in my area, so I contacted Mediacom and purchased service this past November. On 11/26, an independent contractor arrived at my home where he promptly told me he couldn't complete my install because there was no drop for my home. He said he'd let his boss know and someone would do a "drive-by" to figure out if they really serviced this area. I explained that I had service before and he said his system didn't show a prior service. No one ever called me or came back.
I called customer service and the young lady apologized, said great things about the company, etc. She set up another service call that ended with the same results -- no service and the independent contractor again showed no concern whatsoever. I called customer service and tried to speak with a supervisor with no results, so I canceled the service and had to wait for the credit to show on my card. Mediacom advertises they're all about service, but that's not the case in south GA. If you don't provide service or want to provide service to an area, you shouldn't advertise that you provide it. If you take an order, you should live up to the promises that you made. I wasted over 2 weeks trying to get service so I could work from home. I went to another vendor that delivered on their promises. Sad, because I would have like to have had the bandwidth Mediacom guaranteed.

Having Mediacom internet has been nothing short of a completely frustrating and stressful experience. For years now, we are constantly on the phone with them either setting up appointments for a tech to come out, or trying to get reimbursed for service downtime or poor speeds. We pay for the package around 200mbps download and am currently between 1 and 5mbps. It's like having dial-up all over again, but paying for top-notch service! I'm lucky to load up a web page in under a minute sometimes, let alone enjoy streaming anything or playing a game @ 1-5mbps. We are completely unsatisfied with the lack of commitment to service and excellence from this company. Years of frustration, poor service, and dead end phone calls. Customer service (technical support mind you) has near zero knowledge. They are basically secretaries that answer phones just to say they need to send someone out.
As a comparison, in 2002 and 2003 I had cable internet. So this is... 13-14 years ago. The cost of the service was about half of what Mediacom charges, and was a CONSTANT 50-60mbps download speed. We pay way too much for 200mbps download speed and get 1-5mbps download speed a decade and a half later??? I spend as much time restarting my router and computer as I do trying to enjoy having internet! Completely ridiculous... How, in the quad city area, is there no AT&T or other big giants in the area for competition? We are completely stuck with only ONE provider that gets to treat their paying customers like idiots. How do they get away with being able to keep taking peoples' money and providing sub-par (at best) service?
Here's a clue: We don't want to call constantly to get money back!!! We want the services we're paying for!!! We don't want to (and shouldn't have to) spend more time and frustration figuring out why your service sucks, than enjoying our service that we overpay for by a mile! You're a company advertising said services, we are a paying (keyword: paying) customer for said service and demand that service!
Would you pay for cable TV, or Dish and give them $200.00 a month for 3 channels that barely come in and never have anything good on? Because that is a fair comparison on what we get for our money as compared to services received. Except when we try to stream something on Netflix on a 5-inch screen, it sits there and buffers half the show. Seems fair right? Paying for 200mbps download and getting between 1-5mbps? I really hope that a large portion of your customers aren't near as fed up and frustrated as we are, and that you at least provide solid and reliable service for SOMEONE.

I've been with Mediacom for over 37 years but I come out of the way they do. I don't understand why some people can have HBO and all these other show channels with a regular cable and they will be paying less. They call it a business deal or hooked up through the internet, like $89.95 and some of it is $77. Here, people on social security just need regular channels, and Mediacom would go over $107. They taxed us.
Also, the communication is terrible. It takes forever to get through. I'm talking to a computer, punch this and that, and I'm on hold for 30 minutes or an hour. And sometimes, I don't even get through. Then it's been several times when we had problems with the cable or something went out. Instead of taking the old cable that's bad, they just run a new cable line and leave the other one out. It's just lines like spider webs and I had them rip it all out.
I don't have this now and there ain't nobody on my whole block that has got cable anymore. Then for two blocks down through here, everybody's taken that out. They came out and disconnected it but it just so happened the date wasn't due, like for five days for the bill. I was paid up a month in advance. They said that they were gonna send us the check just for what it was. It's like over a hundred dollar and it's supposed to be almost $87 back. They told us it'd be within a couple of weeks then it's been a month now and we still ain't got it.
The mail is not that slow. We've called twice up there and of course, we'd go through that rigmarole again. They said that they're sending the tech out and it's in the process. So then, we wait another week or so, and it's still in process and we call again. I told them that I work 47 years in the workforce all my life and I know something a little bit about patience, time, working and doing. But this is ridiculous because I know how it is.

