Does your Mediacom Cable suck too?

We seem to be having intermittent problems with our internet service since yesterday. I called them but they dropped my call. I called back and never got through. I take it they are having a bunch of calls about the situation. Please let me know what you find out.

I did until i disconnected it and got direct tv and have been happy ever since.

Our problems have been going on for about a month.

We just moved into a new house on 30A and I called Mediacom five days in a row to try and get them to connect our home to their service. They never called me back once. In this economy you wouldn't think you would have to beg a company to take your business.

30ABandMan do yourself a favor and switch your service. I had never in my whole life went through the torture that company was willing to dish out. Continuously, as told to me Mediacom representatives, a line had been cut in Georgia, Alabama, Hawaii, etc. My internet,cable, and phone went out multiple times a week, and all I could get from them was "We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you, please stay on the line and wait indefinitely for a representative, or please call back when everyone else isn't complaining about this problem. I felt bad for the reps, they were always courteous, but could rarely doing nothing more than repeat the company's ' We are sorry......." Embarq is no peach either, but miles ahead by my experience.

Don't get me started on MediaCON...............

Our Mediacom TV reception is still fuzzy. It's all our TVs, not just one.

Guess I've been luckier than most on the service.

It's the cost that cheeses me. 3 TVs. One directly connected to cable, one with a standard digital box, one with HD and DVR service. Starz and HBO. $135 a month. That's $1600 a year for TV. Amazing.

Apparently, we reached the end of our "special" where we got basic cable with no box and internet for $57 last month. Our bill has jumped to over $110 and ths service is now worse than ever!

We had the same problem. They sent out an tech who replaced the old cable coming from the utility pole to the house. Instant fix. Give them a call.

and you call them and ask do they have any new package deals and they say, "uh, no". Meanwhile, over in cell phone land, where there is competition, you can get a good deal on a new phone or for extending your contract.

Got the same thing done a while back. Same results. The tech was a good guy, told us some good inside info. Like I said, I've had good results with the worker bees, just tired of the $.

Will do. Thanks.

Well, it's 8:20am and the internet is FINALLY back up in SGB...

welcome to my world. i'm one of those people who started a "mediacom sucks" thread on sowal. i have spent the last 3 - 4 months on the phone with numerous mediacom reps, getting the same b.s. every time - never,never getting an answer as to why the picture on our tv for all our local channels freeze on occasion. just last night, fox out of panama city froze during a shark mop commercial..i know this because i kept checking the channel last night, and it remained at that spot. i didn't even bother calling this time. on 2 occasions, i was told a supervisor would get back to me in 72 hours. i have yet to speak to a supervisor,and it has been 2 months since i was told this. i KNOW it is not our tv or tv's because i know others with the same problem. all the reps ever say is "we'll send someone out". well, i tell them i don't want anyone out here because clearly, the probem is not with my tv. this is, by far, the worst utility i have ever dealt with. they should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. i told the last rep that if i treated my customers this way, i would have been fired. we also have direct tv, and it has never gone out. once direct tv gets local channels in walton county, BYE BYE MEDIACOM!!!!!!!!!! my next stop will be the sandestin office, and i will get an answer. i also don't feel we should be paying full price for something we're not getting but they never give us a credit. bad, bad, bad, bad company. a small business that acted this way would be out of business.

Shellak, Direct TV might not have 'em but Dish Network does have local channels available here - all but CBS Channel 4 out of Dothan, and I've heard they are working on that (but don't know how true that is).

Does DTV do internet? LOL..... anything to get rid of mediacrap....But cant lose my hi-speed SOWAL.

I can't help but think that if EVERYONE currently complaining canceled their Mediacom service things might improve somehow.

Between the internet, reruns, netflix, you-tube, friends w/ DVR & Tivo etc. there isn't really anything you'd truly "miss".

Mediacon blows like a 50 year old whore.

the reason we have direct tv is we wanted the NFL package, which is only available through direct tv. consequently, dish wasn't an option. but thanks for the info.

Meidacom came out and changed all my coax connectors and it seems fine now. Have you tried that?

I called the 800# today to ask a question about our bill and after routing my call to the waiting area for customer service the recorded message states if you are waiting to talk to a customer service rep for your bill "please be aware there is a $5 charge" I promptly hung up the phone. Does anyone know if there are other cable options for the north side of the 331 bridge in Freeport?
