Does your Mediacom Cable suck too?

[Dave Rauschkolb]

Good question

Evidently, they can't run a line further than100 yards or something. We have implored them to do that too but with no luck. Believe me this has had me simmering for 20 years.

Why would they need to go under the road? I assume there are houses both east and west of you with cable on the south side of 30A.

I have never had a problem with mediacom. My cable is paid for in my condo association fees and my high speed internet is 45 a month. Has been rock solid for me for over 2 years now.

Our TV reception isn't bad, but I haven't been able to find a channel lineup anywhere for Mediacom. I don't know what the h--- is on what channel.

Lucky you. I don't want to sound meanspirited, but your good fortune is one of the reasons why the rest of us are paying more and more all the time, and getting less and less. (Note to Sandcastle: Mediacon removed the channel lineup so they would no longer have to pay for it. Since then, they have raised rates twice.) Your association management has a bulk cable rate contract with Mediacon, and those of us who pay for service to single-family houses are in effect subsidizing your bargain rate. We pay full fare, and you get a deal through your association so that Mediacon has an advantage in your building, a captive audience. I've never really understood why this is legal. And worse yet, the rate is going to vary from association to association - each contract is negotiated separately and pretty much secretly. You can of course find out what other associations are paying and negotiate an even better deal if you can, but Mediacon won't volunteer that information, and they won't share it with the public. :angry:

Really? Amazing that people on big lots can get cable then. :roll:

Though I am amazed you can actually get through to them - 45 minutes of craptastic hold music every time I try to call.

Sandcastle - I just use the internet TV listings on msn when I need to figure it out. Mediacon also recently changed a couple channels around, so ABCfamily is now 78 instead of 9 and TNT is now 60 instead of 6.
