Mediacom bill

[Miss Kitty]

We added a DSL line with Mediacom last October for our use and the use of our guests. We were enjoying a monthly charge of $29.95 a month for this service until this month, our one year anniversary. I opened up our statement and see that it has gone up to $49.95 a month! I just called and was told that my one year special was up. This is over $15.00 more than we pay in Dallas. Am I stuck?

Check your PM's

try playing off each other. explain to mediacomm that due to the increase in rate, you are considering going with DSL from Embarq(sprint) and would like to stay with mediacomm if they'll honor the old rate.

FYI, Embarq's DSL is currently $39.95. They must have been feeling some competition, because earlier this year it was also $49.95.

Yes, but we (MediaCom) will let you have the High Speed Internet for $33 if you will sign up for your phone and cable tv, each at $33 per month. That is a total of $99 (but we won't tell you that it is really about $120 after all the ++.) that you pay for about $150 worth of services.



:funn:

Does anyone have any experience with the Embarq DSL Service? I am looking for alternatives to Mediacom, and had great experience with DSL when I lived in Atlanta.

I had Mediacom too and after the introductory offer it had went up to
$49.95 a month like yours. I switched over to Embarq and the rate is:
$24.95 High-Speed Internet for as long as you have the service.

Consistently fast broadband connection 24/7
Anti-virus, spam & pop-up blockers, parental controls and more
$50.00 online rebate (covers $49.99 activation fee)
Call 866-514-7378 or Visit Embarq.com/Highspeed

If you do not have a modem you can order one for $12.95 and that
covers the shipping and handling and it's yours to keep, even if you
discontinue their service, you still keep the modem.

Hope this helps you or someone else on the SoWal Board...

I can't stand Mediacom!! How many buttons do you have to push to get to a real person, then when you do, they can't tell you anything!! I tryed for 2 months to get Mediacom in our new house, and because there were no existing lines here, it took forever. Finally, gave up and went with Embark (and Dish Network) They have always been VERY helpful, EASY to get to and I love my DSL. I'd chose them any day:clap_1:

I also ditched Mediacom...

We have and love Direct TV and use Sprint/Embarq for internet. I have had ZERO problems...

Is the speed of the internet as fast with Embarq as it is with MediaCom?