1) When your phone and internet service goes out and you have to borrow someone else's phone to call in, the first thing they say is to go to their internet website. IMPOSSIBLE.
2) We had signed up to 40mb internet speed and told we were going over our limit and needed to upgrade, which we did. Then at 60 mb told the same thing so we went to 100mb service with 999 Gb of download capacity. Of course when doing a speed test we could rarely get to 60 mb but usually between 17 & 44 mb. I called to see how much we were downloading per month and it was around 215 Gbs. The 60mb speed comes with 400 Gb of download. Since we were never getting the 100mb speed anyway and using less than 400Gb download I thought we should go back down to the service we had before they tricked us into thinking we needed faster and bigger. Then they tell me the $20/month up charge for the best service could only be reduced $10/month to go back to the 60mb service.
We have been paying for far more than we have been getting for quite a while. They said that if I left them I would not qualify for any of their promotional deals. Since I have paid too much for so long I don't qualify for a good deal.
Their service people may be ok or even good but their service system is pathetic. I scheduled a service appointment, because of slow internet speed, and it was two weeks out. Their robot calls several times every day to see if the problem had solved itself. At the time of scheduling the appointment I told them the problem was not inside my house but in the available space in the lines into my neighborhood. They assured me that it had to be in my house. If they were so sure of that why would they have the robocalls asking if the problem was fixed when they had not yet been to my house?
I feel they do know their problem but do not want the customer to know the truth. They advertise on the internet $99 for phone tv and internet with NO CONTRACT. I have NO CONTRACT with my deal. So, why can't I cancel my $169/month and sign up for what they advertise? Especially since they have been overcharging and under delivering ever since they conned me into upgrading?

Over a year ago I switched to Mediacom tv. I already had Mediacom Internet, and had a lot of problems with it, but I remained patient that it would be fixed. When I added TV and phone service, my problems grew exponentially. My TV goes in and out all the time and my Internet gasket works at all. So far in 2017 I have probably called Mediacom 20 times about my services being out. Each time they send out a tech who looks at everything, changes one splitter and says it is fixed and leaves, only for my services to go back out in about an hour. Mediacom will send a tech out when you call, but better make sure you are here for the full 6 hour window they give you, otherwise the tech will see there are no cars and cancel your appointment. After about 3 calls a month because you don't have service, they will credit your account $20 for the month for your service being out, do you pay at least $90 a month for service that doesn't work.

What we're having right now is that the light shuts off and then comes back on a few minutes later but that's only on one channel. But my main thing with them is that they were getting so expensive for the amount of programming. They've got so many channels but some of those are three of the same thing. However, they gave me a loyalty discount a year ago which cut my cost a little bit.

We originally had CenturyLink when we first moved to the area. However, CenturyLink didn't send us our second month's bill and then cut us off. So we looked around and Mediacom has an internet package. We stream all of our TV and we don't use cable and Mediacom was decently priced for the internet, so we went with them and we've been really happy. The only thing we didn't like was nobody alerted us that we had to pay $80 or $90 on delivery and on the connection. We had set it up between paydays, and nobody had told us that until after they hooked everything up. That was really frustrating for us because we wouldn't have set it up when we did had we known.
The installation was quick and efficient and the rep was really nice. It was just that charge we were unaware of and he felt bad. He tried letting us pay half. He talked to a bunch of people on the phone and had me talk to them too but there was no way to pay half. We got to name our internet and choose our password, which was also really nice. The service lags occasionally and it's really slow. When we were in the country, we were the only ones on the internet and we never had to worry about lag time. But now that we're in the city, we deal with it. Other than that, we have no problems like outages.
Also, we sometimes forget a month but they don't disconnect us. CenturyLink disconnected us the day our bill was due when they didn't send us one. I was told we didn't need a bill to make a payment and it was our second month. We don't know what were supposed to be paying or when. But we've never had that problem with Mediacom. I've been able to pay two months at a time and they don't disconnect us immediately. Sometimes we get the bill and we just set it aside and we forgot one month. Then, we get the next bill with two months on it and then we were just able to pay it off. I love that feature, that they at least let us know before.

