get mediacom to drop your price for internet.

Better yet just have someone else put the "new" service in their name and get the promo rate.

That's right, gayboi. I have friends who have the cable in their pet's name, because MediaCON would rather spend more money on getting new customers rather than keeping existing, loyal customers.

Yep, someone over there has never heard of Churn. :angry:

Off topic but re:Mediacom....has anyone noticed a very high pitched sound coming from Medicom cable. It's coming from both of my televisions. Had someone coming to check it out today, but they didn't call as promised

I've had an ongoing problem with all of the low numbered (basic) channels causing a static sound. Called and they never came. Mediacon sucks.

wouldn't you just have to pay the connection fee again? I think I paid like $50. Ah well, I am only paying $5 more than I was. Besides, what would I do without internet while waitning for them to reconnect me?

I didn't pay anything for installation.

Also you just schedule the new stuff to be put in and then just swap everything else out when they come. Then take the old boxes back up to Sandestin. Voila! The installers couldn't give a rats butt that you have old equipment. Just means they get paid to drop off boxes.

My one year 39$ special for internet ended and my bill went to $60. I called them to discuss, and they dropped my payment to $45. Keep this in mind if you just have internet with them, and are paying $60. It seems the CSRs are authorized to change your payment to $45 without any problems.

For the last few years I've been successful in getting the internet portion of our cable bill reduced when I call. You have to do it every 6 months. However, the last time I tried, about a month ago, they wouldn't budge. Eventually the operator suggested that I drop the speed of my internet connection (don't remember the numbers) down. They said it would only affect me if I do a lot of downloads, which I don't typically do, so I agreed to try it. The internet portion of my bill is now $29.99. I haven't noticed any slowdown and I haven't heard complaints from my teenage daughter. I didn't even know Mediacom had two different speeds, and maybe they don't - but it reduced my bill!

They told me that 8mbps was the slowest speed available in this area. Mediacom would not lie to me!:roll:

I've never heard of having to pay a disconnect/reconnect fee from my friends who change the name of the bill payer. I believe they just tell them that there will be a new payer of the bill, as though it were a new roommate. Otherwise, MediaCON will typically tell you that you have to go without cable for 6 months before you re-qualify as a new customer for the discounted rate of $33.33++ per month.

Ever since the recent "cut cable" incident my upload speed has dropped drastically to 50kbps
it was over 200kbps
So yeh will be giving them a call
