Tired of loosing my signal when it rains with Dish. Does anyone use Mediacom for all of the services (internet,TV.Tele) ? I’m 90% sure I’m going to switch, unless someone tells me otherwise. Thanks

In three years with DirecTV, I have only lost signal to a storm 4-5 times, and never for more than 15 minutes or so…usually only a few minutes. Maybe your dish just isn’t aimed properly.
March 26, 2011 at 1:03 pm #950812Try going with some one else!!! we have been burned by mediacom for years with there unpredictable bills and billing and [censored] internet service. Every month your bill will be differant and they will give no explanation why…RUN AWAY FAST!!!!!!!!!!!
March 26, 2011 at 1:13 pm #950816I’m in SW Wisconsin and have Mediacom for my TV and Internet…
I feel all the services are way over priced no matter who your with so if price is not in the equation… I like mediacom for the internet…It is Hi Speed cable modem and it is about 95% reliable ans so is the TV…bout the only time we loose anything on the tube is when the ice storms hit..
March 26, 2011 at 1:16 pm #950817I have all three services from mediacom and the only thing i can complain about is the price if you can get on one of there deals for a year i think its like $30 a service its ok but look out after a year!!!!!! the prices will go up!!!!

their customer service sucks and they call you all the time with offers to add services, its the only choice we have in my area ( to many trees for a dish 
) and after the first year they jack up your bill but hey if your a new customer its 1/3 less as for Hi Speed thats if your not at the end of the line like we are, 16 houses before us on the line so on a weekend or evening its slow, and if you complain they just tell you to pay more for more speed, if you have Quest in your area go with them for internet and pick up a good modem, stick with the dish for tv and make them come out and check that it’s aimed properly 
March 26, 2011 at 1:47 pm #950825your dish isnt adjusted properly. plus my mediacom goes out in storms more frequently than my dish does. we use them for internet. i love when they call to try and sell me their cable package. inevitably i get the “arnt you tired of losing you dish when it rains?”. my response,”actually im tired of losing my internet for 24hrs at a time when it rains”

Agree – I bought a $5 Satellite Finder off of ebay a few years ago and it really makes aiming/fine tuning a satellite dish an easy task. Lots of YouTube videos out there that show how they work.
barcMarch 26, 2011 at 1:56 pm #950831I have mediacom as well only for Cable and Internet. I am not a fan because their customer service sucks but the internet is fast and the cable RARELY goes out. I have never gotten a call from them offering more services so that may be different area to area. If I had another cable option I would probably take it but I don’t.
I looked into dish and direct, the cost was about the same but I would have been giving up channels I want without upgrading to a more expensive package. When I looked it over dish and direct try to sell you on hundreds of channels but a larger portion of the channels were just music channels which I have some with mediacom as well and never use.Overall the reliablility is good, internet speed is good and I don’t even have the top speed and my pc at home is faster than my work pc, customer service is marginal at best but I like this option better than the satelite options.
March 26, 2011 at 2:19 pm #950836Buckshot do you get the channel flicker on windy days (quick flash to snow) from your Mediacom ?
March 26, 2011 at 2:26 pm #950842Mediacom is the worst, I have Dish now. Dish has gone out one time in 3 years, for about 10 min. Mediacom was out all the time, CS is the worst, they could care less. They will make an appt. a week or 2 away, so no tv, too bad. The price for the first year is good, but that will change BIG time.
March 26, 2011 at 2:35 pm #950843My sister in-law has mediacom and when it goes out she has nothing. She does not like it,but to old to change now!!!.Call your rep and see if they can align your dish to make it better. I have Dish and like it.
March 26, 2011 at 2:46 pm #950848I have had Mediacom cable and internet for years and have very few problems. Friends who have had their phone service don’t like it. If you talk to enough people, you will get complaints about customer service for any company. Neighbor has Direct TV and his dish was damaged by a tree limb in a storm and they lost their service. Took 3 weeks to get it replaced. If they had sent a new dish…..4 bolts and he could have fixed it himself but they wouldn’t do that.