When we call, the techs that they send out are really polite and they do their job. The biggest problem they have is I've been a customer for years, and they come out with a slogan where they say they'll give the new customers this and that. But what about the customers that are loyal? They do not take care of their long-time customers, and I feel that's one reason a lot of them leave.
Apart from that, the thing I complain about is I put a second TV in the bedroom, and I can't get all the stations that I get on the main one. Sometimes they change channels on me without telling me and don't give me a pick. Then sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. We'd have a problem with the stations going out or we have to have a troubleshooter. We'd call and my wife can get through it usually with a troubleshooter, so the experience that way is great.

I ended up calling back on 02/08/2017 at 11:57 am and I asked to speak with a supervisor and the rude rep that I had spoken with told me that she would have to have a supervisor call me back. I gave her my contact phone number and still have not heard from anyone. I called back again on 02/21/2017 and was hung up on. They promote this "no contract" deal that they are running, but they don't tell you that you are going to have pay more for it after being installed, just to go on the search again for a new cable company. I guess they are in it for the time that can be and take you for their install fees as well. Do not go with this company.

Mediacom is pretty useful. We got the phone and internet and the installation was alright. It's for personal use and sometimes if people can't get me on the cell phone, they'll use the house phone. But the phone went out and then it went back on, then I didn't have that for about two weeks. Also, I lost my internet and Mediacom came out and fixed it.

I'm in an apartment complex area where most people have Mediacom. When I signed up for Mediacom, I paid $149 but then my first bill had even more which surprised me. Mediacom also had more taxes than I did. I originally thought with the 3Mb in bundle, it was gonna be around 80 some dollars but now it's $114 a month. I'm rather disappointed because I'm on a very limited income. It upsets me a little bit and it's more than I bargained for but I need the internet because I have a smart TV.
The people who came in to work on things had been very nice, very courteous, and have done a super job so we rate them very well. They explained to me everything as to why the bill was as high as it was but it came as a surprise when I opened up the bill and it was higher than what I expected. I couldn't even use the phone and I don't need it because I use my cellphone but I went ahead and put a phone in. I tried to dial out to find out what the number was but it wouldn't. We can't have antenna in the apartments so I thought I'll be content and reorganize my budgeting. At any rate, I will be honest and tell other people that they need to be open to what will be the final charges if they get Mediacom.

I am a Mediacom customer and sadly must report the service leaves things to be desired. I've had a number of issues which took me multiple service calls to get resolved because most times the installer wanted to blame issues on my setup and not the actual cause of the problem. After months of arguing I finally proved it wasn't my setup and things started to get resolved, however they still aren't 100%. The company is about the only real "high speed" internet service available in the area and you can definitely tell they know they have that monopoly. They change your service, adjust your billing, and never notify you of changes. I have on multiple occasions noticed a spike in our bill and had to call customer service to complain about the issue.
The other big issue I have with them is that they are now restricting the amount of service you can use. When I first became a customer they gave me a basic package with reasonable internet speeds for my home usage and no cap on usage. When they started restricting usage my basic package wouldn't cover the standard use at my house and we needed to move to a much higher package to achieve that. Now that we're at a higher package, it's MUCH more expensive and they're starting to move the limits down on the packages so we may end up having to upgrade again. The speed is great, and is available most the time (though there are some strange outages and the occasional super slow moments). My issue is that they know they have a monopoly on service like this and are squeezing their customers for every penny.

After multiple calls, Mediacom determined and fixed an issue upline from my house. I now get the 200 Mbps speed I want.
Original Review: Feb. 20, 2017
I started experiencing internet speed issues in Dec 2016. After 4 technician's visits, a complete rewiring, 2 new modems (for a total of 3 different modems) and 2 area maintenance visits, the speed is still 75-80 Mbps even though I am paying for 200 Mbps. Each time, the common answer is 'We don't know what is causing the problem. It should be working." And today when I asked for the 5th time and asked to speak to a supervisor today, they were conveniently unavailable.

