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!

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

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 $.

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).
