:yikes: :yikes: :yikes: OMG, the cable is buried already. Of course the old one is still buried with the exposed end out of the ground a couple feet, but I can not believe my eyes that it's buried at all!!!

punzy, if you don't mind holding, you can call mediacom and ask them to send you a box to UPS your modem and box back to them. They do not charge, and postage is prepaid. MediaCON does have an office hidden within the gates of Sandestin, near the Human Resources center.

I called today to get new service. Whaddyknow, I was talking to a human within 15 seconds. Very smooth except the gal kept dropping her phone and it was like 'BAM!' in my ear. She said she was in Illinois and I could hear plenty of other people taking orders in the room. I guess Mediacom is like a roach motel, easy to get in, tough to get out of.

She kept dropping her phone? :rotfl:

That's classic.

I am still up and running with Embarq DSL, however, I got my bill and they promised 3 months of free DSL and the charges for DSL are on my bill(s)!

I bet they keep charging you if you don't object each month, regarding the charge.

You're right. You call them and dispute the charges, then they tell you the dispute will only be good for 90 days. They have to contact the correct party. In this case, the correct party is them.

So, you are so right. I will have to call them twice a month about this.

I find it astounding that you can't just make one call and deal with both business and residentail lines, but OH NO, you have to a different departments............

Yippie, I was driving behind an Embarq van a moment ago and saw their slogan, "This way for common sense." I'm not sure what that means exactly, since their phone service is the only land line service available in our area. Notice their focus isn't on service.