We bought a second home in Bethany Beach, De 3 1/2 years ago. Mediacom is the only cable TV provider along the coast other than a Dish TV service. We have Internet and TV service through Mediacom. I have had to call them at least 25 times for outages, poor signal, interrupted service, etc. since they started providing service. And there would probably be more but we are not at our second home very often. This is a horrible company.
I have had to take countless vacation days to meet a technician, and twice they failed to show. A tech will respond and fix the problem only to have the same issue appear 3-4 weeks later. The next tech will then come out and tell me the previous person didn't do the right thing. I'm writing this now after having traveled to our beach home and turning my tv on only to find the picture goes off and on every 5 seconds.
I called Mediacom and they couldn't fix it over the phone but the guy did tell me there is a weak signal. This is the 4th time I've been told the same thing. So now I have to take another vacation day and travel 2 1/2 hours to meet another technician this coming week. Other homeowners in our community have the same complaints. If anyone is considering Mediacom as their TV and Internet provider I strongly suggest you look for another company.

The second time was even very good because I moved into a brand-new house that didn't have any cables or anything hooked up so they had to drill holes to hook it up and they did a good job.

This week alone 6 times. Have been waiting for 5 days to get service fixed. So it seems that the problem all along has been outside on the pole down the street. And I have been suffering through this for over a year and I had to demand a refund yesterday when I called was never offered to me.
When I call no one can tell me when someone will be out to fix it. Only that an service order has been placed. If I handled my customers at work the way I'm handled by Mediacom I would be fired. Forget about asking to talk to a manager, you get put on hold and then mysteriously disconnected.

I recently moved home after college and needed to cancel my Mediacom Internet subscription. I had the company for 3 years because there are very few choices where I live. Apparently throughout the years and many moves, a modem that I had been renting went missing. I still do not know what happened to it, but needless to say, I did not know it was missing or that they thought I had it. I turned in the one we had hooked up in the last house I lived in. Without trying to contact me, Mediacom sent my account straight to their collection agency, immediately affecting my credit. I, again, had no idea about the modem.
I contacted Mediacom to figure out what was going because the collection agency only knew what I being charged, not why or how. The person at the call center told me "We assume you know you have the equipment." In my opinion, that is no excuse to not contact a customer. Moving is hectic and things get misplaced and forgotten about, this is not a reason to pass off customer accounts. I will never go back to Mediacom and I encourage others to stay away from the entire company.

We had a good experience with Mediacom. They’ve always been real nice. We go to their office sometimes and pay our bill, and it just works out real good. We had cable before and then we dropped it and got satellite. Then we moved again and every time it snowed we couldn't watch TV. We thought to just get the internet and have Mediacom over here. We ended up ordering the phone, TV, DVR and the internet. We called them up and had somebody come to install it. The installation team was on time and very nice getting it all in. The only hiccup was they couldn't figure out how to get the TV set up in the bedroom because they didn't know where the signal came from. Finally, the maintenance guy who knew where the signal came from took the installer out there. I like it and would rather do it than the satellite. Now we can watch TV whenever we want to.

Mediacom was the only one in my neighborhood. I was happy with them until the internet kept going in and out. I had somebody out here five or six times within two weeks. Their repair people are nice and friendly, and they replaced everything they could think of. So going through all that frustration, I finally asked one of the guys to go up and check the wire between the house and the box. And that was it. But I still have issues with the connection.
I don't stream and just do online teaching, and it's so slow sometimes. Mediacom would say it's really slow and they'll send a guy out. Then the guy will come out and say they've been experiencing some problems and trying to update their dishes, and I should have faster service. But I don't. I can't even play Pandora without it going in and out. I would call them again and would get the same story. I even asked to be reimbursed for the times that I couldn't use it, which they did. But I'm still not running up to where I should be and it's been a month. I'm paying more to have a faster connection.
I signed a two-year contract which was up in 2016. I negotiated for a lower price 'cause I don't watch that much cable TV and I didn't even want the landline. It's the internet that I really need. But I had to get the package deal 'cause otherwise if I pay the internet by itself and just go with the lowest possible cable, it's more expensive. I negotiated and they got it down. But I just got done paying the bill for this month and it's creeping up $2 at a time. If there was another outfit coming through here that I could use, I would drop Mediacom because it's too expensive and I can't rely on the internet speed I'm paying for.

My service with Mediacom is down too frequently. In the past, I have been working with the Total Care Team (Supervisor Corporate Relations/Escalations). This department WAS "my knight in shining armor" as they would square me away and get a technician to me quickly. However over the months that I have been calling. The service from this department went from great to awful. It seems as if they have moved around some of their employees to different departments. They seemed to have moved all the rude reps to the Total Care Team. I am not even sure why it is called "Total Care" anymore as they could care less. I called today thinking that someone would assist me and all I received was rudeness from 2 different representatives. Jamie and Robyn both talked over me so badly that I called in to cancel the service.
I would like someone to pull those calls that I made to Mediacom today and explain to me if this is the type of service they would want to receive. I spoke with Clay who had no regards to me cancelling my service and then I thought about it. Let me at least find a company to switch to before cancelling so I disconnected the call. Mediacom service is always down. When I call technical support, I do not expect, neither appreciate, a representative who cannot be compassionate for my concerns. After all, I am paying for a service that I am not receiving as I should. I have had service for less than a year and I have had at least 10-15 techs out for issues. I cannot even count the countless calls that I have had to Mediacom. Mediacom needs better customer service as well as a more reliable service.
I have no one to reach out to anymore and will just switch my service as I was told by the representatives in Total Care, there is no other department at a higher level that has customer interaction. So what I got from that is, customers do not matter. They do not deserve to speak with the executives. To the recipient of this complaint, the customers are the only way Mediacom can thrive. If all of the customers get together and boycott this horrible service and customer service, where would that leave you all, Mediacom? A higher regard should be held for customers as that is the only was you make profit and thrive. Without customers, Mediacom could not stand. Therefore, there should not be a limit. I should be able to follow the chain of command as high as it goes as my issues are not being taken care of. So I am being forced to take my business elsewhere.

I have been a Mediacom customer for the past 8 1/2 years mainly because there has been no other major competition. I pay $200/mo for HD cable and Ultra50 internet. Neither of which seem to work half of the time. HD channels cut out and you have to switch over to regular cable. The cable box freezes up while trying to change channels, exit from the DVR, etc. It's frustrating. I work from home and my job requires that I have reasonable internet connection. It cuts out all of the time. Sometimes for 4 hours at a time. Businesses and other residences nearby have also been impacted. I have contacted customer service numerous times to get an answer and they tell me that everything looks good with my speeds and that they see no interruption, so they'll have to get a tech out to check the lines. This has been the response 3 different times.
Techs have checked the lines and the pole. There are no leaks or bad connections. The modem has been replaced and I have new lines inside. The issue is this... it goes out consistently at the same times throughout the day. It works fine the rest of the time. If it were an issue with my lines, my modem, my router, etc., then it would not work at all. The last tech that came out could see there were 2 problem homes nearby that could be causing everyone's internet disruption. They were going to go check them or disconnect them. That was Friday, 1/27/17. They were supposed to follow up over the weekend or by at least today, 1/30/17.
This morning, I go to log in and start working and not even an hour into my shift, my internet is worse than it has been. I call customer service AGAIN and talk to Josh to ask when the tech is going to follow up because he was supposed to follow up on this either over the weekend or today. I have explained to him that my job is being impacted due to the disruption again to my internet and that if it's not fixed I'm either going to lose my job (which is not an option) or switch service providers. He tells me there are no techs available to assist until Wednesday, Feb 1st. I tell him that's not an option and that someone either needs to come out today or I'm switching providers. He immediately raises his voice and gets an attitude, to which I tell him to forget it and hang up. As of this afternoon, I'm getting DirecTV and will save nearly $100/mo just by switching.

I got my internet through Mediacom because of the speed. The sales team has been okay except when we were trying to get the modem set up at our apartment. The salesperson who I spoke to in person in one of their offices told me certain information that wasn't true, unlike the person I spoke to on the phone who was fine. It was just sort of a minor inconvenience, though.
There was a miscommunication with their technical people. The first time around, we had the tech person come in and according to him, there was an issue with getting a signal into our apartment. He figured that the issue was inside the building so he suggested that we need to contact the owner and see about getting it fixed. And so, we did and the owner said they can do whatever is needed to be done. There was a little bit of going back and forth and Mediacom finally sent out a different tech person and it turned out that there really wasn't anything wrong. The first tech guy just forgot to connect something on the outside of the building. The whole process took about a week or so. Since then the service has been fine and I'm satisfied. It was just the initial setup and I'm not sure if I would, in the future, confide with the people at their local office as opposed to just calling the 800 number.

Original Review: Jan. 28, 2017
We contacted Mediacom Dec 14 to sign up for one of the bundle packages. They sent us the TiVo hardware and internet hardware for install. We thought. The earliest appointment for installation was Jan 13. I thought that's a really long time but it's the holidays. A contracted technician comes and hooks up one tv and the internet. He said he didn't have the digital boxes for all the other tv's. He said, "You can drive to the Mediacom 45 min away to get them". So after he leaves, I drive to get the boxes just to get to the store to find out they are closed on a Friday at 2.
I called Mediacom's 800# and they don't know why they are closed. They mailed us the 4 boxes needed for the rest of the house. I hooked them up and called to get a signal. They don't work because the installer didn't hook up cable outside. So on the phone again to get a installer out to hook the rest of the tv's up. Keep in mind I have one tv working in our bedroom while no other tv is working in the house. This past Sun another installer comes out and says the first guy was lazy and didn't do anything he was suppose to. He was going to have to run wire and he will be back to finish. He came back Mon for 30 min and haven't seen or heard anything thus far. It's Friday. I called Mediacom to get another installer out here Tuesday. I've never had this much trouble getting cable service ever. I guarantee they will want to charge the full amount on the bill when I still don't have cable. Dissatisfied to the fullest. Never again Mediacom.

I come home after work to find no internet and no cable. I call in and walk through the whole automated tv reset process and nothing works. I get routed to a sales rep who tells me there is a "signal issue" and that there was an open order on my account, meaning NO ONE was going to contact me or come to my apartment building to fix it until I called.
So, someone is coming by tomorrow, between 5-7 pm. I will be at work then and live alone in a studio apartment. When I ask how they are going to get into the secured building, she tells me I should contact my landlord to let them in. The landlord will be leaving at 5 pm and it's now my responsibility to arrange everything to work around Mediacom's schedule. Or, I can wait another day without service when someone can come two days later in the morning. I have work projects that I have to do this week when I get home and now I have to deal with this. This company sucks. I will be cutting the cord soon and going with another service provider for internet.

My daughter and grandkids have been using the internet from Mediacom for almost a year but I'm going to disconnect it when they move out as I don't need it and I don't have a computer but the service has been good.

At the time, only Mediacom was offering cable where we live so we went with them. We had them for about 12 years and sometimes I'm disappointed with the internet because it's so slow. I suppose that's probably what we're paying for but I'll check with somebody to see if that's my computer or if we need a better program. For our cable, usually if there's a problem they come right out and take care of it. So far we've been satisfied. When we're dissatisfied we'll let them know.

On the weekends we don't work. Here is what they say. "We don't do nights or weekends." I'm sitting there like um "You're kidding me right? It says it on your website and on TV." I hung up on them.

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.

My most recent statement had overusage charges that I am not responsible for. A stranger hacked into my WiFi connection on my modem {I didn't know I had access to WiFi.} I was told it is my fault because the account is in my name. Had it been my Mastercard that had been hacked they would have investigated and removed the charges. As it was, I received only $90 off. I am extremely displeased with the manner in which I was treated, as though it actually was my fault. If it happens in the future I will be changing my account to another company as this is the second time.

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.
